Understanding Gum Disease

Periodontal disease, which we also know as gum disease, is a common condition that affects your gums and the bone supporting your teeth. It's usually caused by a buildup of plaque and, if left untreated, it can lead to serious dental problems.

Signs You May Have Gum Disease

• Bleeding gums are an early sign of this disease.
• Swollen, red, and inflamed gums.
• Persistently bad breath.
• Weakened bone that has led to tooth loss.
• Receding gums that are exposing your tooth’s roots.

How We’ll Make Your Smile Healthier Smile

1. Scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and roots.
2. Gum grafting to help cover exposed root surfaces and reduce sensitivity.
3. Bone grafting to help regenerate bone that’s lost because of gum disease.
4. Flap surgery to lift tissue and remove built-up plaque and tartar under your gum line.

Why Should You Choose Periodontal Treatment?

Addressing gum disease does more than improve your oral health, it can also reduce your risk of other serious conditions like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. A healthy mouth can also help you sustain fewer cavities which will save you time and money in the long run. And, perhaps most importantly, the beautiful smile that follows this treatment is bound to give your self-esteem a boost!
