Specialist gum disease and periodontal care for a healthier mouth at About Smiles
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition caused by plaque buildup that leads to gum inflammation, infection, and potential tooth loss. If left untreated, gum disease can impact your overall health, as studies have linked it to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic issues. At About Smiles, our team of skilled periodontists offers advanced treatments to restore gum health, prevent further complications, and help you regain your confidence with a healthy smile.
Our periodontists offer a range of treatments based on the severity of your gum disease, including:
Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning process to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
Laser Therapy: A minimally invasive treatment option to remove infected tissue and stimulate gum regeneration.
Periodontal Surgery: For advanced cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to address significant tissue or bone damage.
Gum Graft Surgery: Restores receding gums and protects exposed tooth roots, improving both health and aesthetics.
Antibiotic Therapy: Targeted medications to combat infection and control inflammation.
At About Smiles, we combine advanced technology with compassionate care to deliver exceptional periodontal services. Our team of specialist periodontists uses cutting-edge techniques like laser therapy and digital imaging to provide precise diagnoses and effective treatments. With a focus on patient education and prevention, we empower you to maintain healthy gums long after your treatment.

Gum disease is caused by plaque buildup on teeth and below the gumline, leading to inflammation and infection of the gums.
In its early stage (gingivitis), gum disease is reversible with professional cleaning and proper oral hygiene. Advanced stages (periodontitis) can be managed to prevent further damage.
Treatment may include scaling, laser therapy, antibiotics, or surgery, depending on the severity of the condition.
Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone damage, and systemic health issues such as heart disease and diabetes.
Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are key to preventing plaque buildup and maintaining healthy gums.
