Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the gums and bone that support your teeth. It starts with plaque buildup along the gumline and can progress from gingivitis (mild inflammation) to periodontitis (advanced gum disease) if left untreated.
Gum disease has been linked to serious health conditions,
including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems. Treating it early can:
Prevent tooth loss
Reduce risk of infection
Improve overall health
Save time, discomfort, and money
Red, swollen, or tender gums
Bleeding when brushing or flossing
Persistent bad breath
Receding gums or longer-looking teeth
Loose or shifting teeth
Pain when chewing
Changes in your bite
Treatment time varies depending on the extent of your gum disease.
We assess your gums, measure pocket depths, and take digital X-rays if needed.
We remove plaque and tartar below the gumline and smooth the tooth roots.
We may recommend antimicrobial therapy or other treatments to eliminate infection.
We create a personalized home care plan and schedule regular maintenance visits.

Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and is often reversible with proper treatment and good oral hygiene. Periodontitis is a more advanced form of gum disease that can damage the gums and supporting bone if left untreated.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during periodontal therapy. We use gentle techniques and local anesthesia when needed to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout your treatment.
The length of treatment depends on the severity of your gum disease and your personalized treatment plan. Some patients complete treatment in one or two visits, while others may require ongoing care to maintain healthy gums.
Many patients with a history of gum disease benefit from periodontal maintenance visits every three to four months. Dr. Lane will recommend a schedule based on your individual oral health needs.
Gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease, can often be reversed with professional treatment and good oral hygiene. While periodontitis cannot be completely reversed, it can be effectively managed to help prevent further damage and protect your oral health.
Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for periodontal therapy when it is considered medically necessary. Our team will review your benefits, explain your coverage, and discuss any out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins.
Regular checkups and cleanings help prevent problems and keep your smile healthy.
