Do I really need periodontal care?
If you think you might need periodontal care, it's best to take action sooner rather than later. By protecting your smile now, you can preserve your natural teeth for years to come. Periodontitis can cause serious damage if left untreated. In severe cases, it can even lead to tooth loss. If you notice symptoms like swollen or bleeding gums, don't wait - it’s time to get help right away.

Active Gum Therapy
Active Gum Therapy is our professional, individualized treatment of a patient’s gum inflammation. Since inflammation and disease in your mouth can negatively affect disease in your body, our goal of the program is to stop, stabilize, or reverse the disease process. When you improve gum inflammation, you help with overall health in the rest of the body.
When a patient chooses to participate in AGT, our licensed hygienists and doctors carry out a true therapy model that is customized for each patient’s health. There is no one-size-fits-all AGT plan because our conditions, our mouths, and our bodies are unique.
Patients can take advantage of this customized treatment and get started stabilizing their oral health by visiting with one of our professionals at your next dental visit.
Gentle Treatment With Laser Therapy
With laser technology, we are able to offer gum disease treatment that is more comfortable than ever before. Laser therapy is a non-surgical treatment that effectively removes harmful bacteria from under the gums and promotes healthy tissue regeneration.
