Whether you're here for a routine cleaning or a more advanced surgical procedure, you’ll receive expert care tailored to your specific needs.

Let’s walk you through the range of services we provide—so you can better understand how we support your oral health at every stage.


Preventive Periodontal Care in Portland ME

Your gums deserve just as much attention as your teeth. That’s why preventive care is the foundation of what we do. By staying one step ahead of gum disease, we help you avoid more serious (and costly) treatments down the road.


Non-Surgical Treatments: Effective, Minimally Invasive Solutions

When gum disease begins to take hold, non-surgical treatments are often the first line of defense. These procedures are gentle, effective, and designed to halt disease progression without the need for incisions.

  • Scaling and Root Planing – Deep cleaning below the gumline to remove bacteria and smooth root surfaces.
  • Periodontal Therapy – A customized plan that may combine several treatments to restore gum health.
  • Laser Gum Therapy – Using precise laser technology to target infection with minimal discomfort or downtime.
  • Gum Contouring – Aesthetic reshaping of the gumline to improve symmetry and reduce excess tissue.

Surgical Periodontal Treatments: Rebuilding What’s Been Lost

Sometimes, advanced gum disease causes structural damage that requires surgical intervention. We perform these procedures with precision, using modern techniques that promote healing and long-term stability.

  • Gum Surgery – Removes infected tissue and allows deeper access for cleaning and repair.
  • Osseous Surgery – Reshapes the bone around the teeth to eliminate pockets and slow disease progression.
  • Periodontal Pocket Reduction – Reduces the space between teeth and gums to limit bacterial buildup.
  • Periodontal Regeneration – Stimulates the growth of new bone and tissue to replace what’s been destroyed.
  • Gum Grafting – Transplants healthy tissue to cover exposed roots and strengthen receded gums.

Advanced Periodontal Disease Management: Taking Control Back

Gum disease doesn’t have to define your oral health journey. With proper care, even advanced cases can be managed effectively. We combine education, precision treatment, and modern technology to help you regain control of your oral health.


Additional Services: Support Beyond the Gums

While our focus is on periodontal care, we also offer complementary services that restore function, reduce pain, and enhance your comfort during treatment.
