Your questions, answered

Answers to the most frequently asked questions.

What's the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?

Gingivitis is the earliest, reversible stage of gum disease. Periodontitis is a more advanced stage where infection has caused irreversible bone loss around the teeth and requires professional intervention to manage.

Can my gum disease be cured?

While periodontitis cannot be "cured" in the traditional sense, it can be successfully managed to halt its progression and prevent further damage. This requires professional treatment followed by diligent periodontal maintenance.

Will my treatment be painful?

We take every possible measure to ensure you are comfortable. The area will be thoroughly numbed and most patients report little to no pain during their procedures.
