Restore Gum Health with Periodontal Care at Altoona Smiles

Diagnosis of Periodontal Disease
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your gum health, checking for signs such as bleeding, gum recession, or deep periodontal pockets. Using advanced tools like digital X-rays and periodontal charting, we identify the stage and severity of disease. Early diagnosis is the key to halting progression and creating a customized plan that protects your gums, teeth, and bone health.
Scaling & Root Planing
When gum disease advances beyond routine cleaning, scaling and root planing provides a highly effective non-surgical solution. Scaling removes plaque and tartar from beneath the gumline, while root planing smooths root surfaces so gums can reattach more securely. This treatment reduces inflammation, supports healing, and helps prevent tooth loss by stopping infection in its tracks.
