Periodontics (Gum Disease Treatment)
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. We diagnose and treat gum disease, helping reduce inflammation, stop bad breath, preserve bone structure, and prevent tooth loss. Early treatment is key to maintaining long-term oral health.
What’s Included in This Service:
1. Comprehensive Gum Health Assessment
Detailed evaluation of your gum tissue, including pocket depth measurements, bleeding point charting, and digital imaging to accurately diagnose the stage and severity of gum disease.
2. Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
A non-surgical deep cleaning procedure that removes hardened tartar and bacterial deposits from below the gumline, smoothing root surfaces to help gums heal and reattach to the teeth.
3. Gum Infection & Inflammation Management
Targeted treatment using antimicrobial therapy, medicated rinses, and localized antibiotics to control active infection, reduce swelling, and halt the progression of periodontal disease.
4. Bone Grafting & Regenerative Therapy
Advanced procedures to rebuild bone tissue lost to gum disease - restoring the structural foundation needed to support your teeth and prevent further deterioration.
5. Gum Grafting & Tissue Repair
Surgical treatment to restore receding gumlines by grafting healthy tissue over exposed roots - protecting teeth from sensitivity, decay, and further gum recession.
6. Ongoing Periodontal Maintenance
Customized maintenance cleanings scheduled more frequently than standard hygiene visits - designed to keep gum disease under control and prevent recurrence after active treatment.
Why Periodontal Treatment Matters
Prevent Tooth Loss:
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults - early treatment stops the damage and keeps your natural teeth firmly in place.
Eliminate Persistent Bad Breath:
Chronic bad breath is often caused by bacteria trapped below the gumline - periodontal treatment removes the source for lasting freshness.
Preserve Jawbone Structure:
Untreated gum disease gradually destroys the bone supporting your teeth - intervention halts bone loss and restores stability.
Protect Your Overall Health:
Research links untreated gum disease to serious systemic conditions including heart disease, diabetes complications, and respiratory infections.
Who It’s For
Periodontal treatment is essential for:
Patients experiencing bleeding, swollen, or tender gums - especially during brushing, flossing, or eating harder foods.
Individuals with persistent bad breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth that doesn't resolve with regular oral hygiene.
Those diagnosed with gingivitis or periodontitis who need professional intervention to prevent progression and irreversible damage.
Patients with loose teeth, receding gums, or visible bone loss requiring advanced periodontal therapy and long-term maintenance.
