Periodontal Disease Treatment in Frisco
Get Your Gums in Shape!
Gum health often takes the back burner in people’s minds when it comes to oral health, unless they are faced with signs and symptoms of active periodontal (gum) disease. However, gum health is just as important as having healthy teeth. Performing even the most basic tasks without healthy gums can become a constant struggle. If you notice that your gums are feeling tender, sensitive, or turning a red or purple color, call our dental office right away to receive comprehensive periodontal disease treatment in Frisco, TX!
Scaling & Root Planing
Our periodontal experts perform deep cleanings to remove harmful plaque and tartar and stop gum infections from spreading. This deep cleaning method targets the entire gum, including beneath and above the gum tissue, which goes further than traditional cleanings. Deep cleaning consists of scaling (which involves removing plaque from areas above and beneath gum tissue) and root planing (which includes smoothing out the roots of teeth so they can reattach to the gums.) However, our team strives to make every dental treatment as comfortable as possible.
Antibiotic Therapy
Following your comprehensive deep-cleaning treatment, we use OralDNA testing to confirm which pathogens are putting your gum health at risk. Using this advanced dental data, we curate a treatment plan for your unique needs and help you follow a path toward long-lasting, healthy gums.
Laser Periodontal Therapy
Too often, severe levels of gum disease can leave gum tissue beyond repair. In these unfortunate cases, many dentists immediately remove gum tissue before necessary. At Stonebriar Smile Design, we do everything possible to maintain as much healthy gum tissue as possible. By implementing Waterlase soft tissue laser in treatments, we perform gum therapy with greater precision, keeping your healthy gum tissue intact. Plus, laser gum treatments reduce recovery time!

The Perio Protect Tray is a convenient at-home treatment that helps you fight periodontal/gum disease while away from our dental office. We will give
We will give you a custom-fitted mouth tray and topical antibiotic to wear for a certain amount of time to reduce your infection. This system is extremely effective because it delivers medicine directly to the areas of your mouth where gum disease bacteria tend to gather.
