Our practice provides several effective treatments to combat gum disease. Traditional scaling and root planing gently removes plaque and tartar below the gumline, while our advanced laser-assisted option provides enhanced precision and comfort. Both treatments smooth root surfaces to help prevent bacteria from reoccurring.
For the best results, we may combine these treatments with topical antibiotics that target stubborn infection. We also use antibacterial irrigation to flush away harmful bacteria and promote healing.
This comprehensive approach helps ensure that your gums stay healthy long after treatment is complete.
We want you to feel completely comfortable during your gum treatment. That’s why we offer inhaled sedation with laughing gas, a gentle option that helps you relax throughout your procedure and wears off quickly afterward. You’ll remain awake but feel calm and at ease.
For patients who need deeper relaxation, we provide oral conscious sedation in pill form. This safe medication helps you enter a dream-like state while remaining responsive. You may have little memory of your treatment once it’s over. Both sedation options are administered by our experienced team . We’ll monitor you throughout your gum treatment.

Nonsurgical 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. We may also use antibiotics in your treatment plan.
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that builds up around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating pockets where more bacteria accumulate. In advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and potentially fall out.
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 all the bacteria from this area and then smooths your tooth roots to make it difficult for more bacteria to accumulate.
