Information About Periodontal Dentistry Services

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a progressive condition that causes the gums to deteriorate over time, leading to tooth loss.

To treat the early-to-mid stages of gum disease, scaling and root planing treatments can be performed periodically to remove tartar from your gumline.

For patients in the later stages of gum disease (periodontitis and advanced periodontitis), laser gum therapy can be done to remove diseased tissue.

At Oakridge Dental, our team uses cutting-edge technology to perform crown lengthening, a procedure that can reduce the appearance of a "gummy" smile.
