What Is Periodontics?

Periodontics focuses on inflammatory diseases that damage the gums and bone supporting your teeth. Left untreated, these conditions can lead to tooth mobility, gum recession, and even tooth loss. Our board-certified periodontist, Dr. Toscano, provides comprehensive care—from early-stage gingivitis to advanced periodontitis—and is also highly skilled in placing and maintaining dental implants and performing soft tissue grafting and bone regeneration procedures.

Do You Need to See a Periodontist?

You may need periodontal treatment if you experience any of the following:

  • Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing

  • Red, swollen, or tender gums

  • Receding gums or teeth that appear longer than before

  • Persistent bad breath or bad taste in your mouth

  • Loose or shifting teeth

  • Visible pockets between your gums and teeth

Gum disease is often silent—most people don’t realize there’s a problem until it becomes severe. Early detection is key to preserving your smile and preventing tooth loss.

Periodontal Treatments We Offer

At Empower Your Smile, we provide a full spectrum of non-surgical and surgical periodontal treatments tailored to your unique needs:

Scaling and Root Planing

A deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar below the gumline and smooth the root surfaces to encourage healing.

Root Surface Debridement

Eliminates damaged or diseased tissue to reduce inflammation and support tissue regeneration.

Periodontal Maintenance

Ongoing cleanings and monitoring to prevent the recurrence of gum disease.

Cosmetic Gum Procedures

Includes gum contouring, soft tissue grafting, and other esthetic enhancements to correct uneven gum lines or improve implant esthetics.

Bone Grafting & Regenerative Therapy

Used to restore lost bone around teeth or prepare areas for dental implants. These procedures help rebuild the foundation for a healthy, functional smile.
