Cushman Cheryl L,LITHIA SPRINGS

Dental Examination
While a dentist provides patients with general care like cleanings and exams, a periodontist is a specialist who focuses on maintaining the gums and bone that supports the teeth. Dr. Cheryl L. Cushman is proud to offer a range of services to address concerns like gum disease, missing teeth, and more.
X-rays

Teeth Cleaning
Periodontists are more specialized than regular dentists and their scope of care is narrower. If you are simply in need of routine dental cleaning, or perhaps a cosmetic treatment like teeth whitening, then a dentist can help. However, if you are dealing with periodontal disease, or if you are interested in dental implant surgery, you will be best served by a periodontist.

Fillings
Resin Composite
The Maryland bonded bridge traditionally featured metal wings and porcelain pontics. Although sturdy, the metal caused the enamel to appear darker and teeth to take on gray tint. Today, the wings are composed of a custom-colored composite resin for more realistic results. To secure the bridge, the supporting teeth are chemically etched to create a strong bond between the wings and teeth. The bridge is then secured with a biocompatible bonding agent.
Veneers
It allows your dentist to access decay or create a better foundation for your crown. It may also be recommended before receiving a veneer.
Crowns
If you have been told you need a filling or dental crown, you might first require a preparatory procedure called crown lengthening.
Bridges
A dental bridge is a completely customized set of prosthetic teeth that fills the gap in your smile and provides lasting comfort.
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
We understand that repairing your smile is a priority after tooth extraction. To help expedite the process, Dr. Cushman will create a custom restorative dentistry treatment plan prior to your tooth extraction so we can get started as soon as possible. If you decide to get a dental implant, we may be able to perform the procedure in the very same appointment.

Root Canal Treatment
While many tooth infections can be treated with a root canal, in some cases, the procedure is not advisable due to health conditions. Extraction may also be necessary if you have undergone a failed root canal.

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
Periodontal Surgery
With this periodontal surgery procedure, you can reduce tooth sensitivity and any soreness associated with exposed tooth roots.
Deep Cleaning
A deep cleaning can benefit your current oral health and appearance, and even your overall physical well-being. Appropriate periodontal care can stop the progression of gum disease and combat serious damage, such as tooth loss. There is no cure for periodontitis but when you maintain good hygiene after your deep cleaning, you could enjoy healthy teeth and a beautiful smile for many years.

Dentures
Dentures can replace several missing teeth or an entire dental arch, restoring the function and appearance of your smile.

Dental Implants
Facial trauma, untreated gum disease, and tooth loss can result in jawbone recession, making it difficult to qualify for dental implants.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Bone grafting requires care from a true expert in the field. Periodontics is one of just two oral surgery specialties, and Dr. Cushman has over 20 years of experience in this area.
Pre-prosthetic Surgery
Dental implants. A bone graft can restore lost tissue if you have experienced jawbone recession. Even for a traditional restoration, your doctor may recommend pre-prosthetic surgery to prevent issues and make your restoration fit more comfortably.
Gum Surgery
Osseous Surgery
Left untreated, periodontal disease will not only affect your gums. As the condition progresses, it will eventually spread to your bone tissue as well. When this occurs, pockets will form in your jawbone, and you could eventually experience widespread tooth loss. With decades of experience, Dr. Cheryl L. Cushman can perform osseous surgery at our Lithia Springs, GA, practice to treat your periodontal disease. After removing bacteria and damaged tissue, she will reshape your bone and reposition your gums for restored oral health. Dr. Cushman has the advanced training needed to ensure your procedure is safe and involves negligible discomfort.
Tooth Extractions
While Dr. Cheryl L. Cushman will always attempt to save your natural teeth, in some cases, tooth extraction is the best possible solution.
Ridge Augmentation
Socket preservation. The procedure can also be done after months or even years have passed. This is most often referred to as ridge augmentation. A sinus lift is a special type of graft in which the sinus floor is raised and the material is packed into the space below. Grafting techniques can also be combined to achieve the best outcome.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting allows dentists to rebuild or strengthen the upper and lower jaws. A graft can address isolated bone loss or more widespread degeneration. There are several different types of bone grafting materials, including natural and synthetic options. Although grafting can be performed to correct the effects of injuries or congenital defects, the procedure is most often recommended for

Teeth Whitening
Do not use whitening toothpaste or an abrasive toothpaste, as these contain powerful levels of peroxide that may damage your dentures without whitening them. Instead, use a denture cleanser.
General Dentistry
In addition, Dr. Cushman practiced general dentistry for four years. Thanks to this background, she understands the important relationship between gum disease and overall oral health. She is committed to providing comprehensive treatment to improve your complete oral and physical well-being.
