Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have gum disease?
Common signs include bleeding when brushing, bad breath, receding gums, or loose teeth. However, gum disease can also progress without obvious symptoms, so regular evaluations are important. We can assess your gum health and catch issues early.
Are these treatments painful?
We prioritize patient comfort. Many periodontal treatments, especially non-surgical ones, involve minimal discomfort. For more advanced procedures, we offer numbing, gentle techniques, and post-care instructions to ease recovery.
Do I need a referral to get started?
No referral is needed. You're welcome to schedule a consultation directly with us, whether you're seeking a second opinion or just looking for answers about your gum health.
What if my teeth are already loose?
We offer several options for stabilizing loose teeth, including splinting techniques, bite adjustment, and in some cases, surgical procedures that help regenerate supporting bone or tissue.
Will my insurance cover periodontal care?
Coverage varies depending on your plan. Our office staff can help you verify your benefits and estimate out-of-pocket costs. We’ll always talk through the financial side before beginning any treatment.
