Periodontal Care

Because Healthy Gums Matter

Many patients don’t realize that gum health affects your whole body - from your heart to your diabetes control. When we care for your gums, we’re actually caring for your overall health. That’s why I take gum care so seriously.

Periodontal Care

Because Healthy Gums Matter

Beyond the mouth!

Gum disease (also called periodontal disease) doesn’t just affect your mouth — it can affect your whole body. Here are some of the health effects.

Heart Disease Risk: The bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream and increase the risk of heart attacks or strokes.
Diabetic Complications: Gum disease makes it harder to control blood sugar, and high sugar levels can make gum disease worse — a bad cycle.
Inflammation Everywhere: Gum disease causes inflammation, which can affect joints (arthritis), lungs, and more.

Signs Your Gums Need Attention

Gum problems often go unnoticed—until they lead to bigger issues like tooth loss or chronic bad breath. We help you spot the early warning signs so you can get timely care and protect your smile for life. You might need periodontal care if you’re experiencing:

Bleeding while brushing or flossing?
Red, puffy, or tender gums?
Bad breath that won’t go away?
Gums pulling away from teeth?
Loose teeth or changing bite?
Food getting stuck in new places?

Scaling and Root Planing: Deep cleaning for your Gums

When brushing and flossing aren’t enough to keep gum disease at bay, scaling and root planing steps in as your gum’s ultimate reset button. This non-surgical deep cleaning targets stubborn plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line, giving your gums the clean slate they need to heal and thrive. Think of it as a spa day for your gums! This thorough cleaning:.

Removes hidden tartar below the gum line
Smooths root surfaces to prevent bacteria buildup
Helps gums reattach to teeth
Creates a healthy environment for healing
Complements your regular Preventive Care

Laser Gum Therapy: Modern Solutions for Gum Disease

When it comes to treating gum disease, precision and comfort matter. Our advanced laser technology allows us to gently target infected tissue, reduce inflammation, and stimulate healing—all with minimal discomfort. It’s a modern, stitch-free approach that delivers powerful results while keeping your recovery smooth and simple. Our gentle laser treatments:

Target problem areas with precision
Promote faster healing
Cause minimal discomfort
Reduce bleeding and swelling
Often require no stitches

Crown Lengthening: Reshaping for Health and Beauty

Whether you’re enhancing your smile or preparing for a dental restoration, crown lengthening helps us carefully reshape the gum line for both function and aesthetics. By revealing more of your natural tooth, this precise procedure supports long-term oral health while bringing balance and symmetry to your smile. Sometimes we need to adjust the gum line to

Create a more balanced smile
Make room for Restorative Work
Fix a “gummy” smile
Improve access for cleaning
Enable better Cosmetic Results

Gum and Bone Grafting: Rebuilding Your Foundation

Healthy gums and bone are essential for a strong, lasting smile. When recession or bone loss occurs, grafting allows us to restore what’s been lost—improving support for teeth, implants, and future orthodontic care. These advanced procedures rebuild your smile’s foundation, protect vulnerable areas, and pave the way for long-term oral health. When needed, we can:

Replace lost gum tissue
Strengthen thin gums
Support dental implants
Protect exposed roots
Prepare for Orthodontic Treatment
