Whether you’re experiencing early signs of gingivitis or more advanced periodontitis, we’re here with customized treatment plans and long-term support to restore your oral wellness.
Gum disease (also called periodontal disease) is an infection of the gum tissues that support your teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss—without always causing pain. That’s why early detection and treatment are key.
The earliest stage and the only one that’s reversible. Symptoms include bleeding gums, redness, swelling, and sensitivity. With regular cleanings and better home care, gingivitis can be eliminated.
At this stage, bacteria begin to create pockets between the teeth and gums. It’s no longer reversible, but professional treatment like scaling and root planing (deep cleanings) can stop its progression.
This severe stage affects the bone supporting your teeth. Without treatment, it can lead to tooth loss and jawbone deterioration. Surgical intervention is often needed.
Removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gum line. This non-surgical treatment is essential for stopping the infection and preventing further damage.
Reshapes and recontours the gums to improve appearance and function, especially after treating gum disease.
For deep pockets, flap surgery allows us to clean under the gums thoroughly and reposition the tissue to promote healing and reduce pocket depth.
Restores bone lost to infection, supporting remaining teeth and preparing the jaw for implants if needed.
Exposes more natural tooth structure by adjusting the gum line. This is useful for both restorative work and cosmetic enhancements.
