Periodontics (Gum Health)
Specialist gum care to treat gingivitis and periodontitis, stop bleeding gums, and protect the foundations of your smile.
Healthy gums are essential for strong teeth. Our periodontal care targets inflammation and infection below the gumline, helping to prevent tooth loss and improve overall oral health.
Signs You May Need Gum Treatment
Bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, or a bad taste can indicate gum disease. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to protecting bone and soft tissues.
Treatment Options
- Comprehensive periodontal assessment and charting
- Non-surgical deep cleaning (root surface debridement)
- Tailored home-care protocols and interdental cleaning plans
- Maintenance therapy to prevent relapse
- Referral for advanced/surgical care when needed
