Comprehensive Periodontics at Gateway Dental Care

At Gateway Dental Care, we provide complete periodontal care tailored to your needs. To begin, we carefully examine your gums for signs of inflammation, bleeding, recession, and bone loss. If we detect early-stage gum disease, we often recommend scaling and root planing. This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar beneath the gumline, allowing your gums to heal naturally and effectively.

In more advanced cases, we also offer surgical options and other targeted procedures. Ultimately, our goal is to stop gum disease from progressing and help you keep your natural teeth for as long as possible. Furthermore, we stay up to date with the latest techniques in periodontics to ensure you receive the most effective and comfortable care available.

Education and Prevention Are Key in Periodontics

In addition to treatment, we emphasize prevention and patient education. We’ll show you how to care for your gums at home and explain how your oral health affects your overall well-being. For instance, gum disease can increase your risk of developing systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes. By understanding this important connection, it becomes easier to stay committed to daily dental care and healthy hygiene habits.

What to Watch For

It’s important not to ignore the warning signs. Bleeding gums, tenderness, swelling, or persistent bad breath often indicate a gum problem. Fortunately, by catching these symptoms early, we can treat them before they worsen. If you’re unsure whether you have gum disease, let us take a look and guide you toward the best next steps for your oral health.
