Protect the foundation of your smile with state-of-the-art periodontal treatment in Cumming, GA! At North Georgia Smiles, we believe healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Gum disease often develops quietly, starting with redness, swelling, or occasional bleeding. If left untreated, it can lead to bone loss, tooth instability, and even affect your overall health.
Our approach to periodontal treatment combines compassionate care with advanced clinical treatments to stop infection, restore gum health, and maintain long-term oral wellness. Your periodontal treatment at North Georgia Smiles may include:
Periodontal Exams & Regular Cleanings
Prevention starts with thorough periodontal exams at every dental visit. Our team measures the depth of gum pockets and checks for early signs of gingivitis or periodontitis, allowing us to catch problems before they progress. Combined with professional cleanings, these exams help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach, keeping your gums healthy and reducing the risk of infection.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
When plaque and tartar build up below the gumline, a standard cleaning isn’t enough. Deep cleaning, or Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), removes harmful deposits from your teeth and smooths root surfaces, preventing bacteria from reattaching. This allows your gums to heal and reattach to your teeth, reducing pocket depths and stabilizing your smile.
Arestin® (Targeted Antibiotic Therapy)
For more advanced cases, we may recommend Arestin®, a localized antibiotic treatment placed directly into gum pockets after a deep cleaning. Contained in tiny microspheres, Arestin® releases medication over 30 days to eliminate bacteria at the source, helping your gums reattach and recover faster.
Why Periodontal Care Matters
Gum disease is manageable, but early intervention is critical. Treating gingivitis and periodontal disease protects your teeth, prevents bone loss, and supports your overall health. Our experienced team provides personalized care in a comfortable, supportive environment, ensuring your gums stay strong for years to come.
