We understand the importance of healthy gums in maintaining your overall oral health. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a progressive condition that affects the soft tissues and bones supporting your teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as gum recession, tooth loss, and even systemic health concerns. We are here to provide comprehensive gum disease treatments designed to protect and restore your smile.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria along the gumline. It begins with gingivitis, an early stage that causes red, swollen or bleeding gums. Without intervention, it can progress to periodontitis, which damages the gums and underlying bone structure. Recognizing the symptoms early, such as persistent bad breath, gum tenderness or loose teeth, is essential to prevent long-term effects.
Our approach focuses on early detection and personalized care. We work with you to identify the best course of treatment based on the severity of your condition. Our goal is to halt the progression of the disease and restore the health of your gums.
