At Legacy Dental Care, we believe that a healthy smile starts with healthy gums. Periodontics, the branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and other supporting structures of the teeth, is essential for long-term oral health. Our skilled dental team offers comprehensive periodontal care in Woodbridge, VA, to help you maintain strong gums and preserve your natural teeth for life.

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal (gum) disease is a common but often silent condition caused by plaque buildup beneath the gumline. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and even contribute to systemic health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues. Early symptoms may include:

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

  • Persistent bad breath

  • Loose or shifting teeth

  • Gum recession or tooth sensitivity

If you are experiencing any of these signs, it’s important to schedule a periodontal evaluation as soon as possible.

Our Periodontal Services

Legacy Dental Care offers a full spectrum of periodontal services, including:

🔹 Comprehensive Gum Evaluations

Using advanced diagnostic tools, we assess the health of your gums and supporting bone structure to determine the stage of gum disease and create a tailored treatment plan.

🔹 Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

This non-surgical treatment involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smoothing the tooth roots to help gums reattach and heal. It's the gold standard for managing early to moderate periodontitis.

🔹 Periodontal Maintenance

After initial treatment, ongoing care is critical. We’ll schedule regular periodontal cleanings to prevent disease recurrence and monitor your gum health closely.

🔹 Localized Antibiotic Therapy

In some cases, we may apply antimicrobial agents directly to infected gum pockets to reduce bacteria and promote healing.

🔹 Referral for Advanced Surgical Procedures

If surgical treatment is necessary, such as gum grafting or pocket reduction surgery, we will coordinate with trusted periodontal specialists to ensure you receive expert care.
