Gum Disease Treatment
Care plans for everything from early gingivitis through advanced periodontitis.
Treatment for gingivitis and periodontitis, ranging from improved hygiene support to deep cleaning and ongoing periodontal maintenance.
Dr. Mejia and our hygiene team measure pocket depths around each tooth, document bone loss with X-rays, and design a treatment plan that matches the stage of disease.
Treating gum disease early can reverse it. Treating it consistently controls it. Either way, you keep your teeth and your overall health.
