What is gum disease?

A common condition that’s very treatable early

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a common, progressive condition that affects many adults. It develops in two stages: the early stage, gingivitis, and the advanced stage, periodontitis. Early symptoms are often minor and painless, which is why many people don’t realize they have it.

Caught in the gingivitis stage, gum disease is treatable with improved oral hygiene, professional cleanings, and medicated rinses. Left untreated, it can advance to periodontitis, where infections in the tissues and jawbone can cause bone loss and even tooth loss.

If you notice any signs of gum disease, see us right away. Our board-certified team offers a full range of comprehensive treatments to restore your gum health, and we’re open seven days a week to fit your schedule.

Treatments we offer

Comprehensive care for healthier gums

From gentle deep cleanings to advanced periodontal procedures, we tailor treatment to the stage of your gum disease.

Scaling & Root Planing

A deep cleaning that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the roots to help gums reattach.

Laser Gum Treatment

A precise, minimally invasive way to remove diseased tissue and bacteria with less discomfort and faster healing.

Gingivectomy

Careful removal of diseased or overgrown gum tissue to reduce infection and restore a healthy gumline.

Dental Crown Lengthening

Reshaping gum and bone to expose more of a tooth, for health reasons or to prepare for a restoration.

Pocket Reduction Surgery

Also called osseous surgery, this reduces the deep pockets where bacteria collect, making gums easier to keep clean.

Bone Grafting

Rebuilds bone lost to advanced gum disease, restoring a strong foundation for your teeth or future implants.

Professional Deep Cleanings

Thorough cleanings that clear the plaque and tartar buildup that cause gum disease, and keep it from returning.

Gum Health Maintenance

Ongoing periodontal maintenance visits keep your gums healthy and stop gum disease from coming back.

Know the signs

Gingivitis vs. periodontitis

Gum disease has two stages. Catching it early makes all the difference.

Early stage, gingivitis (treatable):

✓ Reddened gums
✓ Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
✓ Swollen or puffy gums
✓ Persistent bad breath
✓ Minor, often painless symptoms
✓ Reversible with prompt care

Advanced stage, periodontitis:

! Receding gums
! Pus between the teeth and gums
! Visible tooth roots
! Loosened teeth
! Infections in the supporting tissue & jawbone
! Bone loss that can lead to tooth loss

See your dentist right away if you notice any symptoms. Gum disease is caused mostly by plaque and tartar buildup, but family history, diabetes, smoking, certain medications, and hormonal changes can raise your risk. The earlier we catch it, the simpler the treatment, and the better we can protect your teeth and bone.

How it works

Restoring your gum health, step by step

From diagnosis to healthy gums, here’s what to expect.

Exam & diagnosis

We evaluate your gums, measure any pockets, and take X-rays if needed to determine the stage of gum disease.

Deep cleaning

For most patients, scaling and root planing clears bacteria below the gumline and helps your gums heal.

Advanced treatment if needed

For more advanced cases, we may recommend laser therapy, pocket reduction, or bone grafting to restore health.

Ongoing maintenance

Regular periodontal maintenance visits and simple home care keep your gums healthy and prevent recurrence.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about gum disease

Still have questions? Call us, we’re happy to help.

What is gum disease?

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a common, progressive infection of the gums and supporting tissues. It has two stages: gingivitis (early and reversible) and periodontitis (advanced). Because early symptoms are often minor and painless, many people don’t realize they have it, which is why regular checkups matter.

What are the signs of gum disease?

Early signs include red, swollen, or puffy gums, gums that bleed when brushing or flossing, and persistent bad breath. Advanced signs include receding gums, pus between the teeth and gums, visible tooth roots, and loosened teeth. If you notice any of these, see us right away.

What causes gum disease?

In most cases, gum disease is caused by the buildup of bacterial plaque and tartar from poor oral hygiene. Other factors can increase your risk, including family history, diabetes, smoking and tobacco use, certain medications, and hormonal changes from puberty, pregnancy, or menopause.

Is gum disease reversible?

In its early stage (gingivitis), gum disease is treatable and often reversible with improved oral hygiene, professional cleanings, and medicated rinses. Once it advances to periodontitis, it can’t be fully reversed, but it can be managed and controlled with treatment to protect your teeth and bone.

How is gum disease treated?

Treatment depends on the stage. Early gum disease is treated with deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) and better home care. Advanced cases may need laser treatment, gingivectomy, crown lengthening, pocket reduction surgery, or bone grafting. Our board-certified team will recommend the right approach for you.

Does insurance cover gum disease treatment?

Periodontal treatment is often covered by dental insurance. We accept all major PPO plans as well as VA and military insurance, verify your benefits before treatment, and offer flexible financing so you can get the care you need.
