We welcome patients at all five of our convenient locations: Reno, Sparks, Sun Valley, North Valleys, and Damonte Ranch. We’re here to help you stay ahead of gum disease with proactive care.

Why Gum Health Matters

Gum disease begins silently—when plaque builds up on teeth and hardens into tartar, it can move below the gum line and start damaging the soft tissue, bone, and tooth roots. Without professional dental cleanings, this process can go unnoticed until serious symptoms appear.

But with regular checkups and cleanings, we can catch the earliest signs and stop gum disease in its tracks—before it ever becomes a problem.

Warning Signs Of Periodontal Disease:

If left unchecked, gum disease can lead to:

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Receding gums
  • Bad breath that won’t go away
  • Tender or painful gums
  • Loose teeth or gumline infections

At this stage, deep cleaning and maintenance are needed—but with preventive care, it can often be avoided altogether.

Gum Disease Prevention

Taking care of your gums now can help you avoid more serious treatments later. Here’s how we help:

  • Gentle cleanings that remove plaque and tartar
  • Routine exams to catch issues early
  • Personalized guidance on brushing, flossing, and oral habits
  • A friendly team that puts your comfort first
