Your gums play a pivotal role in the success and longevity of your smile. Not only do they hold your teeth in place, but they protect the most sensitive parts – the roots. When attacked by bad bacteria, gums can become inflamed and begin to bleed. Without timely care, your teeth can suffer as well as your overall health. Give us a call to learn how our options for gum disease treatment can restore your gums to better health and ensure the future of your smile.

Scaling & Root Planing

Removing plaque and tartar that has accumulated along the gumline is the first step to treating gum disease. Knowing as scaling, it is performed before root planing, a process in which our team smooths the tooth roots to encourage proper healing and reattachment between your gums and teeth. Completed during the earlier stages of gum disease, it can help to minimize the potential risk of bone and tooth loss.

Laser Periodontal Therapy

Bacteria can often burrow into the smallest crevices of the mouth, making it hard for even some of the most sophisticated dental instruments to reach. With laser periodontal therapy, though, we can target pockets of bad bacteria and eliminate them without touching healthy tissue. This not only improves the health of your gums but also allows for a more thorough and precise method of treatment that is proven to reduce recovery time compared to older methods.
