Periodontist in Arlington​, MA

Periodontal Services We Offer in Arlington

Comprehensive Periodontal Evaluation

Your appointment begins with a detailed evaluation of your gums, teeth and supporting bone. The periodontist will review your medical and dental history, examine your gum health and use appropriate dental imaging when additional information is needed for treatment planning.

Gum Disease Treatment

Gentle Dental Arlington provides periodontal care designed to manage gum disease and protect the tissues supporting your teeth. Your treatment plan will depend on the condition of your gums, the depth of the affected areas and any previous periodontal care.

Treatment recommendations may include professional deep cleaning, periodontal procedures or ongoing maintenance. Your periodontist will explain which services are appropriate before care begins.

Gum Recession Treatment

Gum recession can leave parts of the tooth surface exposed and may affect the appearance and stability of your smile. Our Arlington periodontist can evaluate the affected area and determine whether a soft tissue procedure may help protect the tooth and restore gum coverage.

Soft Tissue Procedures

Soft tissue procedures may be recommended to improve gum coverage, support dental treatment or reshape gum tissue around the teeth. The specific approach will be selected according to your gum condition, treatment goals and the location being treated.

Dental Implant Placement

A periodontist may place dental implants as part of a coordinated plan for replacing missing teeth. The Arlington team will evaluate your gum health, available bone and overall dental condition before determining whether implant treatment is appropriate.

When additional preparation is required, the periodontist will explain how it fits into the overall implant treatment plan.

Periodontal Care Around Dental Implants

Healthy gums and supporting bone are important for maintaining dental implants. The periodontal team can evaluate the tissues surrounding an existing implant and recommend appropriate treatment or maintenance when concerns are identified.
