About

Periodontics

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to the structures surrounding your teeth — your gums, jawbone, and the connective tissues that hold everything in place. When these tissues become inflamed or infected, the result is gum disease, the leading cause of adult tooth loss in the United States. At <a href=”https://palmcitydentalarts.com/”>Palm City Dental Arts</a>, we take a comprehensive approach to periodontal care: identifying problems early through detailed gum evaluations, treating active disease with proven non-surgical and surgical therapies, and partnering with you on long-term maintenance to keep your smile strong, stable, and beautiful for life.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Common Questions

How do I know if I have gum disease?

Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, or pain when chewing. However, early gum disease is often painless — which is why regular checkups are essential.

Is periodontal treatment painful?

Most periodontal procedures are completed with local anesthesia for comfort. Sedation options are available for patients with dental anxiety or more advanced treatment needs.

Can gum disease be reversed?

Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can be fully reversed with proper treatment and home care. More advanced periodontitis can be controlled and stabilized, though some damage may be permanent — making early intervention critical.

How much does it cost?

We accept most insurance plans, and many cover periodontal therapy as a medically necessary treatment. Call for a personalized cost estimate.
