Understanding Gum Disease and Its Impacts
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues surrounding your teeth. It begins with gingivitis, characterized by red, swollen gums that bleed easily during brushing or flossing. Without proper treatment, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, where the infection damages the bone supporting your teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss.
Beyond oral health, research has established strong connections between periodontal disease and systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory illnesses. This makes early intervention and comprehensive treatment essential for both your dental and overall health.
Our Comprehensive Approach to Periodontal Care
Professional Deep Cleaning
For early-stage gum disease, we offer thorough scaling and root planing procedures, often called deep cleaning. This non-surgical approach removes bacteria-filled plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline. Our skilled hygienists carefully clean tooth surfaces and smooth the roots, creating an environment where healthy gum tissue can reattach to teeth.
Advanced LANAP Laser Therapy
Ponce Dental Studio utilizes cutting-edge laser technology for more advanced cases of gum disease. LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) therapy is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. This innovative treatment precisely targets infected tissue while preserving healthy gum tissue, promoting faster healing with significantly less discomfort than conventional methods.
Personalized Maintenance Programs
Maintaining your periodontal health after treatment is crucial. We develop customized maintenance programs featuring regular periodontal cleanings and evaluations to monitor your gum health. These preventive measures help ensure the long-term success of your treatment and prevent disease recurrence.
Treatment Options for Different Stages of Gum Disease
Early Intervention for Gingivitis
Catching gum disease in its earliest stage offers the best chance for complete reversal. Our professional cleanings remove the bacterial plaque causing inflammation, while our team provides detailed instructions for effective home care to maintain your results.
Moderate Periodontal Disease Treatment
When gum disease has progressed beyond gingivitis, we implement more targeted approaches. This may include specialized deep cleaning procedures, localized antibiotic therapy to control infection, and more frequent maintenance visits to monitor your condition.
Advanced Periodontal Care
For severe cases where significant tissue damage has occurred, we offer comprehensive surgical options. These may include pocket reduction procedures, gum grafting to address recession, and bone grafting when supporting structures have been compromised. Dr. Nia’s expertise in periodontal procedures ensures excellent outcomes even in complex cases.
The Ponce Dental Studio Difference

Our practice employs advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies to provide precise, effective periodontal care. Digital imaging allows us to detect problems early, while our integration of laser therapy offers more comfortable treatment experiences with superior results.
