Comprehensive Periodontal Care to Protect Oral Health
At TCD Specialty Group (TCDSG), gum disease treatment is delivered through a comprehensive, specialist-led approach focused on controlling infection, preserving oral structures, and supporting long-term dental health. Our periodontal specialists work collaboratively with referring dentists to diagnose periodontal disease early and implement evidence-based treatment strategies tailored to each patient’s needs.
By integrating periodontal care within a multi-specialty environment, TCDSG ensures treatment is efficient, coordinated, and aligned with broader restorative and orthodontic goals.
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a chronic inflammatory condition caused by bacterial infection of the gums and supporting bone. It typically progresses in stages—from gingivitis to more advanced periodontitis—often without significant pain in the early phases.
If left untreated, gum disease can lead to:
- Gum recession
- Bone loss
- Tooth mobility or tooth loss
- Complications with restorative or orthodontic treatment
Early diagnosis and appropriate periodontal intervention are critical to long-term oral health.
Signs That Gum Disease Treatment May Be Needed
Patients may be referred for gum disease treatment if they present with:
- Bleeding, swollen, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession or exposed root surfaces
- Periodontal pocketing
- Radiographic or CBCT evidence of bone loss
- Inflammation affecting restorative or implant planning
Our specialists evaluate each case to determine disease severity and the most appropriate treatment pathway.
Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach
Detailed Periodontal Evaluation
Every treatment plan begins with a thorough periodontal assessment, including clinical measurements and diagnostic imaging, to accurately stage disease and guide therapy.
Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy
For early to moderate disease, treatment may include scaling and root planing and adjunctive therapies to reduce infection and inflammation.
Advanced Periodontal Care
When indicated, surgical or regenerative periodontal procedures may be recommended to address deeper pockets, bone loss, or structural concerns.
Integrated Specialty Collaboration
Because periodontal health impacts nearly every area of dentistry, our specialists coordinate closely with restorative, orthodontic, and surgical providers to ensure predictable outcomes.
