Common Signs of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is one of the most widespread oral health conditions affecting adults in the United States. It begins quietly, often without pain, which is why so many people don't realize they have it until it has progressed. The good news? With early detection and proper treatment, gum disease is highly manageable, and in many cases, reversible.
- Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gum tissue
- Persistent bad breath that doesn't go away
- Gums that appear to be pulling away from your teeth
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Changes in your bite or how your teeth fit together
- Pus or discharge along the gumline
- Sensitive teeth, especially near the gumline
Our Comprehensive Periodontal Services
Every smile is unique, and so is every treatment plan we create. Our periodontal services are designed to meet you where you are. Whether you need preventive care, non-surgical treatment, or advanced therapy for more complex cases, our expert team is here for you.
Periodontal Evaluations and Diagnostics
A thorough periodontal evaluation is the first step toward healthier gums. We measure pocket depths, assess gum recession, evaluate bone levels, and check for any signs of inflammation or infection. Using digital imaging and modern diagnostic tools, we get a complete picture of your gum health so we can recommend the most effective path forward.
Scaling and Root Planing
Often called a "deep cleaning," scaling and root planing is a non-surgical treatment for early to moderate gum disease. We gently remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, then smooth the root surfaces to help your gums reattach to the teeth. Many patients see significant improvement after just one or two sessions, especially when paired with a consistent home care routine.
Periodontal Maintenance
After active treatment, ongoing maintenance is essential to keep gum disease from coming back. These specialized cleanings are more thorough than a routine cleaning and are typically scheduled every three to four months. We monitor your progress closely and adjust your care plan as needed to keep your gums in great shape long term.
Gum Recession Treatment
Receding gums can expose tooth roots, increase sensitivity, and affect the appearance of your smile. We offer a range of treatments to address recession, restore healthy tissue, and protect your teeth from further damage.
