Gum (Periodontal) Disease Treatment
Gum disease is a common condition that, if left untreated, can lead to serious oral health issues. Our skilled team offers effective gum disease treatment to restore your oral health and protect your smile.
Understanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease or periodontitis, is an infection that affects the gums and the bone structure supporting your teeth. This condition can lead to tooth loss and other complications if not addressed promptly. Early detection and treatment by a gum disease dentist are crucial to maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
Our team provides comprehensive care to manage all stages of periodontal disease, from gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. With professional gum disease treatment—including deep cleanings, scaling and root planing, and ongoing maintenance—we focus on preserving your oral health and preventing further damage.

How do you treat gum disease?
Gum disease treatment varies depending on the severity of the condition. It may involve deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing, gum therapy or even surgical options for advanced cases. Our goal is to remove plaque and tartar, reduce inflammation and restore the health of your gums.

Can gum disease be reversed?
Gum disease can often be reversed if caught early during the gingivitis stage. Proper oral hygiene, regular dental visits and professional cleanings can help restore gum health. Advanced periodontal disease may require more intensive treatment but can still be managed effectively to prevent further progression.
