We want you to live with the confidence and knowledge that your beautiful smile will last, so we suggest:

- Periodontal Diagnosis, Treatment, & Management - Did you know that 75 percent of adult tooth loss is caused by periodontal, or gum, disease? Gum disease, an infection of the gums and jawbones, occurs because bacteria colonize underneath the plaque and tartar on teeth. Many people have no noticeable symptoms, so the condition escalates.
Left untreated, these bacteria can enter the bloodstream and cause serious overall health problems. Research has linked periodontal disease to heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, premature births, and low birth weight. During your check-up, our hygienist will assess your oral health and look for gum disease. If we discover problems, we will take a proactive approach to eradicate periodontal disease, which may include scaling, root planing, Arestin antibiotic treatment, and electrosurge therapy.
