Gum Treatment

Gum health is the foundation of a beautiful and functional smile. At Unident Dental Group, we provide expert gum treatments designed to combat gum disease, prevent tooth loss, and restore the health of your gums. Whether you're experiencing early signs of gingivitis or advanced periodontal disease, our team is here to help.


Why Gum Health Matters


Your gums do more than hold your teeth in place — they protect the bones and tissues supporting your mouth. When gum disease develops, it can silently destroy these structures and lead to serious consequences if left untreated.


Here’s why gum treatment is essential:


  • Prevents Tooth Loss: Untreated gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss. Timely treatment preserves your natural teeth.
  • Reduces Inflammation and Infection: Our treatments target bacteria and plaque below the gumline to eliminate infection and stop progression.
  • Improves Overall Health: Research shows links between gum disease and systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Treating gum issues supports your total well-being.
  • Freshens Breath and Enhances Comfort: Healthy gums reduce bleeding, swelling, and bad breath, helping you feel more confident and comfortable.


Signs You May Need Gum Treatment


  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Persistent bad breath or bad taste
  • Gum recession or teeth appearing longer
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Pain when chewing


If you notice these symptoms, don't wait — early intervention makes a big difference.


Our Gum Treatment Options


At Unident Dental Group, we customize your gum treatment plan based on the severity of your condition. Our services may include:


  • Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing): This non-surgical procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths tooth roots to promote healing and prevent bacteria from returning.
  • Antibiotic Therapy: We may use localized antibiotics to eliminate stubborn bacterial infections and support tissue regeneration.
  • Laser Gum Therapy: Advanced laser technology allows precise, minimally invasive treatment with faster healing and less discomfort.
  • Periodontal Maintenance: We offer ongoing maintenance visits after initial treatment to keep your gums healthy and prevent relapse.


What To Expect During Treatment


  • Comprehensive Gum Evaluation: We assess the depth of your gum pockets, check for signs of infection, and determine the best course of action.
  • Gentle, Personalized Care: Our team uses modern tools and techniques to ensure your comfort
  • Clear Communication: We explain every step of your treatment and provide guidance for home care to support long-term results.
