Periodontic services at Northlake Dental Studio focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease to protect long-term oral health. Gum disease is caused by plaque and tartar buildup and is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Dr. Jack Margavitch and our team monitor gum health closely to identify concerns early. Early-stage gum disease, known as gingivitis, may cause redness, swelling, bleeding, or bad breath. Without treatment, it can progress to periodontitis and lead to bone loss and tooth instability. Periodontal care helps preserve healthy gums, teeth, and overall wellness.

Diagnosis
Periodontal diagnosis begins with a thorough evaluation of the gums and supporting structures. Measurements are taken to assess pocket depth, inflammation, and bone support. Early detection helps prevent the progression of gum disease. Diagnostic findings guide personalized treatment recommendations. Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective periodontal care.

Deep Cleaning
Deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, treats active gum disease below the gumline. Plaque, tartar, and bacteria are removed from periodontal pockets. Root surfaces are smoothed to help gums heal and reattach. This treatment reduces inflammation and helps stop disease progression. Deep cleaning supports healthier gums and long-term tooth stability.
