If you have any questions about gum disease treatment, we’ve got answers.

Modern periodontal procedures are designed to minimize discomfort using local anesthesia and advanced techniques like laser therapy. Most patients experience mild soreness for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and our photobiomodulation therapy to accelerate healing.
Yes, research shows strong connections between periodontal disease and systemic health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. The chronic inflammation and bacteria from gum disease can enter your bloodstream, potentially affecting other organs and compromising your immune system.
Periodontal disease affects natural teeth and their supporting structures, while implant disease (peri-implantitis) affects dental implants and surrounding tissues. Both involve bacterial infection and inflammation, but implant disease can progress more rapidly and requires specialized treatment approaches.
Prevention includes excellent daily oral hygiene, regular professional cleanings, avoiding tobacco use, and maintaining a healthy diet. For implant patients, specialized cleaning tools and techniques are essential, along with regular periodontal maintenance visits to monitor tissue health.
