What We Treat
When gum treatment may help
Healthy gums are essential for a stable, confident smile. We assess the condition of your gums, supporting bone, and bite before recommending the right non-surgical or surgical approach.
Bleeding and swollen gums
Persistent bleeding, tenderness, swelling, or bad breath may be signs of gum inflammation that needs professional care.
Gum recession
Receding gums can expose root surfaces, increase sensitivity, and affect smile aesthetics. Early treatment helps protect teeth.
Periodontal pockets
When infection forms deeper pockets around teeth, targeted periodontal treatment can help reduce bacteria and support healing.
Corrective gum procedures
Selected cases may benefit from gum contouring, flap procedures, or supportive surgical care to restore healthier gum architecture.
Laser Gum Corrections
Laser gum corrections can be used in selected cases to refine gum contours with greater precision and comfort. This approach may help reduce bleeding, support faster healing, and improve the balance of the smile when excess or uneven gum tissue is present.
How treatment is planned
Every case begins with a clear diagnosis and a step-by-step plan focused on comfort, function, and long-term gum stability.
