Periodontal Treatments

Did you know that nearly half of American adults suffer from some form of gum disease, and more than 10 percent are affected by advanced periodontal disease? At Favia Family Dental, we understand that gum health is a critical part of your overall wellness—and we take it seriously.

Our comprehensive gum therapy program is designed to detect, treat, and manage gum disease at every stage, from early gingivitis to more advanced cases of periodontitis. Our approach emphasizes non-surgical treatment options whenever possible, helping you restore and maintain a healthy smile with minimal discomfort and downtime.

If you’re noticing signs like red or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, or tooth sensitivity, it may be time to schedule an evaluation. We’ll begin with a thorough assessment of your gum health, followed by a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Our periodontal care services include:

• Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline

• Antibacterial therapy to target infection and reduce inflammation

• Ongoing maintenance cleanings to prevent disease progression

We also offer advanced laser therapy to enhance healing and reduce the need for invasive procedures. By combining proven clinical techniques with modern technology, we aim to preserve your natural teeth and help you avoid surgery when possible.

In cases that require surgical intervention, we work closely with a trusted network of local periodontists and will refer you to a specialist who shares our commitment to excellence in care.
