Step 01
Comprehensive gum assessment and diagnosis
We measure gum pocket depths, check tissue bleeding and recession, review x-rays, and identify whether disease is mild, moderate, or advanced.
Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. Your gum tissue is not attached to the teeth as high as it may seem. There is a very shallow v-shaped crevice called a sulcus between the tooth and gums. Periodontal diseases attack just below the gum line in the sulcus, where they cause the attachment of the tooth and it's supporting tissues to break down. As the tissues are damaged, the sulcus develops into a pocket: generally, the more severe the disease, the greater the depth of the pocket.
Periodontal diseases are classified according to the severity of the disease. The two major stages are gingivitis and Periodontitis. Gingivitis is a milder and reversible form of periodontal disease that only affects the gums. Gingivitis may lead to more serious, destructive forms of periodontal disease called Periodontitis
Overview
Early, structured gum treatment protects teeth, bone, and whole-mouth stability
Periodontal therapy focuses on diagnosing and controlling gum disease before it causes irreversible damage. Inflammation around the gums can silently affect bone levels, tooth stability, breath quality, and outcomes of treatments such as orthodontics, crowns, or implants.
At TrueSmile, care plans are personalized to disease stage and risk profile. Treatment may include deep cleaning, local antimicrobial support, and scheduled maintenance visits designed to keep infection under control and reduce recurrence.
Treatment pathway
Clear, step-by-step periodontal care for predictable healing
Each phase has a specific purpose: stop active infection, improve tissue response, and maintain healthy gums over time.
Step 02
Non-surgical periodontal therapy
Scaling and root planing remove plaque, tartar, and bacterial deposits below the gumline so tissues can reattach and inflammation can reduce.
Step 03
Maintenance and relapse prevention
Regular periodontal maintenance visits, home-care coaching, and risk-based recalls help keep disease stable and protect long-term results.
Why it matters
Healthy gums are the foundation of every successful dental treatment
Periodontal control improves comfort, supports chewing function, and increases predictability for restorative and cosmetic procedures.
Benefit 01
Reduces bleeding, swelling, and gum sensitivity
Targeted cleaning and inflammation control improve everyday comfort and support healthier soft tissue.
Benefit 02
Helps preserve bone and natural teeth
Early intervention lowers progression risk and protects the structures that keep teeth secure.
Benefit 03
Improves outcomes for implants and restorations
Stable gum health provides a cleaner, stronger baseline for long-term restorative success.
