Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection that affects the tissues and structures surrounding your teeth. It often begins with gingivitis, which presents as redness, swelling, or bleeding gums. If left untreated, it can escalate into periodontitis, a more serious condition where bacteria affect the bone and connective tissues supporting your teeth.

Though plaque buildup is the main cause, other risk factors, such as genetics, smoking, poor oral hygiene, stress, diabetes, and hormonal changes, can increase your likelihood of developing gum problems. Catching it early makes treatment much easier and more effective.

Recognizing gum disease in its early stages can help prevent more serious dental issues later on. Here are some common signs to watch for:

Our team provides a range of modern periodontal solutions tailored to your condition:

Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)

We clean below the gumline to remove harmful plaque and tartar. Smoothing the root surface helps your gums reattach and heal naturally.

Laser-Assisted Gum Therapy

This minimally invasive technique targets and removes infected tissue with greater accuracy, helping speed up recovery and reduce discomfort.

Gum Tissue Grafting

In cases of gum recession, we can place grafted tissue to restore coverage and protect exposed roots.

Bone Regeneration

When bone loss has occurred, we use regenerative materials and methods to stimulate bone growth and restore strength to the jaw.

Pocket Reduction Surgery

This surgical approach reduces the depth of infected gum pockets, making it easier to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy.

Ongoing Maintenance

After treatment, we provide regular cleanings, checkups, and guidance to prevent gum disease from returning.
