Periodontal Therapy

Gum disease is an infection that impacts the majority of adults in the United States.  If you notice your gums are inflamed or bleeding, discover a tooth is loose or has been lost or find you have halitosis, be proactive by reaching out to our dental practice for assistance.  Our periodontal therapy, highlighted by scaling and root planing, removes calculus and plaque from beneath the gum line to thwart bacteria that has the potential to spur tooth and bone loss. 

Deep cleaning procedures performed with soft tissue lasers are comparably less invasive than other approaches yet prove highly effective.  The laser highlights areas for treatment to minimize any potential harm to healthy gums, stimulating a recovery process that culminates in the development of healthy tissue.  Perio protection methods are also available in which treatments are delivered to areas that otherwise could not be contacted with floss or a toothbrush.  The use of personalized medication delivery trays to gum pockets to eliminate bacteria provides a fresh cleansing, a whiter smile and more pleasant-smelling breath.
