Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong, lasting smile. At our Irvine location, we provide comprehensive periodontal treatment designed to halt the progression of gum disease and restore oral health. Whether you're dealing with mild gingivitis or advanced periodontitis, our team offers personalized solutions focused on deep cleaning, inflammation control, and long-term maintenance. With early detection and customized care, we help protect your teeth, gums, and overall well-being one step at a time.
Your periodontal care begins with a thorough gum evaluation using visual exams and digital imaging. Based on your diagnosis, treatment may involve scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), antibacterial rinses, and regular maintenance visits. In more advanced cases, referral to a periodontist or surgical intervention may be recommended. Our goal is to remove infection-causing plaque and tartar while supporting gum healing and tissue reattachment. Progress is closely monitored to ensure lasting results.
Before beginning treatment, we will assess the severity of your gum condition and review your medical and dental history. Maintaining excellent at-home oral hygiene is key. You may be advised to avoid tobacco, manage existing health conditions, and temporarily adjust medications. Staying hydrated and eating a nutritious diet before your appointment also supports healing. We’ll walk you through everything to ensure you're comfortable and confident about what’s ahead.
Redness, swelling, and bleeding while brushing are often early indicators of gingivitis a condition that can be reversed with prompt care.
Scaling and root planing target below-the-gumline buildup, giving your gums a clean surface to heal and reattach to the teeth.
Routine periodontal maintenance visits are essential to keep harmful bacteria at bay and prevent recurrence of disease.
Your retainer journey begins with precise measurements or digital scans to ensure a snug, comfortable fit. After the retainer is created, you’ll return for a fitting appointment, where our team will explain how to use and clean it properly. You'll also receive guidelines on how long to wear it each day to prevent relapse.
Over time, we’ll monitor your dental alignment and adjust your retention plan if needed. With proper care and occasional evaluations, your retainer will help preserve your straightened smile for the long haul.
