The Importance of Treating Gum Disease

Gum disease doesn’t just affect your mouth—it can impact your overall health as well. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to:

  • Tooth Loss: Advanced gum disease can cause the supporting structures of your teeth, including the bone, to deteriorate, leading to tooth loss.
  • Increased Risk of Systemic Health Issues: Research shows a connection between gum disease and systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Treating gum disease helps protect your overall health.
  • Bone Loss: Untreated gum disease can result in the loss of bone around the teeth, making it difficult to maintain a healthy smile or receive restorative treatments like dental implants.

At Espire Dental Longmont, we believe that a proactive approach to gum health is essential. Whether you need preventive care or advanced periodontal treatment, our team is here to provide the personalized care you need to protect your smile.

Is gum therapy painful?

We use local anesthesia during most gum therapy procedures to ensure your comfort. You may experience some mild soreness or sensitivity after treatment, but this typically subsides within a few days.

How long does gum therapy take?

The length of your treatment will depend on the severity of your gum disease and the type of therapy required. Deep cleanings can often be completed in one or two visits, while surgical procedures may require additional time for healing.

Can gum disease be reversed?

In its early stages (gingivitis), gum disease can be reversed with professional treatment and good oral hygiene. However, more advanced gum disease (periodontitis) requires ongoing management to prevent further damage.

Will my gums grow back after treatment?

In some cases, gum tissue can regenerate after treatment. However, advanced gum recession may require surgical intervention, such as gum grafting, to restore the gumline.

How often do I need to come in for gum therapy?

The frequency of your visits will depend on the severity of your gum disease and your response to treatment. We may recommend more frequent cleanings and checkups to monitor your progress and prevent further issues.

How much does gum therapy cost?

The cost of gum therapy varies depending on the extent of the treatment needed. We’ll provide a detailed estimate during your consultation and discuss available payment options.
