Maintain Attractive Gums With Our Treatment

Treating gum disease early prevents more serious dental problems and protects your overall health. Our gentle approach to gum disease therapy focuses on your comfort while effectively treating the condition. Before beginning, we will thoroughly numb the treatment area with a local anesthetic to ensure you don’t feel any discomfort. We also provide soft pillows, cozy blankets, and stress balls to help you feel at ease.

Nonsurgical gum treatments we offer include:

  • Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning) – This thorough cleaning procedure goes below the gumline to remove stubborn tartar and smooth rough spots on tooth roots where bacteria tend to collect.
  • Laser-Assisted Scaling and Root Planing – Our advanced laser technology targets diseased tissue while leaving healthy tissue untouched. This promotes faster healing and greater comfort.
  • Antibacterial Irrigation – This specialized treatment flushes medication deep into the pockets between your teeth and gums, eliminating harmful bacteria and supporting the natural healing process.

Most patients require two to four appointments to complete their gum treatment, with each visit focusing on a different section of the mouth. Your dentist will carefully monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Follow-up visits will help ensure your gums are healing properly and allow us to provide additional care if necessary.
