Healthy gums are the foundation of a lasting smile. Our expert gum disease treatments restore your oral health and protect against tooth loss.
Gum disease—when left untreated—can lead to inflammation, bone loss, and even tooth loss. At Fairfax Dental & Cosmetics, our periodontal specialists use non‐surgical and surgical techniques (scaling & root planing, laser therapy, gum grafts) to halt disease progression, regenerate lost tissue, and maintain a healthy foundation for your teeth and implants. With personalized maintenance plans, we keep your gums strong and your smile secure.
We chart pocket depths, assess bleeding points, and take 3D scans or X-rays to gauge bone levels.
Our hygienists remove plaque and tartar below the gumline, smoothing root surfaces to encourage reattachment.
We offer laser treatments, antimicrobial rinses, and localized antibiotic delivery to enhance healing.
For advanced cases, we perform flap surgery, gum grafts or guided tissue regeneration to rebuild lost structures.
After active therapy, we schedule frequent periodontal cleanings and re-evaluations to keep disease at bay.
Once we’ve controlled active disease, our team will guide you through personalized maintenance—prescribing at-home rinses, scheduling cleanings every 3–4 months, and offering lifestyle advice—to ensure your gums stay healthy and your smile remains strong for life.
Plaque buildup, genetics, smoking, diabetes and certain medications can all contribute.
We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques—most patients feel little to no discomfort.
Soft-tissue healing typically takes 1–2 weeks; full regeneration may take several months.
Most PPO plans cover a large portion of scaling/root planing and basic periodontal procedures. Our team will verify your benefits before treatment.
