Whether you need routine gum care or advanced treatment for gingivitis or periodontitis, our skilled team is here to help you maintain a healthy, confident smile.

What is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is an infection of the gums caused by plaque and bacteria buildup. If left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and other serious health complications. Early detection and treatment are crucial to maintaining your oral and overall well-being.

Signs of Gum Disease

Common symptoms of gum disease include:

Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
Persistent bad breath
Receding gums or teeth appearing longer
Sensitivity or discomfort while eating
Loose teeth or changes in bite alignment

Our Periodontal Therapy Services

Gum Disease Prevention & Early Treatment

Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed with proper oral hygiene and professional cleanings. Our team provides:

Thorough dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup
Guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques
Antibacterial treatments to reduce bacteria levels

Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

For patients with more advanced gum disease (periodontitis), we offer scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that:

Removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline
Smooths root surfaces to help gums reattach
Reduces inflammation and prevents further infection

Laser Gum Therapy

Using advanced dental laser technology, we can treat gum disease with minimally invasive techniques, reducing discomfort and speeding up healing time.

Gum Grafting & Recession Treatment

If your gums have receded due to periodontitis, we offer gum grafting procedures to restore lost tissue and protect your teeth from sensitivity and further damage.

How to Maintain Healthy Gums

To keep your gums healthy and prevent periodontal disease, follow these essential care tips:

Brush twice daily and floss regularly
Use an antibacterial mouthwash to reduce plaque
Eat a balanced diet and avoid excessive sugar
Quit smoking, as it increases the risk of gum disease
Schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings
