Periodontology & Gum Care
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile.
Excellence in Periodontology & Gum Care
Periodontology focuses on the health of your gums and the supporting structures of your teeth. Gum disease (periodontitis) is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Our periodontal treatments range from deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to surgical interventions — all aimed at saving your natural teeth and restoring gum health.
What We Offer
Comprehensive treatments and procedures delivered with precision and care.
Scaling & Root Planing
Deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooth root surfaces.
Gum Surgery
Surgical treatment of advanced gum disease to eliminate pockets and restore gum health.
Gum Grafting
Tissue grafting to repair receding gums and cover exposed root surfaces.
Crown Lengthening
Reshaping gum and bone tissue to expose more tooth structure for restorative work.

Common Questions
What are the signs of gum disease?
Common signs include bleeding gums during brushing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. Early treatment prevents tooth loss.
Is deep cleaning painful?
Deep cleaning is performed under local anesthesia and is generally painless. You may experience mild sensitivity for a few days afterward, which is easily managed.
Can gum disease be cured?
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is fully reversible. Advanced periodontitis can be managed and stabilized with treatment, though some bone loss may be permanent.
How often should I have periodontal maintenance?
After periodontal treatment, we recommend maintenance visits every 3-6 months to prevent recurrence and maintain gum health.
