What We Offer

Our Periodontal Services


Periodontal Evaluation

Every healthy smile starts with a thorough assessment of the supporting structures. We perform a detailed evaluation of your gum tissue, checking for signs of inflammation, recession, or "pockets" where bacteria can hide, ensuring we catch periodontal disease in its earliest, most treatable stages.

Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

If gum disease has progressed beyond the surface, a standard cleaning isn't enough. Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical "deep cleaning" that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the tooth roots, allowing your gums to heal and reattach securely to the teeth.

Periodontal Maintenance

Managing gum disease doesn't end with treatment. For patients with a history of periodontal concerns, we offer specialized maintenance plans that go further than routine cleanings — with more frequent visits focused on high-risk areas to prevent recurrence and preserve your bone health.

Laser & Anti-Microbial Therapy

To enhance your healing, we utilize advanced antimicrobial treatments that target bacteria deep within the periodontal pockets. This modern approach reduces inflammation faster and promotes a healthier environment for your gums to recover without the need for invasive surgery.

Who Does Periodontic Treatment Help?

Do your gums bleed when you brush? Are they red, swollen, or tender? Gum disease is often “silent,” meaning it doesn’t always hurt until it’s advanced. If you’ve noticed persistent bad breath or receding gums, a periodontal evaluation is the most important step you can take for your oral health.

Common Questions

FAQs About Preventive Care

A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) focuses on the visible part of the tooth above the gumline. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is a therapeutic treatment that goes beneath the gumline to remove bacteria and infection that are actively damaging the bone and surrounding tissue.

While early-stage gingivitis can be reversed, advanced periodontitis is a chronic condition that must be managed. With professional deep cleanings and a consistent maintenance schedule in our take out Northern Westchester office, we can stop the progression of the disease and save your teeth.

 Yes. Research shows a strong link between periodontal disease and systemic health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and strokes. By treating gum disease, you are making a significant investment in your entire body's wellness.

Your comfort is our priority from start to finish. We use local anesthetics to ensure the treatment area is completely numb before we begin, and most patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the experience truly is. Many notice significant relief from tenderness and bleeding shortly after their visit.

Most patients managing gum disease benefit from a visit every 3 to 4 months. The goal of more frequent visits is simple: to disrupt bacterial growth early, before it can cause further harm, and to ensure your gum health stays consistently stable between appointments.
