What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the tissues and bone supporting your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to:
- Gum inflammation and bleeding
- Gum recession
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Bone loss
- Tooth loss
- Increased risk of systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes
Early stages are often painless, which is why routine cleanings and exams are critical for early detection.
Symptoms of Gum Disease
You may need periodontal care if you experience:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Receding gums or “long” teeth
- Bad breath or bad taste in your mouth
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Pus between teeth and gums
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, we’ll evaluate your gum health using gentle probing and digital imaging, then design a treatment plan that fits your needs.

Protecting Your Smile Beyond the Gums
Untreated periodontal disease doesn’t just threaten your gums — it can compromise your entire oral structure. In fact, gum disease is one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss. We work closely with you to protect the health of your teeth, jawbone, and restorations like dental implants or same-day crowns.
Periodontal Care for Every Stage of Life
From early intervention in teens to advanced care for adults and seniors, our team tailors every aspect of your treatment plan to your needs. Whether you're preventing gum disease, treating active infection, or maintaining results, you're in expert hands.
We also coordinate with restorative and cosmetic treatments like full mouth reconstruction to ensure your gums and smile stay in sync.
