Expert Periodontal Care for Healthy Gums and Confident Smiles

A Healthy Smile Depends on Your Gums
Healthy gums are crucial for supporting your jawbone and teeth while acting as a protective barrier against harmful bacteria. However, insufficient oral hygiene can lead to plaque buildup on teeth, which, when hardened into tartar, releases toxins that infect gum tissue. Despite being often undetected, gum disease is progressive and can wreak havoc on gum tissue, bone, and teeth.
If you experience tender or bleeding gums while brushing and flossing, it could signal gum infection and inflammation, necessitating prompt treatment to safeguard your oral health. Don’t hesitate to schedule healing gum disease treatment in Mesa, AZ.

Our Gum Disease Treatments
Periodontal maintenance is designed to keep gum disease under control after initial treatment. It involves regular cleanings, usually every 3 to 4 months, to remove plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline and prevent the recurrence of gum disease.
These appointments also include monitoring the health of the gums and checking for any signs of infection or bone loss. Consistent periodontal maintenance is crucial for maintaining long-term oral health, preventing tooth loss, and preserving the results of previous periodontal treatments.
Laser gum disease treatment is a minimally invasive option that uses focused laser light to remove infected tissue and reduce inflammation. The laser targets bacteria within the gum pockets while preserving healthy tissue, promoting faster healing and reduced discomfort.
This treatment also stimulates tissue regeneration, helping gums reattach to the teeth and improve overall oral health. Laser therapy can be an effective alternative to traditional surgical methods, providing patients with a quicker recovery and less downtime.
