Some of the most common signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or tender gums, bleeding when you brush or floss, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and teeth that feel loose or have shifted. During your visit to Dentistry of Mendham, our team will perform a thorough oral examination to evaluate the health of your gums and recommend the best course of treatment for your individual needs.

Home care is an extremely important part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums, but even excellent home care cannot prevent bacteria and plaque. If the plaque is not removed, it can harden, becoming calculus. We will recommend a periodontal maintenance program that is best for you based on how quickly you develop calculus and your past and current periodontal health. During your maintenance visits, our dedicated team will perform an oral examination as well as a dental cleaning. Our dentist will evaluate your gum tissue, check for signs of inflammation or infection, and recommend the most effective treatment to keep your smile healthy and strong.

Cosmetic periodontal surgery includes, but is not limited to Crown Lengthening, Soft Tissue Grafts, and Bone Grafting.  These procedures can enhance your smile by correcting problems like long or short teeth, uneven gum line, receding gums, exposed roots, and indentations in the gums or jawbone. Our practice offers cosmetic dentistry procedures that can help you achieve the confident, polished smile you've always wanted.

Whether you are looking to improve the appearance of your gum line or address a functional concern, our staff will guide you through every step of the process so you feel comfortable and confident in your care.

Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical procedure used to treat gum disease.  During the scaling process, specialized dental instruments are used to remove dental plaque and calculus from beneath the gums.  Planing is the procedure used to smooth the tooth's root after the scaling process.  Root planing helps the gums heal and reattach themselves to a cleaner and smoother root surface. This procedure is an important part of keeping your dental health on track and preventing further damage to your teeth and gums.

For adults who have been diagnosed with early or moderate gum disease, scaling and root planing is often the first recommended treatment before considering more advanced options.
