Gum Disease Treatment Options

At Valley View Dental, we offer a range of treatment options to address all stages of gum disease. Our family health dental team provides personalized care that supports both your immediate needs and long-term health:

Scaling and Root Planing

This deep-cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gum line, smoothing the root surfaces to prevent future bacterial growth. Scaling and root planing are essential steps for halting the progression of gum disease.

Gum Grafting

For patients with advanced gum recession, gum grafting restores lost tissue and protects tooth roots. This treatment not only enhances gum health but also improves the appearance of your smile.

Laser Therapy

Our dental wellness team offers minimally invasive laser therapy to remove infected tissue, promoting faster healing and less discomfort.

Ongoing Maintenance

After initial treatment, regular periodontal maintenance cleanings help keep gum disease under control, ensuring you maintain a healthy dental smile.

Our approach to quality dental care means each treatment is customized to your needs, providing a comfortable, effective experience that supports your overall well-being.

Preventing Gum Disease

Preventative care is key to managing gum disease. As a trusted dental health clinic, Valley View Dental emphasizes prevention through regular checkups and good oral hygiene practices. Our team offers guidance on brushing, flossing, and dietary habits that help keep your gums and teeth healthy.
