Restore and protect your gum health

What is periodontal disease?
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common but serious condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It starts with gingivitis, which causes redness and swelling of the gums, and can progress to periodontitis if left untreated. Advanced periodontal disease can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.
We provide effective and advanced treatments to stop the progression of Corning gum disease and restore your gum health.

FAQs about gum disease treatment in Corning
Is periodontal treatment painful?
Scaling and root planing may cause mild discomfort, but we use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Most patients experience only minimal soreness afterward.
How often should I have periodontal maintenance?
After treatment, we recommend periodontal maintenance cleanings every 3 to 4 months to prevent the recurrence of gum disease.
Can periodontal disease be reversed?
Gingivitis, the earliest stage, can be reversed with professional cleanings and good oral hygiene. However, advanced periodontitis requires ongoing management to prevent further damage.
What happens if I don't treat gum disease?
Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone deterioration, and an increased risk of systemic health issues such as heart disease and diabetes.
