What is Periodontal Therapy

What Is Periodontal Therapy?

Periodontal care is the treatment and management of gum disease, an infection in the gums and bone surrounding your teeth. Caused by bacteria that build up under the gumline, gum disease triggers inflammation and, if left untreated, can lead to tooth and bone loss. Periodontal care ranges from deep cleanings that clear infection to ongoing maintenance, and because early stages like gingivitis are reversible, timely treatment can save your smile.

The Benefits of Periodontal Therapy

Prevents Tooth Loss

Treating gum disease early greatly reduces your risk of the tooth and bone loss it can eventually cause.

Calms Inflammation

Clearing infection below the gumline calms the redness, swelling, and bleeding that come with gum disease.

Protects Your Health

Because oral infections can reach the bloodstream, healthy gums help protect your heart, lung, and overall health.

Lasting Results

A comprehensive care plan stops the disease at its source and keeps your smile healthy between checkups.

Our Step-by-Step Process

From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.

Book a Consultation
  1. 01

    Evaluation

    Your dentist examines your gums and reviews your X-rays to measure pocket depth and any bone loss.

  2. 02

    Staging

    We determine the stage of your gum disease, from reversible gingivitis to more advanced periodontitis.

  3. 03

    Deep Cleaning

    A deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, usually with local anesthetic for comfort.

  4. 04

    Phased Visits

    For comfort, we often clean half of your mouth at a time, spacing your visits about one to two weeks apart.

  5. 05

    Maintenance

    We recommend modified home care and regular maintenance visits to keep the infection from returning.

Signs You May Need Periodontal Therapy

Bleeding Gums

Red, swollen, or tender gums that bleed when you brush or floss are common early signs of gum disease.

Persistent Bad Breath

Persistent bad breath that does not improve with brushing can point to bacteria building below the gums.

Receding or Loose Teeth

Gum recession or teeth that feel loose may signal that infection is affecting the bone supporting them.

Tartar Buildup

Heavy tartar buildup or new spaces forming between your teeth can indicate progressing gum disease.

You're in good company…

How much does it cost to get periodontal care in Woodland Hills, CA?

The cost depends on the stage of gum disease and which treatments are needed, from a deep cleaning to more advanced therapy. We provide a clear treatment plan and affordable options during your assessment.

Does insurance cover periodontal care in Woodland Hills, CA?

Many dental plans help cover periodontal treatment, since it is a necessary part of protecting your oral health. Our team will verify your benefits and include your estimated coverage in your treatment plan.

Is gum disease reversible?

The earliest stage, gingivitis, is completely reversible with good home care and routine cleanings. More advanced periodontitis is not reversible but can be managed and controlled with proper treatment.

Will I need to see a periodontist?

Most mild to moderate gum disease is treated right here in our office. Advanced cases or those that do not respond to conventional therapy may be referred to a periodontist for specialized care.

Can gum disease affect my overall health?

Yes, active oral infections can allow bacteria to spread into the bloodstream and lungs. Gum disease is linked to heart, lung, and reproductive health, which is why timely care matters for your whole body.

How do I keep gum disease from coming back?

Ongoing periodontal maintenance visits and modified home care are key to keeping the infection under control. We will tailor a home care routine and checkup schedule to protect your results.
