Expert Gum Disease Treatment in Burleson, TX
At Dental Visions, we offer expert treatment for every stage of periodontal (gum) disease to help restore and protect your oral health. For mild to moderate cases, we provide thorough gum therapy cleanings to remove plaque and tartar below the gumline—reducing inflammation and encouraging healing. For more advanced periodontal disease, we may recommend additional treatments such as localized antibiotics, laser therapy or surgical options to address infection and repair damaged gum tissue effectively.
01.
Process
Initial Examination: Your visit begins with a detailed assessment of your gums and teeth, including measuring periodontal pocket depth and taking X-rays to evaluate bone health and determine the extent of gum disease.
Gum Therapy Cleaning: We perform a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from both the tooth surface and beneath the gum line. Root surfaces are smoothed to help gums reattach and prevent future buildup.
Local Anesthesia: For your comfort, the area being treated may be gently numbed with local anesthesia.
Antibacterial Support: To aid in healing and reduce bacteria, we may apply targeted antibacterial treatments to the gum pockets following your cleaning.
02.
Next Steps
Daily Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss thoroughly each day, and use any recommended antimicrobial mouth rinses to help control bacteria and support healing.
Routine Dental Visits: Keep up with regular dental appointments so we can monitor your gum health and catch any early signs of disease recurrence.
Watch for Symptoms: If you experience tenderness, swelling or bleeding gums, let us know right away so we can address the issue before it progresses.
