Protecting YourFoundation.
From a deeper cleaning to a gum graft, periodontal therapy protects the foundation your teeth depend on — and it's never too late to start treating gum disease.
About This Service
Periodontal (gum) disease rarely announces itself loudly — it's more often bleeding gums that seem normal, or gums that have started to recede. Left alone, it can progress and eventually threaten the bone and tissue that hold your teeth in place. Treated early, it's very manageable.
Signs your gums may need attention
- Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing
- Redness, puffiness, or tenderness along the gumline
- Gum recession or teeth that look longer than they used to
- Persistent bad breath
How we treat it
Depending on how advanced things are, treatment might mean a more thorough cleaning routine, scaling and root planing (a deeper cleaning below the gumline), or, for more significant recession, a gum graft to restore and protect the area. We'll walk you through exactly what we're seeing and why we're recommending a particular next step.
Consistent periodontal care protects more than your gums — it protects the long-term health of the teeth themselves, and it pairs naturally with our holistic approach to whole-body health. If it's been a while since your last general dentistry cleaning, or you've noticed any of the signs above, let's get you back on schedule.

I met both doctors, and both were friendly and courteous. Dr. Ramellini (wife) will be doing my dental work, and was impressed with her knowledge and intuitive insight.
My appointment was a great experience. Everyone I met was very friendly. Probably the most thorough cleaning and exam I have ever had. I know what problem areas I have and how much it will cost to fix and in what sequence you recommend the repairs.
I was very pleased with the cleaning by Abra. Tammy was very pleasant and helpful. I left feeling very comfortable about the visit.
