What Is Periodontal Care?
Periodontal care focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and other soft tissue conditions. At Empower Dental Upland, we combine modern therapies with patient-focused care to stop gum disease in its tracks, restore lost tissue, and protect long-term oral health. From early-stage gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, we customize treatment plans based on your specific needs.
The Importance of Periodontal Treatment
- Stop disease progression - Scaling, root planing, and maintenance reduce harmful bacteria.
- Restore gum health - Grafting procedures repair and protect receded gums.
- Rebuild lost bone - Regeneration techniques strengthen your jaw for implants or long-term health.
- Enhance esthetics - Gum reshaping and crown lengthening balance your smile.
- Protect overall health - Treating gum disease lowers risks linked to heart disease and diabetes.
Technology That Elevates Treatment
- Laser dentistry - Gentle treatment with minimal bleeding and faster healing.
- Cone Beam CT imaging - 3D scans for precise bone and tissue diagnosis.
- Ultrasonic scalers - Comfortable, powerful deep cleanings.
- Digital Smile Design - Predictable cosmetic gum reshaping outcomes.
- Air abrasion & piezoelectric tools - Gentle, precise plaque and calculus removal.
Why You Might Need Periodontal Treatment
- Bleeding or swollen gums - A common early sign of gum disease.
- Receding gums - Exposure of tooth roots increases risk of decay and sensitivity.
- Chronic bad breath - Often caused by bacteria below the gumline.
- Loose teeth - Advanced gum disease weakens the bone supporting your teeth.
- Excess gum tissue - Can affect both oral health and esthetics.

Types of Periodontal Treatments
Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatments
Non-surgical periodontal treatments are designed to stop gum disease in its tracks, protect the supporting structures of your teeth, and keep your smile strong and healthy for years to come.
- Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning) - This two-part deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces to help gums reattach to teeth.
- Perio Protect Trays - It's a non-invasive, easy-to-use solution that delivers prescription medication directly into periodontal pockets to fight bacteria.
- Periodontal Maintenance - Following active gum disease treatment, regular periodontal maintenance visits are essential to prevent reinfection.
Surgical Periodontal Treatments
Surgical periodontal treatments are procedures that target advanced stages of gum disease. When non-surgical options like scaling and root planing are no longer effective, these surgeries allow us to remove deep bacteria, smooth damaged bone, and reshape the gum line for improved healing.
- Pocket Reduction Surgery - Gently lifts the gum tissue to clean out infection and reduce the depth of periodontal pockets.
- Osseous Surgery - Removes tartar from deep pockets and reshapes damaged bone around the teeth.
- Gingivectomy - Removes excess gum tissue and bacteria to reduce inflammation and make it easier to clean around the teeth.
