San Francisco Marina Aesthetic Dentistry Perio Therapy

Gentle, Effective Gum Disease Treatment

Comprehensive Periodontal Care

Periodontal gum disease is a common but serious dental condition caused by bacteria and plaque buildup along the gumline, leading to inflammation, bleeding gums, gum recession, and bone loss if left untreated. In its early stage, known as gingivitis, gum disease can often be reversed with professional dental cleanings and improved oral hygiene.

More advanced periodontal disease requires targeted periodontal treatments such as:

  • Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning) – A non-surgical treatment that cleans beneath the gums and smooths tooth roots to help gums heal and reattach.

  • Laser Gum Therapy – Uses advanced laser technology to target bacteria and infected tissue while promoting faster healing and less discomfort. Learn more.

  • Antibacterial Therapy – Localized antibiotics may be placed around affected teeth to reduce infection and inflammation.

  • Periodontal Maintenance – Ongoing, more frequent cleanings designed to manage gum disease and prevent its progression.

  • Gum Disease Evaluations – Comprehensive periodontal exams to assess gum health, bone levels, and treatment needs.

With early diagnosis and personalized care from an experienced dentist, gum disease can be effectively managed to protect your gums, preserve your natural teeth, and support long-term oral health.

SUZANNE

Without a doubt Sonal Patel DDS is the very best dentist my mouth has encountered in my 70 plus years. She is gentle, thorough, careful and highly professional. I recommend her to anyone and everyone!

SCOTT

When I first started going to Dr Patel, my teeth were in pretty bad shape. Over the years, her guidance has fully restored my teeth and gums back into great shape and that has improved my overall health in a big way!

ANTONIO

Dr. Patel and her amazing staff were incredible. Their kindness and compassion towards me was something I had never experienced in the US. I cannot thank them enough – and I could not recommend them higher.
