Our Periodontal Services
Learn More About Gum Disease
Periodontal disease begins when bacteria build up around the gums, causing inflammation that can progress without early care. Our team identifies changes quickly and offers comfortable treatment to protect your smile.
Scaling and Root Planning
Scaling and root planning gently remove harmful plaque and bacteria beneath the gumline. This deep cleaning treatment helps calm inflammation and encourages your gums to reattach more securely around each tooth.
Arestin®
Even with regular brushing and flossing, bacteria can build up in deep gum pockets, leading to infection and inflammation.
Our team uses Arestin® after your scaling and root planning, which works right where it’s needed to reduce bacteria, support healing, and keep your gums healthy for the long term.
