What Are Periodontic Treatments?

Periodontic treatments are designed to treat gum diseases that affect the soft tissues surrounding and supporting your teeth.

If untreated, gum disease can cause tooth loss and impact your overall health. Our periodontal care services include a range of non-surgical and surgical options, such as:

Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning treatment to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline.
Gum Grafting: A procedure to restore receded gums and protect your teeth from further damage.
Periodontal Surgery: Advanced surgery to correct issues with gum tissue and bone loss.

Types of Periodontic Treatments We Offer

Scaling and Root Planing: Effective in the early stages of gum disease to clean below the gumline and prevent further damage.
Gum Grafting: Restores lost gum tissue to protect the roots of your teeth from damage caused by receding gums.
Periodontal Surgery: Minimally invasive surgery to address more severe gum disease and restore gum health.

Why Choose Us for Periodontic Care?

When you need periodontal disease treatment in San Antonio, you want a clinic that offers expertise, compassionate care, and advanced treatment options.

The Importance of Periodontic Treatments for Your Overall Health

Healthy gums do more than support your teeth—they play a vital role in your overall wellness.

Untreated gum disease has been linked to systemic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues. By treating periodontal problems early, you protect both your smile and your long-term health.

Our team at Still Water Dental Care and Orthodontics focuses on early diagnosis, gentle treatment, and long-term maintenance to keep your gums healthy.

Prevent Gum Disease with Regular Checkups

Preventing gum disease is always better than treating it. Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) treats disease below the gumline — routine deep teeth cleaning and prevention visits keep you from needing it again.

Regular visits ensure that your gums and teeth stay healthy for the long term.

Why is periodontic care important?

Periodontic care prevents gum disease from worsening, reduces the risk of tooth loss, and helps maintain overall oral and systemic health.

Who needs periodontal treatments?

Periodontal treatments are ideal for anyone with gum disease symptoms such as bleeding gums, gum recession, or persistent bad breath.

Are these treatments painful?

Periodontal treatments are designed to be as comfortable as possible. Our team uses advanced techniques and anesthesia to ensure minimal discomfort.

What is a deep cleaning, and is it the same as a regular cleaning?

No — a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) goes below the gumline to remove tartar from the tooth roots, treating active gum disease. A regular cleaning polishes above the gumline to prevent it.

How much does a deep cleaning cost in San Antonio?

It's typically billed per quadrant and most insurance plans cover it when gum disease is diagnosed. We verify your benefits and quote the exact out-of-pocket before starting.
