These conservative therapies are ideal for patients in the early to moderate stages of periodontal disease who want to improve their oral health while preserving natural tissue.
Dr. Shauna H. Gammage, Dr. Jamila J. Jenkins and Dr. Leah Asher offer a gentle, professional approach to gum care. By using modern techniques and personalized plans, we help patients control infection, reduce inflammation and support healing—all while minimizing discomfort and downtime.
Why Choose Non-Surgical Treatment?
Gum disease develops when bacteria accumulate along the gumline, leading to inflammation, bleeding and eventually bone loss if left untreated. Non-surgical treatments aim to clean below the gumline, eliminate infection and stop the progression of disease without the need for surgical intervention.
Key benefits of non-surgical gum treatment include:
- Reduced gum inflammation and bleeding
- Prevention of bone and tooth loss
- Less discomfort compared to surgical alternatives
- Preservation of natural gum tissue
- Improved breath and overall oral health
Our dentists evaluate your gum health using precise diagnostic tools to determine the best course of treatment. Common methods may include scaling and root planing, deep cleanings and the use of localized antimicrobials to target bacteria below the gum surface.
Patient-Focused Periodontal Care
We understand that gum treatment can feel intimidating. That is why we prioritize patient comfort, clear communication and long-term support. Our team will guide you through each step, from the initial exam to post-treatment care, with compassion and attention to detail.
Routine periodontal maintenance is essential for lasting results. After non-surgical therapy, we recommend more frequent cleanings and ongoing monitoring to keep your gums healthy and stable. This proactive approach helps prevent recurrence and ensures continued progress.
Our commitment to modern technology and evidence-based care allows us to provide efficient, effective treatment without compromising your comfort.
