Gum Disease Affects Your Teeth, Gums, and Bone
Gum disease is one of the most common oral health problems, and it can affect more than just your smile. This condition begins with gingivitis, a mild type of inflammation that can be easy to ignore, but without treatment, it can progress into a more serious condition called periodontitis.
Gum disease damages the gums, teeth, and bone, leading to tooth loss and whole-body health concerns if left unchecked.
What Are the Warning Signs of Gum Disease?
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums or teeth that look longer
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Pain when chewing
- Sensitivity in your gums

Our Gum Disease Treatment Options
Crown lengthening reshapes your gum line to expose more of your natural tooth structure. We often recommend this treatment to reduce deep periodontal pockets or create the needed foundation for treatments like dental crowns. Still, it can also improve the look of a “gummy” smile .
Issues like gum disease and bite disharmony can sometimes cause the gums to pull away from the teeth, exposing the root surface and making your teeth look longer. A gum graft (also called a gingival graft) restores the healthy position of your gums, helping to stabilize your teeth, protect against sensitivity, and prevent further damage.
Scaling and root planing is a specialized procedure sometimes called non-surgical periodontal therapy or “deep cleaning.” It involves completely removing bacteria and hardened tartar deposits above and below the gum line to remove the trigger for gum disease and allow gum infections to heal. This is often the first step in a more comprehensive oral health treatment plan.
A frenum is a small tissue connecting your lips or tongue to your gums. If the frenum pulls on your gums or interferes with movement, we can perform a frenectomy to adjust it, restoring comfort and function while reducing your risk for gum problems.
If your gums are overgrown because of medications, health issues, or chronic inflammation, it can create a trap where more bacteria can build up. We use advanced laser technology to reshape your gums and remove excess tissue. We often recommend this as an advanced gingivitis treatment, or as part of a cosmetic dentistry plan to create a more aesthetic gum line.
LANAP laser gum disease treatment uses advanced technology to gently remove bacteria and diseased tissue to reverse moderate to severe periodontitis without surgery. This minimally invasive option promotes natural healing and bone regeneration.
