What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease (gum disease) is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, including bone and connective tissue. It typically begins quietly, but if left untreated, periodontal disease can progress and lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and even bone loss.
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) may present as mild inflammation, while more advanced stages (periodontitis) involve deeper infection and structural damage below the gumline. The good news: with early and consistent preventive care, periodontal disease is highly manageable.
Common Signs of Gum Disease
You may benefit from a periodontal evaluation with our team if you notice:
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession or teeth appearing longer
- Tooth sensitivity near the gumline
- Shifting or loose teeth in advanced cases
Early intervention is key to preventing long-term damage.
What Causes Gum Disease?
Gum disease is most commonly caused by plaque buildup along and beneath the gumline. However, several factors can increase your risk, including:
- Inconsistent oral hygiene habits
- Smoking or tobacco use
- Diabetes or other systemic conditions
- Genetics
- Teeth grinding or misalignment
- Certain medications
- Poor nutrition
Understanding your risk factors allows us to create a more effective, personalized treatment plan. At Broadwing Dental Studio, we provide a full spectrum of gum therapy options, from deep cleaning to advanced laser and regenerative procedures.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
A periodontal deep cleaning is a foundational treatment for gum disease. This non-surgical procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths tooth roots to help gums reattach and heal. It is often the first step in restoring gum health and reducing inflammation.
LANAP® Laser Therapy
A minimally invasive laser treatment for gum disease, LANAP® uses advanced laser technology to target diseased tissue and bacteria while preserving healthy gum structure. This approach supports healing, reduces discomfort, and promotes natural tissue reattachment. This treatment is often a preferred alternative to traditional gum surgery due to its precision and gentle recovery process.
Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation Technique
A modern, incision-free solution for gum recession, the Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation technique gently repositions existing gum tissue through a small entry point, without cutting or sutures. It helps cover exposed tooth roots, improve gum symmetry, and restore a healthier gumline with minimal downtime.
Gingival Contouring (Gum Reshaping)
With gingival contouring, you can refine the balance of your smile by adjusting excess or uneven gum tissue. This procedure can improve both aesthetics and oral health by creating a more even gumline and reducing areas where bacteria may accumulate.
Antimicrobial & Rinse Therapy
At Broadwing Dental Studio, we offer targeted therapies designed to reduce bacteria and support healing after periodontal treatment. Antimicrobial and rinse therapy help control infection, reduce inflammation, and support long-term gum stability.
Why Gum Health Matters More Than You Think
Periodontal disease doesn’t just affect your smile – it has been linked to broader health concerns, including inflammation-related conditions throughout the body. Maintaining healthy gums can support:
- Long-term tooth retention
- Improved overall oral function
- Reduced risk of systemic inflammation
- Better long-term dental outcomes
That’s why we treat gum health as a core part of your overall wellness, not just your smile.
Personalized Periodontal Maintenance
After active treatment for periodontal disease, ongoing care is essential. We develop a customized maintenance plan to help keep your gums stable and healthy, which typically includes more frequent cleanings and regular monitoring. Our goal is to help you maintain your results and prevent the recurrence of your symptoms.
Comfort-Focused Care for Every Patient
At Broadwing Dental Studio, we understand that periodontal treatment can feel intimidating, especially for patients who haven’t had dental care in a while. That’s why our skilled team prioritizes:
- Gentle, minimally invasive techniques
- Clear communication at every step
- Sedation options for patient comfort
- A supportive, judgment-free environment
With our team, you'll always know what to expect throughout the duration of your treatment.
