PERIODONTAL CARE
Healthy gums and solid bone are the foundation every healthy smile is built on.
Your gums and the bone beneath them do quiet, essential work—anchoring your teeth, protecting their roots, and forming the stable base that every other treatment depends on. When that foundation is compromised by inflammation, infection, or recession, the damage rarely stays contained. Left unaddressed, periodontal disease can spread silently, leading to bone loss, gum recession, and eventually tooth loss.
At CARE | Smiles + Skin, we treat periodontal health as the starting point, not an afterthought. Using precise, laser-assisted, evidence-based therapy, we target disease at its source and, wherever possible, regenerate what has already been lost—protecting your natural teeth, your implants, and the long-term success of every investment you make in your smile
Reverse Gum Disease with Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy
If painful, tender gums are interfering with your daily life—and other treatments haven't helped—advanced periodontal laser therapy may be the turning point you've been looking for.
Periodontal disease often goes undiagnosed until it has already caused damage, and it can progress with or without pain or noticeable bleeding. This is especially true for people who smoke or vape, where the warning signs are frequently masked. By the time symptoms become obvious, significant bone and tissue loss may already be underway.
Our approach is different. Using twin-wavelength lasers from Fotona and DEKA, our team cleans and disinfects infected gum tissue while actively promoting tissue and bone regeneration—with a level of precision, and a recovery experience, that scalpel-and-suture methods simply can't match. Rather than only halting disease, laser-assisted therapy helps your body rebuild what was lost, treating the cause and not just the symptoms.
You may benefit from periodontal laser therapy if you experience:
Tender, swollen, or bleeding gums
Gum recession, or teeth that appear longer than they used to
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste that doesn't resolve
Loose teeth or a shifting bite
A previous diagnosis of gum disease that hasn't fully resolved
Professional Cleanings & Periodontal Maintenance
Consistent professional cleanings are one of the most powerful—and most overlooked—tools for protecting your long-term oral health, and they become even more important once gum disease has been treated.
The American Dental Association recommends professional cleanings at least every six months, but many patients benefit from more frequent periodontal maintenance, particularly those with implants, a history of gum disease, or specific risk factors. These visits do more than keep your smile fresh. They give our team the chance to monitor the health of your gums and bone, review imaging, and intervene while any developing issues are still small and simple to manage.
Our hygiene philosophy is microbiome-conscious: rather than wiping out every microbe in your mouth, we work to restore a healthy oral environment that supports your gums, your teeth, and your overall health for the long term.
Rebuild What Disease Took: Gum & Bone Grafting
When recession or infection has already cost you tissue or bone, we don't just stop the damage—we work to restore the foundation.
Soft tissue and gum grafting cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and protect teeth from further recession, while bone grafting rebuilds the support that holds teeth and implants securely in place. We use biocompatible grafting materials throughout, chosen to integrate cleanly with your body and to set the stage for healthy, lasting results—including the long-term success of any implants down the road.
Single-Tooth Implants, Restored to Look and Feel Natural
When a tooth can't be saved, a single implant is the gold standard for replacing it—and we handle both placement and the final restoration in one coordinated process.
We offer titanium implants as well as metal-free zirconia options for patients who prefer a biocompatible, holistic alternative. Either way, the goal is the same: a replacement tooth that looks natural, functions like the real thing, and protects the surrounding bone for years to come. Because we plan implants alongside your periodontal and regenerative care, your new tooth is built on a foundation that's genuinely healthy.
A Different Approach to Periodontal Care
Laser Over Scalpel
Our twin-wavelength Fotona and DEKA lasers let us treat infected tissue with a level of precision traditional surgery can't reach, without the cutting and suturing. The result is gentler treatment, less bleeding, and a recovery that's noticeably more comfortable.
Metal-free options
For patients who prefer a holistic, biocompatible alternative to titanium, we offer zirconia implants. They deliver the same strength and natural appearance while keeping your treatment completely metal-free.
Microbiome-focused care
Rather than wiping out every microbe in your mouth, we work to restore the balanced oral environment your gums and teeth depend on. A healthy microbiome is one of your body's strongest defenses against disease, so we protect it instead of overriding it.
Biocompatible materials
From grafting products to final restorations, every material we use is chosen to integrate cleanly and work in harmony with your body. It's a detail that makes a real difference in how well you heal and how long your results last.
