What Is Periodontal Therapy?
Periodontal therapy is the treatment of gum disease, an infection of the gums and the bone that supports your teeth. It targets the plaque and tartar that build up below the gumline, where everyday brushing and flossing can't reach. Caught early, gum disease is highly treatable, and therapy can stop it from progressing to tooth loss. At Lava Dental, we tailor each treatment to the health of your gums, from a focused deep cleaning to ongoing maintenance, keeping you comfortable every step of the way.
The Benefits of Periodontal Therapy
Healthier Gums
Therapy clears the bacteria and tartar driving infection, calming inflammation so your gums can heal and stay firm and pink.
Tooth Preservation
By stopping gum disease before it destroys supporting bone, treatment helps you keep your natural teeth for far longer.
Fresher Breath
Removing the buildup and bacteria below the gumline tackles a common, stubborn source of chronic bad breath.
Whole-Body Health
Healthy gums are linked to better overall health, since gum disease has been connected to heart disease, diabetes, and more.
Our Periodontal Therapy Process
- 01
Warm Welcome
A friendly team member greets you by name and helps you settle comfortably into the chair, with time to ask questions before we begin.
- 02
Gum Evaluation
We carefully measure the spaces around your teeth and check for inflammation, recession, and bleeding to gauge your gum health.
- 03
Deep Cleaning
Through scaling and root planing, we gently remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooth the roots so gums can reattach.
- 04
Targeted Treatment
When helpful, we add laser therapy or antibiotics to clear lingering bacteria and support faster, more complete healing.
- 05
Ongoing Maintenance
We set up a personalized cleaning schedule and share home-care tips to keep your gums healthy and prevent disease from returning.
Signs You May Need Periodontal Therapy
Notice any of these? Schedule a visit — early care is easier care.
Bleeding Gums
Gums that bleed when you brush or floss are one of the earliest and most common signs of gum disease that therapy can reverse.
Swollen Gums
Red, tender, or puffy gums signal inflammation and infection that periodontal treatment is designed to calm and heal.
Receding Gums
When gums pull away from the teeth or your teeth start to look longer, it often points to gum disease that needs attention.
Bad Breath
Chronic bad breath or a bad taste that won't go away can be caused by bacteria below the gumline that therapy removes.

- What’s the cost of periodontal therapy in Houston, TX?

- Most patients are comfortable throughout, since we numb the area for deep cleanings and use gentle techniques. Many tell us the treatment was far easier than they expected, with only mild tenderness afterward.
