Know the signs
What is gum disease?
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It starts as gingivitis — red, swollen gums that bleed easily — and can progress to periodontitis, which damages the bone and can loosen teeth.
Plaque that isn’t removed hardens into tartar that irritates the gums. Pain is often mild or absent, so regular checkups are the best way to catch gum disease early.
Stages
The stages of periodontal disease
Gingivitis is reversible. Periodontitis can be controlled with treatment and regular maintenance.
| Stage | Signs | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Gingivitis | Red, swollen, bleeding gums | Professional cleaning + home care (reversible) |
| Early periodontitis | Early bone loss, gum pockets forming | Scaling and root planing |
| Moderate periodontitis | Deeper pockets, more bone loss | Scaling and root planing, possible antibiotics |
| Advanced periodontitis | Loose teeth, significant bone loss | Deep cleaning, gum surgery, ongoing maintenance |
Early gum disease often starts with skipped cleanings. Keep up with professional teeth cleanings every six months.
Our services
Periodontal treatments we offer
We customize your plan to the stage of gum disease and your comfort.
Gum evaluation
A detailed exam that checks inflammation, pocket depths, and signs of infection.
Scaling & root planing
A non-surgical deep cleaning that removes plaque and tartar below the gumline and smooths the roots.
Laser therapy
In certain cases, laser treatment targets infected gum tissue while protecting healthy areas.
Gum surgery
For advanced disease, procedures such as gum grafting or pocket reduction.
Periodontal maintenance
Visits every three to four months keep gums healthy after treatment.

Cost & insurance
How much does periodontal treatment cost?
Periodontal treatment cost depends on how advanced your gum disease is. Scaling and root planing starts from $200 per quadrant. Early gingivitis may only need a professional cleaning and better home care.
Coverage varies by insurance plan. We help you understand your benefits and give you a detailed estimate before any treatment.

Why it matters
Why healthy gums matter
Healthy gums protect the bone that holds your teeth. Research has linked gum disease to overall health problems such as heart disease and diabetes, so treating it supports more than your smile.
Healthy gums are also important before cosmetic or restorative work like dental implants or veneers.

- Brush twice a day and floss daily
- Get professional cleanings every six months
- Don’t smoke
- Tell us about bleeding or swollen gums early
- Keep up with periodontal maintenance visits
