Advanced Approaches to Gum Disease Treatment

Dental Care

The treatment approach for gum disease varies based on its severity, how well previous treatments have worked, and your overall health. From non-invasive procedures to surgical interventions aimed at restoring the gum tissues, we offer a range of options to address gum disease at every stage.

 

Non-Surgical Treatments for Gum Disease

  1. Professional Dental Cleanings
    During routine dental visits, your dentist or hygienist will remove plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gum line. If early signs of gum disease are present, your dentist may recommend more frequent professional cleanings to help control the condition.
  2. Scaling and Root Planing
    Scaling and root planing is a more in-depth, non-surgical treatment that helps eliminate plaque and tartar below the gum line. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. The process involves cleaning the tooth surface and smoothing out rough patches on the tooth roots, which helps the gums reattach to the teeth and reduces the risk of further infection.
