Our Periodontal Treatments
Scaling and Root Planing
This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the root surfaces to help your gums reattach to your teeth. It is the first line of treatment for moderate gum disease.
Gum Disease Evaluation
We measure the depth of the pockets around each tooth, assess bone levels, and evaluate gum tissue health to determine the stage of disease and the most effective treatment plan.
Maintenance Programs
After active treatment, patients with gum disease benefit from more frequent cleanings, typically every three to four months, to prevent recurrence and monitor gum health.
Risk Factors for Gum Disease
- Poor oral hygiene and plaque buildup
- Smoking and tobacco use
- Genetics and family history
- Stress and hormonal changes
- Poor diet and nutritional deficiencies
- Diabetes and other systemic illnesses
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Certain medications that reduce saliva flow
For advanced cases, we also offer LANAP laser gum treatment, a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery.
