Gum Disease Treatment

Comprehensive periodontal care to restore your gum health and protect your smile. Expert treatment for all stages of gum disease from gingivitis to advanced periodontitis.

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It's typically caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—to build up on the teeth and harden. Advanced gum disease can lead to sore, bleeding gums, painful chewing problems, and even tooth loss.
