Periodontal Care

Periodontal care is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the health of your gums, which are the foundation for strong, healthy teeth. Maintaining healthy gums is essential for overall oral health, as gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other complications. With advanced treatments and personalized care, periodontal therapy addresses gum issues such as gum disease, inflammation, and recession, ensuring your smile remains strong and vibrant.

Laser Gum Therapy: Laser gum therapy represents a cutting-edge approach to treating gum disease with minimal discomfort and faster recovery times. By using advanced laser technology, this procedure targets and removes infected tissue with precision, reducing the need for traditional scalpel-based surgery. The gentle laser energy also stimulates the gums, promoting healing and reducing the risk of further infection. This innovative treatment is an excellent option for patients seeking effective gum disease treatment with less pain and downtime.

Periodontal Scaling: Periodontal scaling is a deep cleaning procedure designed to treat gum disease by removing plaque and tartar buildup beneath the gumline. While regular cleanings focus on above-the-gumline areas, scaling involves carefully cleaning the deeper pockets where bacteria accumulate. This procedure helps to reduce inflammation and prevent further gum deterioration, promoting healthier gums and preventing tooth loss. Scaling may be recommended for patients with gum disease or those who have significant plaque and tartar buildup.

Gum Disease Management: Managing gum disease requires a comprehensive approach, especially for chronic cases. Treatment plans may include a combination of professional cleaning, scaling, and the use of antibiotics to control infection. In advanced cases, additional therapies such as surgical interventions may be required. Ongoing maintenance visits and proper at-home care are essential to ensure gum health is sustained over time. Your dentist will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and restores optimal gum health.

Prioritize the health of your gums with periodontal care—a key element in maintaining a beautiful, healthy smile for years to come.
