Periodontal Therapy

Gum disease rarely starts with pain — it's more often bleeding when you brush, gums that look slightly redder or puffier than usual, or a bit of recession you might not even notice happening.

A periodontist specializes specifically in preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease, with up to three additional years of training beyond general dentistry — care calibrated to how far the condition has progressed, from a deeper clean to more involved gum treatment.

Caught early, gum disease is very manageable. Left untreated, it's a leading cause of adult tooth loss — which is why we treat a gum checkup as seriously as a checkup for your teeth.
