Periodontal Therapy in Hamilton

Protect your gums, teeth, and jawbone with professional periodontal therapy. Gum disease often begins quietly but can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss if left untreated. Periodontal therapy focuses on early detection, deep cleaning, and long-term maintenance. Safe, effective, and guided by a dental team.

How Periodontal Therapy Treats Gum Disease

Periodontal therapy treats gum disease caused by plaque and bacteria that build up below the gumline. In its early stage, known as gingivitis, symptoms may include redness, swelling, and bleeding gums. If untreated, advanced periodontitis can lead to deep gum pockets, bone loss, loose teeth, and chronic infection.

Before starting treatment, we assess gum pocket depth, inflammation, bone levels, and risk factors such as smoking, dry mouth, or certain medical conditions. Treating gum disease early helps preserve natural teeth and improve long-term oral health.

Periodontal Therapy treatment

Non-Surgical Periodontal Care

Treats plaque and bacteria below the gumline to control gum disease early.

Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)

Removes infection and smooths roots to support gum healing.

Comprehensive Gum Assessments

Detailed evaluations to detect gum disease and guide treatment planning.

Treatment Options & Long-Term Gum Health

Mild to moderate gum disease is often managed with non-surgical treatments like scaling, root planing, and antibacterial therapy. These procedures reduce inflammation and allow gums to reattach to teeth. Advanced cases may require additional periodontal procedures to stabilize the gums and supporting bone. Long-term success depends on regular periodontal maintenance, good oral hygiene, and avoiding tobacco.
