Visit Our Experts To Keep Your Gums Healthy
We have a board-certified periodontist on staff, a dentist who specializes in treating gum-related problems. You can feel good about coming to see us if you have gum disease or some other issue with your gums.
If we find evidence of gum disease, then we will most likely recommend a therapeutic service known as scaling and root planing (also called “deep cleaning”). Your dentist will:
- Offer you sedation if you’re nervous about your procedure
- Use a special instrument called a scaler to gently remove built-up plaque, tartar, and bacteria around and below the gumline
- Plane (smooth) your teeth roots so that bacteria have a harder time re-collecting there
- If possible, perform laser treatment instead to safely remove damaged gum tissue without any cutting or stitches
If significant gum disease has caused your gums to recede, we can also perform gum recession treatment. This could be in the form of a gum graft or using the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (done at our Calallen location). These treatments can restore your lost gum tissue and give you back a beautiful gumline.
