Periodontics
What We Do
Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong, beautiful smile. At Southern Family Dentistry, our periodontics care focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease to protect your teeth and overall oral health. Whether you need a routine evaluation or advanced treatment, our team provides gentle, effective solutions tailored to your needs.
What to Expect During Your Visit
During your appointment, our dentist will examine your gums and take detailed digital images to assess bone levels and detect any signs of infection or gum recession. Based on your diagnosis, we may recommend a deep cleaning procedure (scaling and root planing), ongoing maintenance visits, or advanced treatments to restore gum health and prevent further damage.
