Heal Your Gums With Minimally Invasive Treatments
While a beautiful smile is important, treating gum disease matters for something even bigger – your overall health. Research has uncovered strong links between gum disease and several serious health conditions, including heart problems, diabetes, and other systemic issues.
However, gum disease can develop quietly without obvious symptoms early on. That’s why preventive care, like regular checkups, is essential. Dr. Zhitnitsky provides proactive care that can spot disease in its earliest stage. But even if you’re noticing more advanced symptoms now, our team has solutions to help restore your gum health.
Depending on the extent of your gum disease, your dentist may recommend:
- Scaling and Root Planing – Your dentist goes beyond a traditional cleaning to address infection below the gumline. This deep cleaning process removes harmful buildup and carefully smooths your tooth roots. It helps your restored gums reattach to teeth and prevents future infection.
- Advanced Laser Treatment – State-of-the-art laser technology allows for precise treatment of infected gum tissue. This approach means faster recovery times and minimal discomfort.
- Antimicrobial Treatment – To ensure comprehensive care, your dentist will apply targeted antimicrobial solutions into your gumline area. This additional step helps eliminate harmful bacteria. It also creates an optimal environment for lasting gum health.
During your appointment, you are welcome to relax with sedation. Your dentist and his team want you to feel completely comfortable. You can also watch TV while we restore your gum health.

Common Questions About Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease treatment is designed to rid your mouth of built-up tartar, plaque, and bacteria that can wreak havoc on your gums. We’ll first use special instruments to clean around and below your gumline where bacteria have collected. Then we’ll smooth your teeth roots to make it harder for bacteria to grow there. This treatment may need to be repeated every few months for best results.
Gum disease, even in its early stages, cannot be cured at home. The condition results from bacterial plaque and tartar accumulating between teeth and gums, in areas inaccessible to regular brushing and flossing. Treatment requires professional intervention by a dental team. They use specialized tools to remove bacteria from these hard-to-reach areas and smooth tooth roots to prevent further bacterial buildup. This process, which can’t be replicated with home care alone, is essential for effectively treating gum disease.
In its early stages, there are often no noticeable symptoms of gum disease. However, there are several signs of gum disease you should look out for. If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, or if they’re red and puffy and sore to the touch, you may be experiencing gum disease. If any of these signs are present, we recommend you contact our office as soon as possible for an appointment.
