Healthy gums are the foundation of every healthy mouth
Gum disease is the #1 cause of adult tooth loss — and it's been linked to heart disease, diabetes complications and pregnancy complications. It also tends to be silent until it's advanced.
We measure your gums at every visit so we catch problems early. When we find disease, we treat it — and we work with you on the home-care habits that keep it from coming back.
The benefits, plainly explained
Your treatment, step by step
Periodontal exam
Pocket depths, bleeding points, recession, mobility and x-rays of bone level.
Diagnosis and plan
We explain the staging, show you what's going on and lay out treatment options.
Scaling and root planing
Deep cleaning below the gumline — usually one quadrant per visit, with numbing.
Reassess and maintain
Six weeks later we re-measure; if it's better, we move to maintenance recalls.
Common questions
How do I know if I have gum disease?+
Bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession or teeth that feel loose are all signs. But many people have no symptoms — which is why we screen everyone at every visit.
Can gum disease be reversed?+
Gingivitis (early stage) — yes, completely. Periodontitis (advanced) — we can stop progression, but lost bone doesn't come back. Early treatment matters.
How often will I need maintenance cleanings?+
Most periodontal patients move from a 6-month to a 3–4 month recall schedule. It keeps the bacterial load down and prevents recurrence.
