Gum Disease Therapy

Halting the Progression of Gum Disease for a Strong, Comfortable Smile

Recent studies indicate that up to 80% of the population has some form of periodontal disease, commonly called gum disease. Left untreated, gum disease can destroy your oral health and contribute to an increased risk for stroke, heart disease, and pregnancy complication. Dr. Shahriar and our skilled staff can halt the progress of gum disease and repair damaged tissue for a healthy smile and overall wellbeing.

Early-stage gum disease, called gingivitis, can cause painless or mild symptoms like bleeding while brushing or red, swollen gums. Non-surgical therapy for gingivitis includes a deep cleaning and instruction on proper brushing and flossing techniques. Dr. Shahriar may suggest gum surgery for advanced cases of periodontal disease. She’ll remove the diseased tissue to relieve your symptoms and renew your healthy, comfortable smile.
