Periodontal Treatment
Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong smile. At SmileWise Dentistry of South Miami, we specialize in periodontal treatment to prevent and reverse gum disease, combining advanced technology with personalized care to restore balance and vitality to your smile.
Understanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease — commonly known as gum disease — is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting bone around your teeth. When left untreated, it can lead to inflammation, gum recession, tooth mobility, and even tooth loss.
Early diagnosis and timely treatment are key to preserving your smile. Our skilled dental team uses gentle, evidence-based techniques to stop the progression of gum disease and promote healing.
