Gum disease is a serious oral health condition that affects nearly half of adults over 30. If left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and even systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes. At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we offer a comprehensive range of gum disease treatments, ensuring that every patient receives personalized, effective care based on their needs.
If you’re experiencing bleeding gums, bad breath, gum sensitivity, or receding gums, our expert team at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics is here to help you restore and maintain optimal gum health.
Understanding Gum Disease: Why Early Treatment Matters
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, occurs when plaque and bacteria build up along the gumline, leading to inflammation, infection, and eventual damage to the supporting structures of your teeth.
Stages of Gum Disease
- Gingivitis (Early Stage) – Mild inflammation, redness, and occasional bleeding when brushing or flossing. This stage is reversible with professional treatment and proper home care.
- Periodontitis (Moderate to Advanced Gum Disease) – Gums begin to pull away from the teeth, creating deep pockets where bacteria thrive. If untreated, this can lead to bone loss, loose teeth, and even tooth loss.
At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we provide state-of-the-art treatment options to halt the progression of gum disease and restore gum health.
Comprehensive Gum Disease Treatment Options at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics
Professional Deep Cleanings & Scaling and Root Planing (SRP)
For patients in the early stages of gum disease, Think Oral Implants and Periodontics offers scaling and root planing (SRP), a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline.
This treatment gently cleans deep gum pockets, smooths tooth roots to help gums reattach, and reduces inflammation to prevent further damage.
LANAP Laser Gum Therapy – A Minimally Invasive Solution
For moderate to severe gum disease, Think Oral Implants and Periodontics offers LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure), a cutting-edge, minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery.
LANAP removes infected gum tissue with laser precision, kills bacteria deep in gum pockets without cutting or sutures, stimulates natural healing and tissue regeneration, and minimizes pain, swelling, and recovery time.
This is an ideal treatment for patients who want an effective, pain-free option for gum disease.
Antibacterial Therapy & Perio Protect
At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we take a preventative approach to gum disease. Perio Protect is a customized, at-home treatment that uses medicated trays to deliver antibacterial gel deep below the gumline.
This treatment kills harmful bacteria where brushing and flossing can’t reach, reduces inflammation and infection, and helps maintain long-term gum health between dental visits.
Gum Grafting for Receding Gums
Gum recession is a common consequence of untreated gum disease, exposing the sensitive roots of your teeth and increasing the risk of decay and tooth loss. Think Oral Implants and Periodontics specializes in gum grafting procedures to restore lost gum tissue and protect your teeth.
This procedure uses your own tissue or donor grafts to rebuild the gumline, covers exposed tooth roots to reduce sensitivity, and enhances the appearance of your smile.
Bone Grafting & Regenerative Procedures
In advanced cases of periodontitis, gum disease can cause jawbone loss, making it difficult to support natural teeth or dental implants. Think Oral Implants and Periodontics provides advanced bone regeneration techniques, including:
- Bone grafting to restore lost bone mass and create a strong foundation for teeth and implants.
- Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) to encourage natural bone regrowth by placing protective membranes over affected areas.
These regenerative procedures help strengthen the jaw and prevent further deterioration.
Pocket Reduction Surgery (Osseous Surgery)
For severe gum disease, deep gum pockets make it nearly impossible to keep bacteria under control. Think Oral Implants and Periodontics offers pocket reduction surgery to reduce the depth of gum pockets, remove stubborn plaque and tartar buildup, and prevent further infection and bone loss.
This surgical intervention is sometimes necessary to save natural teeth and restore gum health.
Ongoing Maintenance & Personalized Periodontal Care Plans
At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we believe that long-term success depends on ongoing care. That’s why we offer:
- Personalized home care instructions
- Regular follow-up visits to monitor gum health
- Professional cleanings to prevent reinfection
Our goal is to help you maintain strong, healthy gums for life.
