    I had my extraction done by Dr. Klimashov and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. He made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire procedure. The front desk staff was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit smooth and stress free. Highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for quality care and a supportive team!

    Dr Mancini is the greatest dentist alive and Haley is the greatest dental hygienist period. This team is the team you want for life when it comes to watching your teeth stay in tact. I could not be more thankful for this practice and how much they have helped me keep my smile. You will not regret it.

    Dr. Goldberg, Periodontist, provided me with excellent care. He is always cheery, communicates well, and the best dentist at local anesthesia that I have ever met. The staff in the office are always friendly and helpful.

Our skilled periodontists specialize in diagnosing and treating gum disease, ensuring your gums are strong, healthy, and free from disease. With advanced technology and compassionate care, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

Comprehensive Periodontics Services at Gentle Dental in Cambridge

Understanding Periodontics

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum diseases, as well as placing dental implants. It also involves the care and maintenance of the structures that support the teeth, such as the gums and bone.

Dentists vs. Periodontists

While general dentists are trained to handle routine dental care, periodontists specialize in advanced care for gum disease and the supporting structures of your teeth. Our periodontists at Gentle Dental have received extensive training and education to handle even the most complex gum-related issues.

When Should You See a Periodontist?

You should see a periodontist if you notice signs of gum disease, such as:

  • Swollen or bleeding gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Receding gums
  • Changes in your bite or loose teeth

Early detection and treatment are key to preventing more serious conditions.

 

Services Offered by Our Periodontists

Periodontal Maintenance

Regular cleanings are essential for preventing gum disease. We offer professional maintenance cleanings to remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing can't reach.

Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning treatment that removes plaque and tartar beneath the gumline, helping to reverse early gum disease and prevent further damage.

Surgical Options

For more severe cases of gum disease, we offer surgical procedures to restore your oral health, including:

  • Gum Grafting: Restores gum tissue lost to recession.
  • Bone Grafting: Regenerates bone that has been lost due to gum disease.
  • Crown Lengthening: Removes excess gum tissue to improve the appearance of your smile or to prepare for other dental procedures.
  • Osseous Surgery: Cleans the roots of your teeth and reshapes the bone to prevent further gum recession.

 

Dental Implants

If you're missing teeth, dental implants can restore your smile and functionality. Our periodontists place implants with precision and care to ensure optimal results.

Sedation Dentistry at Gentle Dental

We understand that dental visits can be stressful, so we offer sedation options to help you feel at ease during your procedure. Whether you need mild sedation for a cleaning or deeper sedation for surgery, we have options to make your treatment as comfortable as possible.

Patient-Centered Care at Gentle Dental

At Gentle Dental, we prioritize personalized care. Our team takes the time to understand your needs and concerns, tailoring each treatment plan to suit your specific health goals. We use the latest technology to ensure your care is effective, efficient, and as comfortable as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are periodontal treatments painful?

Most treatments are performed under local anesthesia, making them comfortable for patients. Sedation options are available for those with dental anxiety or for more complex procedures.

Will my gum disease come back after treatment?

Gum disease can recur, but regular periodontal maintenance visits, good oral hygiene, and a healthy lifestyle will greatly reduce your risk.

How can I maintain my gum health at home?

Brush and floss daily, eat a balanced diet, avoid smoking, and attend regular dental check-ups. Your periodontist can recommend specialized products or routines for your situation.

Are dental implants safe for patients with gum disease?

Dental implants are safe and effective, but healthy gums are essential for success. If you have gum disease, a periodontist will treat it before proceeding with implant placement.

Will my dental insurance cover periodontal treatments?

Coverage varies, but many insurance plans offer partial benefits for periodontal care. Our Cambridge office will help navigate your insurance and discuss payment options.
