FAQs

How does gum disease progress?

It begins with gingivitis — red, swollen gums that may bleed easily. If left untreated, it can advance to periodontitis, causing bone loss, gum recession, and loose teeth.

What is laser gum therapy?

Laser treatment gently removes diseased tissue and bacteria with precision, reducing discomfort and helping your gums heal faster.

How do dentists diagnose gum disease?

We use a combination of x-rays, probing around the teeth, and visual inspection to detect gum inflammation, bone loss, and infection.

Can gum recession be treated?

Yes. Depending on your case, we may recommend options like soft tissue grafts or minimally invasive techniques to restore and protect your gums.

What happens if gum disease goes untreated?

You risk tooth loss, chronic infections, and an increased likelihood of systemic health issues. Early intervention is the key to protecting your health.
