Periodontics
Caring for your gums and supporting bone structure for a long-lasting, healthy smile.
Healthy gums and supporting bones are the foundation of all oral health. Even if your teeth appear strong, gum inflammation or periodontal disease can lead to tooth mobility, tooth loss, or impact other dental treatments in the future.
At SDC Dental Center, we offer comprehensive Periodontics services led by a team of specialist dental professors in gum and periodontal diseases. Equipped with modern diagnostic technology, we care for general patients, the elderly, as well as complex cases involving multiple oral health issues.
What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque and tartar along the gumline. If left untreated, the inflammation can spread and destroy the bone that supports your teeth.
Stages of Periodontal Disease
1. Gingivitis (Early Stage)
This is the initial stage of gum disease, which can still be reversed and healed with proper care. Common symptoms include:
- Swollen or red gums
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
2. Periodontitis (Advanced Stage)
As the inflammation progresses and becomes more severe, it begins to destroy the supporting bone structure. This leads to:
- Receding gums
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Pus around the gums
- Difficulty or pain while chewing
- An increased risk of tooth loss
Warning Signs That You Should See a Periodontist
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath (chronic halitosis)
- Swollen, red, or tender gums
- Receding gums (teeth looking longer)
- Loose teeth or new gaps forming between teeth
- Pus or signs of infection around the gums
- Pain or discomfort while chewing
If you experience any of these symptoms, you should seek a dental examination as soon as possible. Early-stage periodontal disease often presents no obvious warning signs, though these issues can easily be detected during a routine 6-month dental checkup.
Routine dental exams and teeth cleaning (scaling) every 6 months can significantly reduce the risk of periodontal disease and help catch any issues in their earliest stages. After all, healthy gums are the essential foundation for long-lasting, strong teeth.

Peri-implant Tissue Maintenance
Patients with dental implants require consistent care for the gums and bone surrounding the implant. If inflammation occurs (peri-implantitis), it can compromise the stability of the implant.
At SDC Dental Center, we provide continuous monitoring and specialized care for the gums around dental implants—particularly for elderly patients or individuals with co-existing medical conditions.
