Gum care and periodontal therapy

Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, and it's often painless. Treating it early protects your teeth and your implants.

Is it right for you?

  • Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
  • Bad breath that doesn't go away
  • Gums pulling away from the teeth
  • Teeth that feel loose

What to expect

  1. Gum measurementsWe measure the pockets around each tooth and take x-rays.
  2. Deep cleaningScaling and root planing removes tartar below the gumline, one section at a time, with numbing.
  3. MaintenanceCleanings every three to four months keep the disease under control.

Our dentists are general dentists who provide this treatment in our office. Treatment recommendations follow an exam.

“Honestly I was scared to get a deep cleaning as it had hurt before , but with Alexa I didn’t not feel anything during or after the cleaning. Alexa made me feel very comfortable.”
