Available Treatments
Deep Cleaning & Scaling
Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) removes tartar and bacteria from below the gum line and smooths root surfaces. It's the first-line treatment for gum disease and prevents progression to more severe stages.
Root Planing
Root planing smooths the root surfaces of teeth to remove bacterial toxins and create a clean surface for gum tissue to reattach. It's typically performed alongside deep cleaning for comprehensive periodontal treatment.
Gum Graft Surgery
Gum graft surgery covers exposed tooth roots by transplanting gum tissue from another area of the mouth. It treats gum recession, reduces sensitivity, and prevents further recession.
Pocket Reduction Surgery
Pocket reduction surgery (flap surgery) reduces the depth of periodontal pockets by folding back the gum tissue, removing bacteria, and securing the tissue snugly against the tooth.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening removes excess gum tissue and sometimes bone to expose more tooth structure. It's done for both functional reasons (to support a dental crown) and cosmetic purposes (to correct a gummy smile).
Dental Laser Treatment
Dental laser treatment uses focused light energy for precise gum tissue procedures. It offers less bleeding, faster healing, and increased comfort compared to traditional surgical methods.
