Periodontal Dentistry
Healthy gums are the foundation of a great smile — and your overall health.
Periodontal Dentistry at Smiles on Main
Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most common dental conditions in adults, and it's also one of the most overlooked. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to serious systemic conditions including heart disease and diabetes.
At Smiles on Main, we take gum health seriously. Our preventive care includes thorough gum evaluations at every exam, and we offer a range of treatments for patients with gum disease — from deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to ongoing maintenance therapy.
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible with professional treatment and good home care. More advanced periodontitis requires more intensive treatment, but it can be managed successfully with regular care.
