Save Your Smile With Nonsurgical Gum Disease Treatment in Columbia

At Precision Dentistry, we offer gentle and effective nonsurgical gum disease treatment in Columbia. Our approach focuses on deep cleaning below the gumline to remove harmful bacteria and buildup that cause inflammation and bleeding. Using specialized techniques, we can help your gums heal naturally and prevent further damage to your teeth and bone.

Early treatment of gum disease helps prevent tooth loss and protects your overall health, as gum disease has been linked to heart problems, diabetes, and other health issues.

Revive Your Gums With a Deep Cleaning

A deep cleaning helps restore your gum health and protects your teeth from damage. This thorough treatment removes bacteria and buildup from below your gumline, where regular cleanings can't reach. Here's what we'll do:

  • Scaling - We carefully remove hardened tartar and bacteria from beneath your gums using specialized tools. This helps reduce inflammation and promote healing.
  • Root Planing - We smooth the roots of your teeth to remove infected areas and help your gums reattach, creating a healthier environment for your teeth.
  • Local Anesthetic - Our team ensures your comfort throughout the procedure using gentle numbing techniques. You'll feel little to no discomfort.
  • Follow-Up Care - We monitor your healing progress and provide instructions to maintain your gum health at home.

Take Advantage of Our Other Treatments Too

Your dentist may suggest additional treatments to help control bacteria and speed up your healing process:

  • Topical Antibiotics - A small amount of time-release antibiotics is placed directly in infected gum pockets after cleaning. This targeted approach helps kill remaining bacteria and reduces inflammation over several days.
  • Antibacterial Irrigation - Using special solutions, we flush out bacteria and debris from deep gum pockets. This helps clean areas that are hard to reach and promotes faster healing.
  • At-Home Care - You'll receive specific instructions and product recommendations to help maintain the benefits of these treatments between visits.

Great dental office - have been going here for over 4 years. Always polite, friendly staff. Have never had to wait for my scheduled appt. AND they have been very flexible the one or two times have been running late. So grateful to have found this dental practice.

I always get great treatment from Dr Gol and his staff. I moved to Richmond, VA. 3 years ago and continue to drive the 2 1/2 hours one way to see Dr. Gol , can't imagine going to another dentist when I already have the best!!

They keep up with the most updated practices. I have gotten cleanings from Dr. Wayson and the office manager. I will never go anywhere else. Dr. Wayson is wonderful. They are thorough and up front about pricing (my insurance isn't great). They don't ever make you feel bad if you haven't been in...

They keep up with the most updated practices. I have gotten cleanings from Dr. Wayson and the office manager. I will never go anywhere else. Dr. Wayson is wonderful. They are thorough and up front about pricing (my insurance isn't great). They don't ever make you feel bad if you haven't been in for awhile, they just welcome you back. I can't recommend enough. My insurance only covers 50% but I will not risk leaving the practice. They are wonderful!!!! I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Wayson as my dentist. I have to go more than usual and I am never dreading my visit.

Dr. Wayson is the best. She figured out the pain I was having in my back tooth and found a solution for it very quickly. The Botox injections Dr. Gol did will help with my pain from grinding during the day. They were painless. The hygienists Tina and Christina did a great job on the scans for...

The Botox injections Dr. Gol did will help with my pain from grinding during the day. They were painless. The hygienists Tina and Christina did a great job on the scans for both my night guards and Invisalign. I cannot wait to see the final results!

Frequently Asked Questions About Nonsurgical Gum Disease Treatment

What is gum disease treatment?
Gum disease can be treated in a variety of ways, but the most conservative method is with a deep cleaning known as scaling and root planing. This is where your dentist or hygienist removes infection caused by bacterial plaque below and around your gumline and then smooths out your tooth roots so bacteria doesn’t return.
What causes gum disease?
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that builds up around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating pockets where more bacteria accumulate. In advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and potentially fall out.
What are gum disease symptoms?
You may not see the signs of gum disease on your own until its advanced stages, which is why it is often referred to as a silent killer. It’s also why your routine dental exams are so important. The earlier you spot periodontal infection, the easier it is to manage and, in many cases, reverse. Common symptoms to look for include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums, loose teeth, and persistent bad breath.
