Stop Infection With a Deep Cleaning

If you show signs of gum disease or we spot it during your checkup, your dentist will step in with comfortable solutions to target the infection.

Our comprehensive approach begins with a thorough deep cleaning. Your dentist will gently remove harmful bacteria above and below your gumline.

Then we'll smooth root surfaces to prevent future infections. We may follow up with topical antibiotics or antibacterial rinses to help your body fight the disease.

You'll also receive a customized home care plan with specific techniques to keep gum disease at bay. We may recommend more frequent checkups and cleanings to ensure your smile stays in good condition.

Maintain Your Oral Health

Gum disease often develops silently. You may not notice symptoms right away. That's the importance of visiting us for regular dental checkups. We can spot the signs before your smile suffers lasting damage or requires extensive treatment.

However, if it's been a while since your last checkup, you'll want to pay attention to certain warning signs. You may notice bleeding when you brush or floss, red or inflamed gum tissue, or increased tooth sensitivity due to receding gums.

Make an appointment right away if these symptoms sound familiar. We'll thoroughly treat your gum disease. After, you'll notice improvements like reduced bleeding, fresher breath, and healthier-looking gums.

Don't wait for help! Schedule a visit for gum disease treatment in Beaverton.

Common Questions About Gum Disease Treatment

Is gum disease treatment painful?

We make sure you are completely comfortable during treatment. You will experience little to no discomfort during gum disease treatment. We use gentle techniques and a local anesthetic to ensure you don't feel a thing. If you have dental anxiety, we have sedation options available, including laughing gas or anti-anxiety medication.

Will my insurance cover gum disease treatment?

Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of gum disease treatment, as it's considered a necessary health procedure. Coverage percentages vary depending on your specific plan and the treatments required. Our team will verify your benefits and explain your coverage before treatment begins.

How often will I need maintenance visits after treatment?

We typically recommend maintenance visits every three to four months following gum disease treatment. These more frequent visits allow us to monitor your gum health and prevent reinfection before it occurs. Your dentist will determine your ideal maintenance schedule based on your healing progress and other risk factors.
