Periodontal disease encompasses a range of gum diseases, from gingivitis to periodontitis, caused by bacteria in dental plaque. If plaque is not removed regularly, it leads to gingivitis—characterized by red, swollen gums—which can be reversed with proper oral care and professional cleaning. Without treatment, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, where bacteria multiply and produce toxins, resulting in bone and tissue destruction, potentially leading to tooth loss. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory condition requiring ongoing treatment and management.
Risk factors for periodontitis include age, stress, genetics, smoking, and systemic diseases. Symptoms may not always include bleeding or pain, making yearly periodontal examinations essential for early detection and prevention.

Peri-Implant Disease is avoidable and treatable if detected early. Early diagnosis can help save an infected implant and regenerate lost bone and tissue. Treatment typically involves surgical debridement, disinfection, bone and gum regeneration, antibiotics, deep cleaning, or laser therapy.

Scaling and Root Planing treats early gum disease by removing plaque, calculus, and bacteria — promoting healing and reducing pockets with minimal discomfort over a few sessions.

Guided Bone Regeneration (GTR) treats bone loss from gum disease and prepares the jaw for implants. After cleaning, a membrane is placed to block soft tissue, allowing bone to regenerate. This helps stabilize teeth and supports future implant placement.

Crown Lengthening exposes more of the tooth by removing excess gum and bone.
It’s done to repair damage below the gum line or to correct a gummy smile — restoring function and enhancing aesthetics, often with same-day, painless results.

Gum Tissue Grafting treats gum recession, which can cause sensitivity, looseness, or tooth loss. Tissue from the roof of the mouth or a donor is used to restore and strengthen the gum line. Grafting is typically recommended for recession over 2mm, especially to protect front teeth and enhance the smile.
