You Deserve Healthy, Strong Gums

It starts with plaque buildup and can progress to affect the bone supporting your teeth. We believe in early intervention, providing treatments that target the disease at every stage to preserve your dental health.

We Picture a World Where Your Gums are in Perfect Health

At Hayes Family Dentistry, we take a proactive approach to preventing gum disease and its associated risks, keeping you informed and confident in your oral care.

Our comprehensive periodontal treatments include:

• Scaling and Root Planing: This deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar from below and above the gum line, providing a smooth surface for the gums to reattach to the teeth and preventing further disease progression.
• Gum Grafts: For receding gums, gum grafts restore the tissue to protect the roots of your teeth, enhancing both appearance and health.
• Perio Maintenance: Following initial treatment, regular periodontal maintenance is critical. These sessions help maintain gum health and prevent the recurrence of disease by combining cleaning with ongoing examination and care.
• Laser Therapy: A minimally invasive option that targets infected tissue with precision, promoting faster healing and less discomfort compared to traditional methods.
