Gentle Gum Disease Therapy Revives Your Smile

At Silver Leaf Dentistry, our team performs gum disease treatment with a mixture of tried-and-true methods and state-of-the-art instruments. The process is mostly divided into two related steps called scaling and root planing:

  • We use the gentle vibrations of our ultrasonic scaler to remove plaque from your tooth surface and below your gum line.
  • Then, we perform a detailed cleaning of your tooth roots to remove bacteria from between your teeth and gums, which reduces inflammation.

If you are nervous about your treatment, we have several ways to help relieve your dental anxiety. We will also numb you if necessary for optimal comfort.

To know for sure if you have gum disease, you should visit our office to get a professional diagnosis. That said, you may have gum disease if your gums bleed easily while brushing and flossing, feel tender, or appear swollen or red. You may also notice chronic bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth or teeth that are highly sensitive to hot or cold temperatures.

Keep your whole mouth healthy! Call Silver Leaf Dentistry today for gentle gum disease treatment in Longmont, CO: 720-504-2539.

“I have a major fear of the dentist but at Silverleaf I feel more relaxed than ever before. The waiting area is like sitting at home, the Netflix while being worked on is a great distraction, and everyone there is so understanding, helpful, caring and kind.  I need a lot of work done and no one ever made me feel like I was a bad person for waiting as long …” Read More – Amanda
“Incredibly friendly staff. They talked me through everything they were doing and made sure I was comfortable at all times. They were also very flexible with their schedule and allowed me to stay and have my teeth fixed the same day as my cleaning.” – Angela
“Too many dentists now are part of big corporate chains that seem not to much connection with their patients. I like this dentist more every time I come back.  Everyone is really friendly and positive even early in the morning. Being that it had been years since I regularly went to the dentist, I am still fascinated with all the new and modern technologies used at this office to provide …” Read More – Evan
“Dr Wallin is great with children, he has cared for all 4 of mine, and emphasizes not only how but why they should take care of their teeth, showing them the X-rays and pictures and communicating directly with them. It really helps them to feel responsible! The office hours make it easy to get an appointment, and Amy at the front desk is so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.” – J.S.

“I am always pretty skeptical about finding a new dentist because I am familiar with this field, having worked in dentistry in the past. I felt pretty good when I walked into the office, not only be welcomed by Dr. Wallin himself, but to see such a beautiful office. I was here for a general cleaning, and exam. This took all of about an hour and a half, which is …” Read More – Megan
“The entire staff here are very nice and competent. My daughter and I just went for our check-up and cleaning today.

Common Questions About Gum Disease Treatment

What is gum disease treatment?

Gum disease treatment is designed to eliminate gum disease from your mouth. We offer deep cleaning using scaling and root planing to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around your gumline. Using an ultrasonic scaler, we can painlessly remove infection from the tooth’s surface. Then we smooth out the damaged area over the root to encourage regrowth of the gum tissue.

Is gum disease treatment painful?

At our practice gum disease treatment isn’t painful at all. That’s because we make sure to numb your gums with a topical anesthetic and then use an ultrasonic scaler that gently vibrates to clean under the gumline. There’s no need for cutting or stitching. Most patients need no more than local anesthesia to stay comfortable, but we can provide more dental anxiety relief if needed.

Do I need gum disease treatment?

If your gums feel tender or bleed while brushing, you may need gum disease treatment. These are symptoms of early-stage gum disease. If the disease progresses, you may also notice that your gums begin receding away from your teeth and that you have bad breath no matter how often you brush.
