Receive Proper Treatment for a Healthy Smile

If you've been diagnosed with gum disease, there are a variety of treatment options depending on the details and severity of the problem. With 26 years of experience, Midwest Periodontics and Implantology PC always starts with the least invasive options, which are non-surgical. In more serious cases, surgery may be necessary.

Periodontal disease (also known as "gum disease" or "Pyorrhea") is an ongoing bacterial infection in the gums and bone which support your teeth. If not treated, this ongoing infection can cause you to lose your teeth.

It is important to treat early gingival disease by keeping regular dental visits to avoid it from progressing to more advanced levels such as periodontitis.
