Explore Your Periodontal Treatment Options

Periodontal care covers treatments that address gum disease, protect supporting bone, improve gum health, and prepare you for future restorative care. Your periodontist recommends treatments based on your diagnosis, symptoms, and long-term oral health goals.

Taking care of your gum and bone health can protect your entire well-being. Keeping bacteria out of your gumline can safeguard your body against it. Untreated gum disease can increase your risk of serious health issues such as heart disease, stroke, and other systemic concerns.

You can visit us for:

  • Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy – Often the first step in treating gum disease, this treatment removes harmful bacteria and buildup beneath the gumline. We will reduce inflammation and encourage your gums to heal.
  • Pocket Reduction Surgery – When deep periodontal pockets remain after non-surgical treatment, pocket reduction surgery decreases the space where bacteria can collect. It allows the gums to fit more securely around the teeth.
  • Periodontal Laser Therapy – Laser-assisted treatment targets infected tissue and bacteria while promoting healing. This minimally invasive approach may be combined with other treatments for thorough results.
  • Refractory or Recurrent Periodontitis Treatment – Some forms of gum disease continue to progress or return despite previous care. We’ll develop an effective management plan to prevent future infections.
  • Soft Tissue Augmentation – Soft tissue procedures improve the appearance of gum tissue. You’ll achieve a healthier and more balanced smile. You’ll feel better about how your smile looks and feels.
  • Crown Lengthening – Crown lengthening reshapes gum and supporting tissue to expose more of your tooth structure. It’s often recommended in preparation for restorative or cosmetic improvements.

During your consultation, our team will perform a comprehensive periodontal exam. We will discuss which treatment options suit your needs and what’s involved. If you feel nervous, ask about our sedation options to put your mind at ease.
