X-rays and other diagnostic tests may be conducted to determine the extent of periodontal disease.

Based on the examination findings, Dr. Kutsikovich develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to the patient's needs. The treatment plan may include both non-surgical and surgical interventions, depending on the severity of the periodontal disease.

Non-surgical treatments such as scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) are often the first line of defense against periodontal disease. During scaling, plaque and tartar are removed from above and below the gumline. Root planing involves smoothing the root surfaces to remove bacterial toxins and promote gum reattachment.

Following non-surgical treatment, patients are typically scheduled for regular periodontal maintenance appointments. These appointments involve thorough cleanings and evaluations to monitor the progress of periodontal therapy and prevent the recurrence of disease.
