Gum Disease

Join Thousands of Happy Patients ❤️

See why real patients love Comfort Dental Care & Orthodontics!
I love this dental office! I've had cleanings to implants done here and I have no complaints. Even my 2 sons go here again from cleanings to wisdom teeth out and just recently my autistic son who fears all needles had 5 fillings and 2 baby teeth pulled under oral sedation and it went great! All the people there are so friendly, caring and supporting of their patients needs!

Had a tooth implant loosen during the holiday. The staff was able to get me in the first day back and Dr. Vasquez as usual was awesome. No pain, quick procedure. Whole staff was very friendly and helpful! I don't stress going to the dentist anymore.

I recently got my teeth cleaned at Comfort Dental in Mary Esther and I have to say it was a very great experience! The staff was very friendly, professional, and I was in and out relatively quickly! I would highly recommend them for all your dental needs! My experience was by far better than I窶况e had at other Dentists!

What Is Gum Disease?

Healthy gums are essential for strong teeth, facial structure, and overall wellbeing. Along with daily brushing and flossing, professional treatments can restore gum health. At Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics, we provide advanced periodontal therapy, using surgical and nonsurgical methods to fight gum disease and detoxify root surfaces, protecting your gums at every stage.

Benefits of Gum Treatment

By reducing the amount of toxins and bacteria levels using an ultrasonic laser, we are able to help your immune system control infections associated with gum disease. Gum treatments give you the many benefits of a healthy smile and a reduced risk of heart disease.

What Is the Procedure for Gum Disease Treatment?

The type of gum treatment you will undergo can be either surgical or nonsurgical. These can include advanced procedures such as scaling and root planing, which are deep cleaning procedures used to remove hardened plaque and tartar away from and under the gum line. Surgeries can include tissue and bone grafts that are used together with either your existing bone and tissue or synthetic forms to help reconstruct areas where advanced gum disease has left craters and pits, forming a breeding ground for bacteria.

How Much Does Gum Disease Treatment Cost?

The cost of gum treatment depends on the extent of the issue and the extent of treatment necessary to resolve it. In some cases, your dental insurance may cover your gum treatment. Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics offers convenient financing options through CareCredit® and OrthoBanc® to help make dental care more affordable for you and your family.

Periodontal Treatment

If you are experiencing pain in and along the gum line or if you have been told that you have a buildup of tartar, plaque, calculus, or gingivitis, ultimately periodontal treatment may be the right solution.

Gingivitis

Gingivitis is a very dangerous extension of dental pathology, and it has been shown to lead to the early onset of heart disease. Preventing heart disease may ultimately start with preventing gingivitis. If you are concerned about gingivitis, please contact us now to set up your consultation.

What to Expect During Your Gum Disease Treatment Consultation

During your gum treatment consultation, we will examine your gums and teeth to determine an accurate treatment plan moving forward. If surgery is necessary to treat the issues, we will go over the procedure to be performed as well as each stage of the process so that you’ll know exactly what to expect.
