Periodontics

Healthy gums are the foundation of your smile.

Healthy gums support healthy teeth. At Smile On Clinics, periodontal care is an important part of long-term oral health for patients with gum disease or signs that something is not right.

If you have been told you have gum disease or notice bleeding, swelling, or recession, our teams assess what is happening and help you manage it.

Understanding gum disease

Gingivitis is early inflammation, often reversible with professional care and improved hygiene. Untreated gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, where bone and supporting tissue break down and require more involved ongoing management.

Signs to get assessed

Bleeding when brushing or flossing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, bite changes, or gumline sensitivity all warrant assessment.

  • Thorough periodontal assessment
  • Professional cleaning and scaling
  • Deep cleaning (root planing) when needed
  • Tailored ongoing maintenance schedules
