Our Periodontal Services
Periodontal Examinations
We understand that healthy gums are the cornerstone of a radiant smile. Our periodontal examinations are centered around the routine thorough assessment and early detection of gum-related concerns. By proactively identifying and addressing potential issues, we aim to protect your oral health against future complications.
Our dedicated dental hygienists employ the latest in advanced diagnostic technology, ensuring every examination is both precise and comprehensive. This attention to detail allows us to detect even the slightest irregularities in gum health, leading to accurate diagnosis. With these insights, we craft effective, individualized treatment plans, ensuring that your oral care is as unique as your smile.
Periodontal Cleaning
The first step in regaining optimal oral health is periodontal therapy. This therapy, which involves scaling and root planing (sometimes referred to as a “deep cleaning”) is performed with great care by one of our experienced hygienists in order to remove tartar and plaque below the gumline. This will ensure that all root surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and smoothed, significantly reducing the likelihood of future bacterial accumulation. An individualized maintenance schedule is also determined to maintain optimal oral health.
Periodontal Maintenance
Following the periodontal cleanings, we emphasize the importance of regular maintenance as a proactive measure to manage gum disease and protect your overall systemic health. Plaque and tartar can accumulate over time, posing a risk for continued inflammation and worsening of current gum disease if not properly managed. Through this regular maintenance, we are able to monitor your gum health to ensure no relapse of your periodontal status is occurring and address alternative treatment if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Periodontal maintenance is a specialized cleaning procedure for patients who’ve previously had periodontal disease. It prevents recurrence by removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from above and below the gumline. When scheduled more frequently, periodontal maintenance is essential for preserving gum and bone health.
The frequency of periodontal maintenance varies based on individual needs, typically ranging from every 3 to 4 months. Regular intervals are crucial to prevent recurrence of periodontal disease. Your dentist will determine the optimal schedule based on your gum health, plaque accumulation, and other personal factors.
- Swollen, red, or bleeding gums;
- Persistent bad breath;
- Gums receding or pulling away from teeth
- Loose or shifting teeth;
- Painful chewing;
- Pockets forming between teeth and gums.
Early detection and intervention are crucial to prevent irreversible damage. Regular dental check-ups also aid in early diagnosis.
Regular dental cleanings focus on removing plaque and tartar from above the gumline and polishing teeth. On the other hand, periodontal treatment targets infections below the gumline, addressing deep pockets, bone loss, and gum inflammation. It often involves scaling and root planning to clean root surfaces and may require more frequent follow-up visits.
