Gum Disease Treatment in Beverly Hills

Gum disease is a common but often overlooked oral health concern. Our Beverly Hills office's primary aims are to detect periodontal disease early, provide cutting-edge treatment, and prevent it from returning. The goal is to prevent gum disease from worsening and, if harm has already been done, to restore the gums' natural balance and health. Our staff provides tailored care based on your condition, whether you are experiencing early symptoms or dealing with more severe ones.

What Is Gum Disease?

Periodontal disease, often known as gum disease, is a progressive illness that affects the bone and soft tissue that support your teeth. Plaque buildup around the gum line is typically the first sign. In case the gum disease is not treated properly, it can cause tooth movement and eventually tooth loss. With proper treatment and ongoing attention, the infection may be treated and further complications prevented.

Signs You May Have Gum Disease

Gum disease often develops slowly and quietly, which is why it’s important to be aware of the warning signs. You must visit the dentist to get yourself examined if you experience any of the following:

  • Bleeding when brushing or flossing
  • Red, swollen, or tender gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Receding gumline
  • Shifting or loose teeth
  • Sensitivity along the gumline
  • Pus between the teeth and gums

Treatment Options Available in Beverly Hills

We provide a wide range of periodontal treatments, each tailored to your specific condition. During your initial assessment, we will assess the severity of the ailment and recommend the best course of treatment.

Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning is a non-surgical treatment for promoting healing and gum tissue reattachment. This is a process that removes plaque and tartar from behind the gums while smoothing the root surfaces.
Laser Treatment
Laser treatment allows for precise and painless removal of diseased tissue. This results in faster healing for patients who want a minimally invasive approach.
Grafting gums
Grafting treatments for receding gums return the gum line to its natural curves while protecting exposed tooth roots from decay and discomfort.
Regenerative therapy
Regenerative therapy can help regenerate lost bone and strengthen teeth after bone loss.

Why Treatment Is Essential

Gum disease can affect your overall health in addition to your oral health. Research has shown a relationship between respiratory illnesses, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and periodontal disease.

Early treatment can help you:

  • Reduces sensitivity, pain, and inflammation.
  • Improve your oral hygiene and breath quality.
  • Reduce systemic inflammation for better overall health.
  • Restore your gum line to give your smile a healthier, younger appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Warning Signs of Gum Disease?
Early warning signs include red, irritated, or bleeding gums, particularly while brushing or flossing. Additionally, you can see recurrent foul breath, loose teeth, or gums that are pulling away from your teeth.
How Do You Treat Gum Disease?

Gum surgery may be required in extreme cases, whereas mild cases necessitate intensive cleaning (scaling and root planing).   To prevent it from recurring, your dentist will also teach you basic brushing and flossing techniques.

Is there a complete cure for gum disease?
With proper care and treatment, early gum disease (gingivitis) can be completely reversed. Although severe gum disease may be controlled and prevented from developing, the damage once done is usually irreversible.
What is the duration of treatment for gum disease?

The severity of your disease determines how long it will take to treat. While severe cases may need months of therapy and many dental visits, moderate cases may heal in as little as a few weeks with proper brushing.
