Enjoy Healthy Gums With Our Treatment
Understanding your treatment options is an important step toward better gum health. We offer several effective nonsurgical treatments for gum disease, all designed to bring comfort and health back to your smile.
Our gum treatments include:
- Traditional Scaling and Root Planing – This deep-cleaning procedure removes harmful bacteria and tartar from both above and below your gumline. It also smoothes out rough spots on your tooth roots where bacteria like to hide.
- Laser-Assisted Scaling and Root Planing – Using advanced laser technology, your dentist can remove infected tissue and harmful bacteria more precisely. This results in less discomfort and faster healing.
- Topical Antibiotics – We can place special antibiotics directly into the pockets around your teeth. This helps fight infection and promote healing right where it’s needed most.
- Antibacterial Irrigation – This treatment flushes out bacteria and debris from deep within your gum pockets using a specialized solution that helps prevent infection and speeds up healing.
Your comfort is our priority. Our patient care rooms are equipped with soft pillows, cozy blankets, and TVs to make your visit as pleasant as possible. We also offer sedation options to help you overcome any anxiety you may have about your treatment.
Once your gums are healthy, it’s more important than ever that you see us for regular exams and cleanings to keep them that way.

Common Questions About Nonsurgical Gum Disease Treatment
-
Gum disease treatment is designed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around and under your gumline. Your hygienist or dentist will use special instruments to carefully get your gums back into shape, or they will use a gentle laser to remove damaged gum tissue and seal your gums back at the same time. We may also recommend antibiotic therapy to get your gums healthy.
-
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that builds up around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating pockets where more bacteria accumulate. In advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and potentially fall out.
-
No, you can’t cure gum disease at home – not even in its early stages. Gum disease is caused when bacteria-filled plaque and tartar build up in the area between your teeth and gums. This area can’t be reached with a toothbrush or floss. Using special equipment, your dental team removes all bacteria from this area and then smooths your tooth roots to make it difficult for more bacteria to accumulate.
