Enhance Your Smile Foundation

Cosmetic and periodontal gum treatment focuses on improving both the health and appearance of your gums. By addressing disease, imbalance, or excess tissue, our team helps protect your teeth, support overall health, and create a more confident smile with results designed to last.

Healthier Gums

Treatment helps reduce infection and inflammation, creating a healthier environment around your teeth. 

Reduced Tooth Loss

Treating gum issues early helps protect the bone and tissue that keep your teeth stable. 

Fresher Breath

Managing gum disease can reduce odor-causing bacteria that contribute to chronic bad breath. 

Improved Smile Balance

Gum reshaping creates a more even gumline, improving symmetry and overall smile appearance. 

Comfortable Care

Modern techniques help ensure treatment is gentle while still delivering effective, lasting results. 

Whole-Body Support

Healthier gums may reduce risks linked to systemic conditions connected to chronic gum inflammation.

Discover the Power of Healthy & Beautiful Gums

During your consultation, Dr. Roderick will discuss treatment options to optimize your gum health. You may need gum disease treatment, which involves a deep cleaning known as scaling and root planing. This nonsurgical approach eliminates harmful bacteria, removes plaque and tartar below the gumline, and smooths root surfaces to encourage healthy gum reattachment. This care is crucial for restoring and maintaining your gum health.

We also offer advanced treatments to enhance your smile's appearance. These procedures include gum reshaping to create a more balanced and symmetrical gumline. For patients with a gummy smile, you can remove excess gum tissue, revealing more of your natural tooth structure. These cosmetic treatments improve the aesthetics of your smile and contribute to better oral health by creating a more maintainable gum contour.

Do Good for Your Smile

Your gums play an essential part in the health and appearance of your smile. When your gums are healthy, they offer a strong foundation for your teeth and protect them from harmful bacteria. The beauty of your gums can impact the overall appearance of your smile. Uneven, excessive, or receding gums can create a disproportionate or unhealthy look.

No matter which treatments you pursue, you can opt for sedation to eliminate your anxiety. We will review which type of sedation is ideal for you based on your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic and Periodontal Gum Treatments

Is gum reshaping painful?

We do everything we can to make this treatment (and our many other treatments) as pain-free as they can be. We offer local anesthetic along with three levels of dental sedation to block pain during your procedure. We'll also advise you on what to do as you recover, so you have as little pain as possible.

How much does gum reshaping cost?

Each patient is unique and every case is different, so it is hard to give an exact price on your gum reshaping procedure. We encourage you to come into our office for a consultation so we can examine you and develop a treatment plan. Then we will be able to give you a price on your treatment, and you'll have the information you need to make a good decision.

What causes gum disease?

Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that builds up around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating "pockets" where more bacteria accumulate. In advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and possibly fall out.

The minute you walk into Dr. Roderick's office you are greeted with warmth and friendliness from head to toe. Not only is Dr. Roderick outstanding, thorough, and direct. He actually spends the time to go over concerns he wants to treat going forward. Michelle the hygienest is excellent and very pleasant. Holly the office coordinator is bubbly and fun she certainly takes the edge off going to the dentist. Last but not least Priscilla Dr. Roderick's assistant is super and very personable. This dental practice is Top Notch you won't find one better in the valley!! I also want to add that Dr. Roderick saved my husband from some bad dental work that gave him a terrible infection two months ago. He truly was caring in responding to me reaching out on an emergency situation on a Sunday. He even went as far as setting him set up with an Oral surgeon that was all set up for Monday he was spot on with diagnosis. We really appreciate you Dr. Roderick and your amazing staff. You are a great team! I highly recommend this dental practice.
