Protect Your Smile

Seeing a periodontist is essential for preventing and treating gum disease. Your specialist has extensive training and education in managing gum infections and inflammation.

Through a detailed examination that includes X-rays, they will assess your gum health and recommend personalized treatments.

We may begin with a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing). It removes tartar buildup and smooths root surfaces, reducing bacterial growth.

Your periodontist may also combine it with topical antibiotics to treat bacterial infections underneath the gums. We follow up your procedure with ongoing periodontal maintenance. This will prevent disease progression and future reinfections.

Treat Gum Disease & Restore Receding Gums

Periodontal disease can often trigger gum recession. We offer extensive solutions to restore your gumline. Pinhole surgery is a minimally invasive method for correcting gum recession without incisions or sutures.

Your periodontist can also recommend gum grafting. It restores lost tissue, improving both function and appearance in your smile.

No matter what is needed to restore your healthy smile, you can expect ongoing support from our expert team. We even perform oral cancer screenings to stay on top of your overall well-being.

Whether you need minor intervention or full gum restoration, our periodontics in Germantown will help you achieve optimal oral health. If you struggle with anxiety, sedation options are available.

The staff is super helpful and friendly! They take the time to explain and teach the young ones. They communicate via text occasionally which is much more convenient than getting on the phone sometimes! All good things from this group. They have a client for life. Even my eldest until he aged out of my family insurance came back for his cleanings rather than find one closer to his home!

Dr. Narendra and Brandy are the best. I had such a wonderful experience. The procedure went smooth. I did not feel any pain at all because they scheduled the proper time in between medication perfectly. No swelling or pain at all. Wonderful job.

Extremely friendly yet professional staff especially Brandy who works in scheduling. She has been so helpful to me especially during times when there was difficulty getting my insurer to approve specialty treatments. I would also like to point out all the pleasant conversations I had with Daisha... Extremely friendly yet professional staff especially Brandy who works in scheduling.

What is periodontal disease?

Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place, commonly known as gum disease. It begins with bacterial growth in your mouth that can progress to tooth loss if left untreated. The early stage is called gingivitis, where gums become red, swollen, and may bleed easily during brushing or flossing. As it advances to periodontitis, gums pull away from teeth, forming pockets that become infected and can eventually destroy bone and tissue.

What are the early warning signs of gum disease?

The first sign most people notice is bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, which indicates inflammation. Your gums might appear red and swollen rather than firm and pink. Bad breath that persists despite good oral hygiene can signal bacterial buildup below the gumline. Many patients are surprised to learn that early gum disease often causes no pain, making regular dental checkups crucial for early detection.

Can gum disease affect other parts of my body?

Research has established strong links between periodontal disease and several systemic health conditions. Bacteria from infected gums can enter your bloodstream and potentially contribute to heart disease and stroke. Periodontal disease may complicate diabetes by making blood sugar control more difficult. Pregnant women with gum disease face higher risks of premature birth and low birth weight babies, highlighting why periodontal health matters for your entire body.
