Early Detection. Effective Treatment. Ongoing Support.
Gum disease can often go unnoticed in its early stages, which is why regular dental visits are so important. If we detect signs of inflammation, bleeding, or bone loss, we take action immediately to protect your smile. Our goal is not only to treat the symptoms but also to help you understand what’s happening and how you can take control of your oral health at home.
Here’s how we approach periodontal care:
1. Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is also known as deep cleaning. This is often the first step in treating gum disease. Scaling and root planing is a thorough cleaning procedure that exceeds the capabilities of routine cleanings.
Scaling removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline, where harmful bacteria tend to thrive.
Root planing smooths the root surfaces of the teeth, helping the gums reattach and reducing the likelihood of future buildup.
Because this treatment targets areas that are difficult to reach, it’s often performed over several appointments. We’ll guide you through the process every step of the way – your commitment is key to successful results.
2. Laser Periodontal Therapy
Lasers help eliminate lingering bacteria without damaging healthy tissue.
They can stimulate gum reattachment and reduce inflammation.
Patients often experience minimal discomfort and faster recovery compared to traditional surgical methods.
This advanced therapy supports long-term gum health while reducing the risk of reinfection and more invasive procedures in the future.
3. Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal maintenance appointments are specifically designed for patients who have experienced gum disease.
These visits enable us to closely monitor your gum health and prevent disease recurrence.
We typically recommend periodontal maintenance every 3 to 4 months, depending on your individual needs and the condition of your teeth and gums.
These cleanings include deeper scaling and careful evaluation of gum pockets and inflammation levels.
Our goal is to help you stay ahead of the disease, manage symptoms, and maintain a healthier mouth for life.
