Periodontal Treatment in Denver, CO

If your gums are inflamed or bleeding, a deeper level of care may be needed. We provide periodontal treatment for patients in the Denver area to help stop gum disease and protect their teeth.

What Is Periodontal Treatment?

Periodontal treatment (sometimes called a deep cleaning or scaling and root planing) targets buildup below the gum line. It’s used when gum disease is present and a routine cleaning isn’t enough.

This treatment removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around and beneath the gums to help the tissue heal.

Signs You May Need Deep Cleaning

Gum disease can develop gradually and may not always cause pain early on.

Common signs include:

• Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Persistent bad breath
• Gum recession (teeth appearing longer)
• Loose teeth or shifting bite

If left untreated, gum disease can progress and affect the bone that supports your teeth.

What to Expect

Cleaning Below the Gumline

We carefully remove buildup from areas that aren’t reachable with regular brushing, including below the gumline.

Root Planing

The tooth roots are smoothed to make it harder for bacteria to stick and easier for the gums to heal and reattach.

Focus on Comfort

Local anesthesia is used as needed to keep you comfortable during treatment.

Why Treatment Matters
