What is Gum & Periodontal Treatment?
Periodontal treatment focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease (periodontitis) and other conditions that affect the gums and bone supporting your teeth. Healthy gums are the foundation for a healthy smile, and we offer comprehensive care to maintain your gum health.
From routine cleanings to advanced gum therapies, our treatments are designed to stop the progression of gum disease, restore gum health, and prevent tooth loss. Early intervention is key to successful periodontal treatment.

Periodontal Treatment Spotlights
Scaling & Root Planing
This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths tooth roots to help gums reattach to teeth. It's the gold standard treatment for early to moderate periodontitis.
- Removes bacterial toxins from root surfaces
- Reduces gum inflammation and pocket depth
- Typically completed in 2-4 visits
Periodontal Maintenance
After active periodontal treatment, regular maintenance cleanings (every 3-4 months) are essential to prevent disease recurrence. These specialized cleanings go beyond routine prophylaxis to maintain gum health.
- Monitors gum health and pocket depths
- Removes new plaque and tartar buildup
