Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a general term for a build-up of bacteria and inflammation of the gum line. Typically, gum disease can be caused by poor oral care routines, skipping dental appointments, genetics, advanced age, or chronic illness.
When gum disease is left untreated, patients could be at a higher risk for developing further health conditions, including:

Although gum disease can evolve into a serious condition if left untreated, our team has the right tools, technologies, and know-how to restore your gums to a healthy condition. We offer the following periodontal treatments:
At Elite Dental, we offer scaling and root planing (SRP), a common procedure for treating gingivitis that involves a deep cleaning below the gum line before smoothing the surface of the tooth. Scaling and root planing is performed to remove the deep bacteria, plaque, and acid buildup that commonly causes gum inflammation.
Our skilled dentist offers a simple SRP helps to restore and promote healthier teeth, gums, and overall oral health while also preventing all stages of gum disease.
Periodontal disease can be damaging to the jaw bone, making it impossible to support a dental implant without surgical intervention. For patients who are facing periodontal disease, our team may recommend grafting (also known as natural bone regeneration) to promote bone growth in the jaw. This treatment promotes healthy jaw regeneration and strengthening for a healthier smile.
