PERIODONTOLOGY · GUM DISEASE TREATMENT

Stop the infection. Protect your foundation.

Gum disease can progress quietly until the tissues and bone supporting the teeth are damaged. Early diagnosis and targeted periodontal treatment can help control infection and protect long-term oral health.

Samarani Clinic treats gingivitis and periodontitis using non-surgical deep cleaning, laser periodontal therapy and targeted antibacterial support according to disease severity.

THE SILENT THREAT

Small signs can reveal
a bigger problem.

Gingivitis and periodontitis often progress with little or no pain. Bleeding gums, persistent bad breath or recession may be early signs that bacterial inflammation is affecting the tissues around the teeth.

As the disease advances, periodontal pockets deepen and the bone supporting the teeth can be lost, eventually leading to mobility or tooth loss.

01

Bleeding Gums

Bleeding during brushing or flossing can be an early sign of gingival inflammation.

02

Persistent Bad Breath

Bacteria trapped in deeper periodontal pockets can contribute to chronic halitosis.

03

Receding Gums

Gum tissue can pull away from the tooth, making teeth appear longer and exposing root surfaces.

04

Red, Swollen or Tender Gums

Persistent inflammation can change the color, shape and comfort of otherwise healthy gum tissue.

05

Loose Teeth

Mobility can indicate more advanced loss of the bone and tissue that normally support the teeth.

NON-SURGICAL DEEP CLEANING

Clean below
the gumline.

Scaling and root planing is the cornerstone of treatment for many early to moderate periodontal cases.

Hardened tartar and bacterial toxins are removed from below the gumline, while root surfaces are smoothed to create a cleaner environment where the gums can heal and reattach more closely.

LASER GUM THERAPY · LANAP®

Target disease.
Preserve healthy tissue.

For more advanced periodontal cases, LANAP® laser therapy may be used as a minimally invasive alternative to conventional gum surgery.

The PerioLase® laser targets diseased tissue and bacteria while leaving healthy tissue as undisturbed as possible. The approach avoids scalpels and sutures and is designed to support healing around the tooth.

TARGETED PERIODONTAL THERAPY

Treat the source.
Protect the support.

01

Reduce Infection

Bacterial deposits and infected tissue are targeted according to the depth and severity of disease.

02

Reduce Pocket Depth

Treatment aims to create healthier conditions around the roots so the gums can heal more closely around the teeth.

03

Protect Bone

Controlling active periodontal inflammation helps reduce the risk of continued destruction of supporting bone.

04

Support Long-Term Stability

Ongoing periodontal maintenance is used to help keep the disease under control after active treatment.

TARGETED ANTIBACTERIAL SUPPORT

When cleaning alone
is not enough.

Some periodontal infections benefit from additional antibacterial support after mechanical cleaning.

Prescription antimicrobial rinses or localized time-release antibiotic gels may be used in selected periodontal pockets to reduce bacterial load at the source.

ORAL HEALTH & OVERALL HEALTH

Your gums are part
of the bigger picture.

Chronic periodontal inflammation has been associated in medical research with systemic conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and respiratory disease.

Treating gum disease therefore focuses not only on saving teeth, but also on reducing a persistent source of oral inflammation and supporting overall health.

BONE & GUM GRAFTING

Rebuild what disease
has taken away.

Advanced periodontal disease can result in loss of supporting bone or gum tissue.

In selected cases, bone or gum grafting may be recommended to restore lost tissue, protect exposed roots or rebuild a stronger foundation for future restorative or implant treatment.

YOUR PERIODONTAL JOURNEY

Diagnosis first.
Then treatment.

01

Periodontal Evaluation

We assess gum inflammation, recession, bleeding and other clinical signs around each tooth.

02

Pocket Measurements

Periodontal pocket depths are measured to help establish the severity and distribution of disease.

03

Bone Assessment

Dental imaging is reviewed where needed to evaluate the level of bone supporting the teeth.

04

Personalized Plan

Treatment is selected according to the stage of disease and may include deep cleaning, laser therapy, antibacterial treatment or regenerative procedures.

25+ YEARS OF PERIODONTAL EXPERIENCE

Protect the teeth
by treating the foundation.

Samarani Clinic combines periodontal expertise, advanced diagnostics and minimally invasive treatment options to manage gum disease at different stages.

The goal is to stop progression, preserve natural teeth and create a healthier foundation that can be maintained over time.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before your
treatment.

What are the early signs of gum disease?

Common signs include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, redness or swelling, recession and deeper periodontal pockets.

What is scaling and root planing?

It is a non-surgical deep cleaning procedure that removes hardened tartar and bacterial deposits from below the gumline and smooths the root surface.

What is LANAP® laser gum therapy?

LANAP® uses a periodontal laser to target diseased tissue and bacteria in more advanced cases while minimizing trauma to surrounding healthy tissue.

Can gum disease lead to tooth loss?

Yes. Advanced periodontitis can destroy the bone and tissues supporting the teeth, eventually causing mobility and tooth loss.

How is gum disease diagnosed?

Diagnosis includes a periodontal examination, measurement of pocket depths and assessment of supporting bone using imaging when clinically indicated.
