Gum Disease

Battle Gum Disease Where it Starts

GUM DISEASE

Did you know that gum disease is the #1 cause of adult tooth loss? The oral disease causes bone and tissue loss around the teeth, combined with symptoms such as:

Tooth mobility and loss
Gum recession
Sensitivity
Bad breath
Visible tartar buildup
Gums that are swollen or bleed easily

PERIODONTAL THERAPY IN SAN DIEGO

Thankfully it’s possible to take charge of your periodontal health and reverse the effects of gum disease before it is too late. Our customized periotherapy plans allow you to combat gum disease using non-surgical, minimally invasive techniques that produce some of the most significant results possible without having to undergo expensive surgical treatments.

Most of our periodontal treatments involve a series of deep cleaning, combined with laser therapy to enhance results and recovery. For experienced periodontal treatment in San Diego, choose True Design Dentistry.

WHAT IS DEEP CLEANING?

Deep cleaning, also known as periodontal scaling and root planing, are periodontal therapeutic procedures that remove calcified bacteria from the teeth just under the gum lines. True Design Dentistry deep cleanings typically require one to two visits, with the gum treatment focused on one quadrant of your mouth at a time. Each area is numbed for your comfort and then thoroughly cleaned with an ultrasonic hand scaler and manual instrumentation to remove tartar and biofilm. After the scaling, we also recommend the use of a soft-tissue laser to speed healing and treat diseased tissues within the gum pocket. This creates a healthy environment so that your gums can reattach to the tooth’s surface and the disease can be halted.

THE LASER ADVANTAGE

True Design Dentistry is one of the first San Diego dentists to offer a non-surgical laser alternative to periodontal therapy. Our periodontal lasers produce advanced results when combined with periodontal scaling and root planing procedures. With our customized care plan and oral hygiene guidance, we expect our patients to limit or reverse the impact of gum disease within just a few weeks. Schedule an exam with Dr. Refahi and our team to find out if it’s an option for you!
