Healthy gums, treated and maintained in one place.
From your first gum evaluation to long-term maintenance, your care happens at one office, with your cost in writing before treatment starts.
What’s included in periodontal care at our Las Vegas office?
Periodontics covers the health of your gums and the bone that holds your teeth in place, and at our Las Vegas office that care happens in-house rather than at a separate specialist clinic. Most gum problems, from early inflammation to established gum disease, are treated by your general dentist.

How do you know if you need periodontal treatment?
Often you find out at a routine exam, because gum disease is usually silent in its early stages. Bleeding when you brush, persistent bad breath, and gums pulling away from teeth are the common early signs of gum disease. Whether your case is the reversible early stage or something more established makes a real difference in treatment, and our guide to gingivitis vs. periodontitis explains the line between the two. For the full picture of stages, options, and what happens without treatment, start with our overview of gum disease treatment.
If any of this sounds familiar, an evaluation gives you a definite answer and a written plan.

What happens after gum disease treatment?
Treated gums need a different rhythm of care. Instead of a standard cleaning every six months, most patients move to periodontal maintenance every three to four months: a deeper cleaning that reaches below the gumline, plus fresh pocket measurements to catch any backsliding early. It’s the single most effective way to keep treated gum disease from returning.
Most PPO plans cover a portion of that cost. Our page on gum disease treatment cost breaks down the numbers for every stage of care, and our insurance and financing options cover ways to spread the cost out. Once your gums are stable, some patients eventually return to regular exams and cleanings; your dentist will tell you when that’s safe.

Can receding gums be fixed?
Gum tissue that has receded stays where it is, but treatment can rebuild it. If your gums have pulled back enough to expose the root, you’ll usually feel it first as cold sensitivity. Our guide to receding gums covers why it happens and when it needs attention.
When recession is advanced enough to need coverage, gum grafting is done right here in our office, and mild cases are often simply monitored at your regular visits.
