Gum Disease Treatment in Vista, CA 

How Do Dentists Treat Gum Disease?

Our experienced dentists and dental hygienists have numerous non-surgical and surgical treatments at their disposal to address moderate to severe gum disease. 

Non-Surgical Treatments

Professional Dental Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)

This non-surgical procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline to prevent further gum disease from progressing. We use the EMS AIRFLOW® technology, gently and efficiently removing biofilm, plaque and calculus leaving your teeth smooth and clean. We still utilize traditional ultrasonic and hand scaling and root planing in situations that require it.  

Antibiotics

Antibiotics can help control bacterial infections and reduce inflammation.  Antibiotics are sometimes necessary before and or after certain dental procedures for tooth, gum, and sinus infections. If you require antibiotic treatment, your Dentists at Sycamore Dental are trained to prescribe the right one for your needs.

Laser Periodontal Therapy

We use the Solea® laser system to remove diseased tissue and bacteria from the periodontal pockets, promoting healing and reducing pocket depth without incisions. This aids the patient's ability to keep the area cleansed to prevent infection and reduces recovery time.
