Reasons To Get Gum Disease Treatment Now
Gum disease can weigh heavily on a patient's well-being. Many people don't realize how quickly bad gum disease can lead to tooth loss. At Arvada Dental Center & Implants, we provide comprehensive periodontal treatment to stop gum disease before it worsens. With our modern dental treatment options, you can easily reverse the effects of bleeding gums when diagnosed early.

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is a bacterial infection of the gums caused by plaque buildup. It begins with gingivitis and can progress to periodontitis if left untreated.
Without treatment, gum disease causes gum recession, bone loss, and eventual tooth loss. Early detection and treatment can reverse damage and save your teeth.

Essential Gum Disease Treatments

Laser Gum Surgery

Laser gum therapy uses focused dental laser energy to remove diseased tissue and bacteria while preserving healthy gum tissue. At Arvada Dental Center & Implants, laser treatment may be used for selected periodontal conditions to reduce inflammation and support healing with a minimally invasive approach.

Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical deep cleaning used to treat gum disease. Plaque and tartar are removed from above and below the gum line, and the tooth roots are smoothed to help the gums heal and reattach more effectively.

Osseous Surgery

Osseous surgery is a periodontal procedure used for advanced gum disease when deep pockets and bone changes cannot be managed with non-surgical treatment alone. The procedure allows access to remove diseased tissue and deposits around the teeth and, when appropriate, reshape damaged bone to support healthier gums.

Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal maintenance helps control gum disease after active treatment. These appointments typically include more thorough cleaning around the teeth and below the gum line and are often scheduled every three to four months based on your periodontal needs.
