Periodontal disease Treatment

Gum disease, left untreated, can become expensive to correct once it advances into periodontitis. In the United States, gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss. Dr. Bassiri and our hygiene team treat periodontal disease (gum disease) thoroughly and comprehensively, as early as possible, to prevent difficult situations for our patients down the road.
Depending on your level of gum disease, we may recommend:

  • Scaling to remove hardened plaque from below the gum line
  • Root planing to reduce rough teeth roots and deter plaque accumulation
  • Antibiotic therapy to kill bacteria
  • Laser gum therapy
