Save Your Gums With Personal Care

Most gum disease develops without any noticeable symptoms until damage occurs. We find and treat problems early with care that stops infection, makes you feel better, and preserves your gum health for the long term.

Periodontal Maintenance

Custom cleanings keep gum disease away and prevent future problems. We design each visit around what your gums need most.

Detect & Prevent

Regular checkups catch gum issues while they're small and simple to treat. We stop problems before they damage your teeth or health.

Deep Cleaning

Scaling and root planing remove plaque and bacteria hiding below your gumline. Your gums can then heal and reattach to your teeth properly.

Receive Comfortable Periodontal Treatment

At our general dental practice, your oral health is a top priority. Dr. Paul Lee invests in the latest technology to detect and treat gum disease as early and easily as possible. During your checkup, we use our advanced photo studio and digital X-rays to detect oral health concerns you won't notice on your own at home.

However, even if it's been a while since your last visit, and you've spotted symptoms on your own, we can help you regain your healthy smile. Depending on the extent of your gum disease, your dentist may recommend:

  • Scaling and Root Planing - This deep cleaning procedure removes tartar and plaque underneath and around your gumline, to eliminate the infection. We'll also smooth out your tooth roots to prevent any future occurrence of the disease.
  • Laser Treatments - We may also combine your deep cleaning with laser treatments. It's a minimally invasive way to target diseased gum tissue, eradicate bacteria, and leave you with a healthy smile.

Dr. Lee may recommend that you visit us more frequently for ongoing deep cleanings. They ensure your smile stays healthy, and help you avoid long-term consequences of gum disease. We keep our cleanings as comfortable as possible, but you have the option of receiving laughing gas if you're nervous or worried about discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About Non-Surgical Gum Disease Treatment

What is non-surgical gum disease treatment?
Gum disease treatment is designed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around and under your gumline. Your hygienist or dentist will use special instruments to carefully get your gums back into shape, or they will use a gentle laser to remove damaged gum tissue and seal your gums back at the same time.
Can you cure gum disease at home?
No, you can't cure gum disease at home - not even in its early stages. Gum disease is caused when bacteria-filled plaque and tartar build up in the area between your teeth and gums. This area can't be reached with a toothbrush or floss. Using special equipment, your dental team removes the bacteria from this area and then smooths your tooth roots to make it difficult for more bacteria to accumulate. We may also use laser treatments, depending on the extent of the infection.
What are gum disease symptoms?
One symptom that many people notice is gums that bleed when brushing. Other symptoms include gums that look swollen and/or bright red, gums that feel tender, and bad breath that won't go away. It's important to seek attention right away when you notice these symptoms. As with many dental problems, it is easier and less expensive to treat gum disease in its early stages.
