Healthy Gums = A Healthier You
Gentle, modern gum disease treatment designed around your life
Gum disease doesn’t just cause bleeding gums or bad breath – it can quietly damage the bone that supports your teeth and put your overall health at risk. If you’ve been told you need periodontal care, you might feel overwhelmed or unsure what it means. That’s where we come in.
We offer personalized, judgment-free gum care to help you get back to health. Dr. Mariam or Dr. Yara will tailor your gum therapy with options like PerioProtect, deep cleanings, or both, depending on what your smile needs.

What Is Periodontal Therapy?
Periodontal therapy includes a variety of treatments that fight gum disease; an infection of the gums and bone that hold your teeth in place. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and even increase your risk for heart disease and diabetes.
Gum disease is treatable, and often manageable with the right care plan. We help you catch it early, stop it from progressing, and stay healthy long-term.
What Are The Signs of Gum Disease?
- Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bad breath that sticks around
- Gum recession (teeth looking longer)
- Loose or shifting teeth
- A change in how your bite feels
If you're noticing any of these, it might be time to check in. Early treatment can make all the difference.
An Easy At-Home Boost: PerioProtect

PerioProtect is a simple and non-invasive at-home treatment for early or ongoing gum disease.
Here’s how it works:
- You’ll get custom trays that fit comfortably over your teeth and gums.
- Each day you’ll apply a gentle hydrogen peroxide gel inside the trays.
- The gel targets deep pockets of bacteria, reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
This treatment helps you actively maintain your gum health between visits, especially if you’re prone to gum issues or want to avoid more invasive treatments.
Scaling & Root Planing for Gum Disease
When gum disease sets in, regular cleanings might not cut it. We offer deep cleanings (called scaling and root planing) to clear out buildup beneath the gumline and help your gums heal where toothbrushes can’t reach.
Gingivitis vs. Periodontitis: What’s the Difference?
Gum disease starts small, and in its early stage (gingivitis), it’s usually reversible with a dental cleaning and better brushing and flossing at home. If it progresses to periodontitis, the damage can’t be undone, but with the right care we can help manage it and prevent it from getting worse.

Does PerioProtect replace professional cleanings?
No. PerioProtect is a powerful complement to professional care. It helps manage bacteria between visits and reduce the need for more intensive treatments over time.
Is gum disease reversible?
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is usually reversible with professional cleanings and good home care. More advanced stages (periodontitis) can’t be reversed—but they can be managed to stop further damage.
How long does periodontal treatment take?
That depends on the severity of the disease. Some patients see improvement after just a few visits and consistent home care; others may need ongoing maintenance.
Is periodontal therapy painful?
Most treatments are gentle and well-tolerated, especially with modern tools like lasers and numbing gels. We'll walk you through every step and make sure you're comfortable.
