Periodontics

Periodontics focuses on the health of your gums and the structures that support your teeth. Healthy gums are essential for a strong, lasting smile, but gum problems can develop quietly without clear signs at first.

At McConachie Dental, we provide gentle care to prevent, detect, and treat gum disease. During your visit, we check your gum health and explain any concerns in simple terms. If treatment is needed, we guide you through your options and create a plan that works for you.

Taking care of your gums helps protect your teeth and your overall oral health. With early care and ongoing support, you can avoid more serious issues and keep your smile healthy for years to come.

Signs of Gum Problems

Gum issues can start quietly, but common signs include bleeding when brushing, swelling, bad breath, or gum recession. If you notice any of these, it’s best to have them checked early so they can be treated before they get worse.

Gum Disease

Gum disease is an infection of the gums that can affect the health of your teeth if left untreated.

More Details

It often starts with mild symptoms like redness or bleeding but can progress without obvious pain.

Early care can help stop gum disease and protect your smile. Our team will assess your gum health and guide you through simple, effective treatment options.

Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT)

Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT) is a gentle, minimally invasive treatment used to manage gum disease and support healthy gums.

More Details

This procedure uses a dental laser to remove harmful bacteria and infected tissue from around the teeth while preserving healthy gum structure.

LAPT can help reduce inflammation, bleeding, and pocket depth, promoting healing and encouraging the reattachment of gum tissue. Compared to traditional methods, laser therapy often results in less discomfort, minimal bleeding, and faster recovery.

Our goal with LAPT is to improve gum health, reduce infection, and help maintain your natural teeth in a comfortable and conservative way.

Scaling & Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning treatment used to remove plaque and bacteria from below the gum line.

More Details

It helps reduce inflammation and allows your gums to heal.

This treatment is often recommended for patients with gum disease. It is a gentle and effective way to restore gum health and prevent further damage.
