Gainesville Dental Scaling & Root Planing
Protect your gums for a healthier smile
Comprehensive care for gum disease and oral health
Gum health is the foundation of a strong smile. If you’re dealing with bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or gum recession, professional periodontal care can prevent further damage and restore your oral health. At Alvorada Dentistry, we use advanced techniques to treat gum disease effectively and keep your smile in top shape.
Our experienced team offers Gainesville scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance, and laser decontamination to remove harmful bacteria, stop disease progression, and support long-term gum health.
Our approach to periodontal treatment
Effective gum disease treatment starts with a thorough assessment of your gum health using advanced imaging and diagnostic tools. Based on your needs, we provide targeted treatments such as deep cleaning, laser therapy, and ongoing maintenance to restore and protect your gums.
With a focus on patient comfort and precision, we ensure that every treatment is as gentle and effective as possible, helping you maintain a strong, healthy smile for years to come.
Answers to common periodontal concerns
What are the signs of gum disease?
Common symptoms include swollen, bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, and sensitivity. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss. Our team will assess your condition and recommend the best treatment plan.
Does periodontal treatment hurt?
Our procedures are designed to be as comfortable as possible. Treatments like Gainesville scaling and root planing and laser decontamination effectively remove bacteria with minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia or sedation options are available for added comfort.
How often do I need periodontal maintenance?
After treating gum disease, periodontal maintenance is typically recommended every 3–4 months to prevent bacteria from returning. These deep cleanings help keep your gums and teeth healthy in the long run.
What is laser decontamination, and how does it help?
Laser decontamination is a gentle, non-invasive procedure that targets harmful bacteria below the gumline, reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing. It’s an excellent option for maintaining gum health and preventing reinfection.
