“Why should I care about my gums?”

Because they are the foundation of your smile. When gum disease or bone loss develops, it can lead to discomfort, loose teeth, and eventually tooth loss if left untreated.

Our goal is to:

  • Reduce bleeding, inflammation, and gum sensitivity
  • Keep your teeth firmly supported and functional
  • Restore areas affected by gum recession or bone loss
  • Create a healthier, more stable foundation for future treatment
  • Restore confidence in your smile

If you notice early signs like bleeding gums or face more advanced concerns like tooth loss, don’t let it pass. Prompt treatment can help protect your health and preserve your smile.

Frequently asked questions about Annandale periodontal care

How do I know if I have periodontal disease?

Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the gums and supporting bone caused by bacteria buildup. Common signs include bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, or sensitivity. A comprehensive periodontal evaluation in Annandale helps us detect and treat it early.

Is gum disease reversible?

In its early stage (gingivitis), gum disease is reversible with professional care and good home hygiene. In more advanced stages, it can be managed and stabilized with treatments like laser therapy or periodontal surgery.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Dental implants are long-lasting replacements for missing teeth that function like natural roots. Even if you’ve been told you’re not a candidate due to bone loss, advanced procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts may make implants possible in Annandale.

What is PRF, and how does it help healing?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is derived from your own blood and used to promote faster healing and better tissue regeneration after procedures like implants or gum surgery.

Do I need a sinus lift?

A sinus lift adds bone to the upper jaw near the sinus area to create enough support for dental implants. It’s commonly recommended when bone loss has occurred.

How often should I see a periodontist?

If you have a history of gum disease or implants, regular periodontal maintenance visits are essential, typically every 3–4 months, depending on your needs.

Can gum disease affect my overall health?

Yes. Research shows links between periodontal disease and systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and inflammation. Treating gum disease supports both oral and overall health.
