Gum Disease Treatment
Comprehensive periodontal care that halts gum disease and protects the teeth and bone beneath your smile.
Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection of the gum tissue and bone supporting your teeth. Treatment ranges from deep cleaning and antibiotic therapy to more advanced interventions depending on severity.
A full periodontal evaluation including pocket depth charting is performed. Treatment is staged based on severity and may include deep cleaning, laser bacterial reduction, Arestin therapy, and a personalized maintenance schedule.
Treating gum disease halts bone loss, reduces inflammation, and protects your long-term ability to keep your natural teeth. It also reduces systemic health risks linked to untreated periodontal disease.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about gum disease treatment.
Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, and teeth that feel loose. Early gum disease can be subtle, which is why regular exams matter. Left untreated, it can lead to bone loss and tooth loss. Catching it early makes treatment simpler and more effective.
At Concierge Dental Design, treatment is staged to the severity, starting with a deep cleaning and progressing to therapies like laser bacterial reduction, Arestin, or gum surgery when needed. We begin with a full periodontal evaluation, including pocket-depth charting. Then we build a personalized plan and maintenance schedule. The goal is to halt the disease and protect your teeth.
The earliest stage, gingivitis, can often be reversed with professional cleaning and improved home care. More advanced gum disease can be controlled and stabilized, though lost bone does not grow back on its own. Acting early gives the best chance of full recovery. We will be honest about what your stage allows.
Research links untreated gum disease to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic issues, since the inflammation does not stay confined to the mouth. Treating your gums supports your overall health, not just your smile. This is one reason we take it so seriously. Healthy gums are part of healthy aging.
Yes, most patients move to a more frequent maintenance cleaning schedule to keep gum disease from returning. These periodontal maintenance visits monitor pocket depths and remove buildup before it causes harm. Consistent home care between visits is essential. We will set the right interval based on your response to treatment.
