Periodontal Care
Protect Your Gums. Preserve Your Smile.
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth. When gum disease goes untreated, it can lead to tooth loss, bone damage, and even affect your overall health. That’s why we take gum care seriously—catching problems early and treating them with proven, gentle techniques.
Dr. Bubernak provides periodontal care focused on prevention, maintenance, and targeted treatment for gum disease at all stages. Whether you’re noticing signs like bleeding gums or just want to protect your long-term health, we tailor your care to fit your needs and comfort.
With regular cleanings, advanced cleanings (scaling and root planing), and ongoing monitoring, we help restore gum health and protect the teeth that depend on it. Healthy gums aren’t just about preventing disease—they’re key to a confident smile and lifelong oral wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes gum disease?
Gum disease is usually caused by a buildup of plaque and bacteria along the gumline. If not removed, it can lead to inflammation, infection, and eventually damage to the bone and tissue that support your teeth.
Does periodontal treatment hurt?
Most patients feel little to no discomfort. We use local anesthesia during deep cleanings, and most procedures are gentle. You may have slight tenderness afterward, but it typically fades within a day or two.
How often do I need periodontal cleanings?
After initial treatment, most patients benefit from cleanings every 3–4 months. These visits remove bacteria and prevent further progression of gum disease.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Gingivitis—the earliest stage of gum disease—is reversible with professional care and good oral hygiene. More advanced cases (periodontitis) can’t be reversed, but they can be controlled with ongoing treatment.
