Gum Disease Treatment College Station
Using a Soft Touch to Improve Gum Health
At Wright Naeger Dentistry, our three dentists don’t just focus on teeth; we are just as concerned about the state of your gums! As tissues that help hold your pearly whites in place, a bacterial attack on this area of your mouth can lead to tooth and bone loss, as well as problems forming throughout your body. This is why we offer gum disease treatment in College Station with a softer, gentler touch. Our friendly and compassionate team will make sure to provide you with a dental experience that’s worth talking about by helping you feel confident and informed about your care every step of the way. If you notice any bleeding or swelling, or if your gums appear red as opposed to pink, we encourage you to call our team to schedule an examination.

Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing includes the removal of plaque and tartar from the surface of your gums, as far down as the pockets and roots. This will prevent harmful bacteria from reattaching in the future, and with regular maintenance visits, ensure that our team can help you maintain healthy gums for a long time.
Laser Periodontal Treatment
Along with traditional methods of addressing your gum disease, we also utilize the Biolase soft tissue laser. With this additional treatment, you can expect fast and effective results. The device’s concentrated beam of light targets and eliminates bad bacteria, leaving all healthy tissues alone while encouraging treated areas to heal quickly and successfully.
Antibiotic Treatment
You can enjoy a bacteria-free smile with the help of Arestin antibiotic treatment, as it’s designed to target your gum pockets, effectively eliminating remaining bacteria in the deepest crevices. Once it is applied to the swollen and tender tissues, the tiny microbes begin to disperse, allowing the gaps between your gums and teeth to heal while also making it harder for bacteria to form on these surfaces in the future.
Periodontal Surgery
Periodontal surgery can be used to improve the health of infected gum tissues so that you no longer worry about the potential of bone and tooth loss in the future. There are different reasons why our dentists use it, including removing existing bacteria beneath the gums, reshaping the bone that supports your teeth, or preventing gum disease. It can be administered as flap surgery, bone or soft tissue grafting, or guided tissue regeneration, depending on what kind of treatment you need.
