Gum Treatment

Gum disease often starts quietly — some bleeding when you brush, slightly puffy gums — and gets much harder to treat the longer it's left. Gum treatment stops it early, or manages it where it's more advanced.

What to expect

How the process works.

01

Periodontal Assessment

Gums are checked for bleeding, swelling, and pocket depth around each tooth to gauge how advanced things are.

02

Scaling & Root Planing

A deep clean below the gumline removes the plaque and tartar buildup that causes inflammation, smoothing root surfaces so gums can reattach.

03

Antimicrobial Care

Where infection is more active, targeted antimicrobial treatment helps bring it under control alongside the deep clean.

04

Gum Surgery (if needed)

For more advanced periodontitis, minor surgical procedures can reduce pocket depth and support healthier gum tissue long-term.

05

Maintenance Visits

Gum disease doesn't fully "cure" — it's managed with more frequent cleanings afterward to keep it from returning.
