Advanced Gum Therapy Services Offered

We offer a range of targeted treatments to meet your specific gum health needs:

Scaling and Root Planing:
Consider this a deep cleanse for your gums. Our team meticulously removes plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline and smooths out your tooth roots to help your gums reattach and reduce inflammation.
Laser Gum Therapy:
‍For those seeking a high-tech solution, our laser therapy precisely targets and removes diseased gum tissue, promoting faster healing and minimizing discomfort. It’s an innovative approach that gives your gums a fresh start with minimal downtime.
Gum Grafting:
‍If gum recession affects your smile, we can restore your gumline with gum grafting. This procedure transplants healthy tissue to cover exposed roots, safeguarding your teeth and enhancing the appearance of your smile.‍
In-Office Antibiotic Treatment:
Arrestin is an antibiotic used to help manage and treat periodontal disease, particularly in patients with persistent or advanced gum disease or pockets of inflammation or bone loss. Unlike systemic antibiotics taken orally, Arrestin is applied directly to the affected areas of the gums to deliver the medication exactly where it’s needed, minimizing the impact on the rest of the body and focusing the treatment on the infection site.

What Are the Signs I Might Need Gum Therapy?

One of the most common signs is bleeding gums, particularly during brushing or flossing, which often indicates gum inflammation or infection. Another indicator is red, swollen, or tender gums, as healthy gums are usually pink and firm. Gum recession, loose or shifted teeth, and persistent discomfort may indicate the need for gum therapy. Bleeding gums are abnormal; you should contact us as soon as possible to prevent advanced treatment.

How Long Does Gum Therapy Take to Show Results?

Results can vary depending on the severity of your gum condition. Typically, you may start noticing improvements, such as reduced inflammation and less bleeding, within just several days or a week or two after treatment. Over the following months, your gums will continue to heal, reattach to your teeth, and become healthier overall.

Will My Insurance Cover Gum Therapy?

Insurance coverage for gum therapy can vary. Treatments like scaling and root planing are often covered to some extent, but it’s always best to check with your provider. Our team is here to help you navigate your insurance benefits and get the treatment you need.

Can Therapy Reverse Gum Disease?

Gum therapy can significantly improve gum health and prevent further damage but may not fully reverse advanced gum disease. In cases of early-stage gum disease, such as gingivitis, treatments like scaling and root planing can often restore gums to a healthy state. Consistent follow-up care and good oral hygiene practices are essential for maintaining the results.

What Should I Do After Gum Therapy to Maintain Healthy Gums?

We recommend brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing daily, and using an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce bacteria. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential to monitor your gum health and catch any issues early. Additionally, quitting smoking and managing conditions like diabetes can significantly improve your gum health and the longevity of your treatment results.

Is Gum Therapy Painful?

We take every step to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Treatments may cause mild discomfort, but local anesthesia is typically used to numb the area. For more advanced procedures like laser therapy or gum grafting, any post-treatment discomfort is usually minimal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. We also offer sedation options for patients who are particularly anxious about dental procedures.
