Periodontal care focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gum disease and conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Proper periodontal care helps maintain gum health, prevent tooth loss and promote overall oral hygiene.

Dr. Takanari Miyamoto and Dr. Melissa Lang are deeply committed to addressing the complexities of gum disease, a condition that not only compromises the integrity of your oral health but has been linked to broader systemic health issues, including cardiovascular disease. Our experienced periodontists understand the critical nature of maintaining healthy gums and are dedicated to providing comprehensive care to mitigate these risks.

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, manifests through various symptoms that may seem benign at first glance but can escalate into severe complications if left untreated. These symptoms include:

  • Red, swollen gums
  • Gum recession
  • Easy bleeding of the gums
  • Bone loss
  • Tooth pain and tooth loss
  • Tooth mobility

These symptoms are indicators of underlying periodontal issues. It is crucial to note that these symptoms can occur with or without pain, making regular dental checkups imperative for early detection and intervention.

At Metro West Orthodontics & Periodontics, we prioritize a patient-centered approach, ensuring that each individual receives personalized, compassionate care. During your initial appointment, our periodontists and team will perform a thorough diagnostic process to assess the severity of your condition. Based on this evaluation, we will craft a tailored treatment plan aimed at restoring your gum health to its optimum state.
