Gum Disease Treatment
in Denville, New Jersey

Scaling and Root Planing:

Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning below the gumline that is used to treat the early stages of gum disease. If the pockets or spaces between the teeth and gums are too deep to be treated with a standard cleaning, scaling and root planing will often be recommended. During the scaling, we will remove all the plaque and tartar above and below the gumline all the way down to the bottom of the pocket. Root planing involves smoothing out the teeth roots to help the gums reattach to the teeth.

Localized Chemotherapeutics/Arestin:

This antibiotic is placed directly into infected gum pockets after scaling and root planing. Unlike oral treatment, Arestin is applied locally, delivering the antibiotic right where you need it. Arestin, in conjunction with scaling and root planing, fights harmful bacteria that scaling and root planing alone may not reach.

Is Gum Disease Treatment Expensive?

Every case is unique, so costs will vary depending on your specific needs. During your consultation, we will provide a breakdown of costs for your treatment plan. We are in-network with most major dental insurance plans, and we accept CareCredit and offer Green Leaf Club, an in-house payment plan for qualifying patients.

Dental Crown Lengthening:

During this procedure, excess gum and bone tissue will be reshaped to expose more of your natural tooth. This can be done to one tooth or a complete gum line to expose a healthy, natural-looking smile.
