At Espire Dental Casper, we believe that a beautiful smile starts with healthy gums. While brushing and flossing are essential for good oral health, sometimes your gums need a little extra care. That’s where gum therapy comes in.

Conveniently located near East Ridge Mall and Downtown Casper, our practice offers advanced gum care for patients of all ages. Our compassionate team, led by Dr. Andrew Waring and Dr. Larissa Tolley, is here to help you understand the importance of gum health and provide the best possible care to keep your smile shining.
Your gums are the foundation of your smile, and when they’re not healthy, it can affect more than just your mouth. Gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) is a common condition that can lead to serious issues like tooth loss and infections and even contribute to overall health problems like heart disease and diabetes if left untreated.
Signs you may need gum therapy include:
If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, don’t worry—Espire Dental Casper is here to help! Our gum therapy treatments can stop the progression of gum disease, reverse early damage, and restore your gums to optimal health.
Gum therapy, also known as periodontal therapy, is a series of treatments designed to treat gum disease and improve gum health. The specific treatment depends on the severity of the condition, but our goal is always to remove the bacteria causing the infection and promote healing in the gum tissue. Our experienced team will work closely with you to create a personalized care plan that addresses your specific concerns and helps you maintain a healthy, long-lasting smile.
Gum therapy benefits anyone experiencing the early stages of gum disease and those with more advanced conditions. Many people may not realize they have gum disease because it can develop without pain. That’s why routine dental checkups are so important—early detection of gum disease makes treatment more effective and less invasive.
If left untreated, gum disease can progress to more severe stages, leading to tooth loss or even surgery. At Espire Dental Casper, we emphasize early intervention to prevent these outcomes and keep your gums as healthy as possible.
Taking care of your gums through therapy is about more than just improving your smile—it’s about protecting your overall health. Gum disease has been linked to numerous health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, making it even more important to maintain healthy gums. Primary benefits of gum therapy include:
You can protect your teeth and whole body by addressing gum health early with the right treatments. Our dentists, Dr. Waring and Dr. Tolley, are known for their gentle touch and patient-first approach. They’ll make sure you feel comfortable and informed throughout your treatment.
Gum therapy is designed to be as comfortable as possible. We offer local anesthesia to numb the area during deeper cleanings or treatments, so you’ll feel minimal discomfort.
The length of your treatment depends on the severity of your gum disease. A single scaling and root planing appointment may take one to two hours, while more advanced cases may require multiple visits.
In its early stages (gingivitis), gum disease can often be reversed with proper treatment and improved oral hygiene. Treatment can manage the condition and prevent further damage in more advanced cases.
After your initial therapy, we may recommend more frequent cleanings every 3-4 months to maintain the health of your gums and prevent the disease from returning.
Gum disease isn’t contagious, but the bacteria that cause it can spread through saliva. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits is essential to avoid sharing harmful bacteria.
Yes! Research has shown that gum disease is linked to several systemic health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes. Treating gum disease can lower inflammation and reduce your risk of these issues.
Your gums play a critical role in your overall oral health. Don’t wait until gum disease progresses—take action today to keep your gums and smile healthy for life.
