Why Would I Need Periodontal Care?
Gum disease can begin silently but have serious long-term effects, not just on your oral health, but also your overall well-being. If left untreated, periodontal issues can lead to tooth loss and chronic inflammation. Uncontrolled gum disease has even been linked with a higher risk of serious health issues like heart disease and stroke.
Thankfully, with the personalized periodontal care offered at Redstone Dental Studio, early intervention can stop the progression of disease and preserve your smile for life. Dr. Derrik Johnson and his team prioritize prevention and patient education, using the latest diagnostics and treatment protocols in a warm, welcoming space that makes it easy to take control of your gum health with confidence.

The Benefits Of Periodontal Care
Timely periodontal treatment targets inflammation and bacterial buildup at its source, helping to stop gum disease in its tracks and protect the supporting structures of your teeth.
Advanced gum disease is a leading cause of adult tooth loss. Periodontal care helps maintain healthy bone and tissue attachment to ensure your smile stays strong for years to come.
Studies link gum health to systemic health conditions. By reducing inflammation, periodontal therapy may lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions.
The Periodontal Care Treatment Process
Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis
Your journey to healthier gums starts with a detailed periodontal evaluation by Dr. Johnson. Using advanced digital imaging and gentle periodontal charting, we assess gum health, pocket depths, and bone structure. This thorough diagnostic approach allows us to personalize your treatment plan based on your unique needs and the stage of gum disease, all handled in-house at our Lyons dental studio.
Scaling and Root Planing
One of the most effective non-surgical treatments, scaling and root planing (also called a “deep cleaning), removes plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria from beneath the gumline. This deep cleaning smooths the root surfaces, helping gums reattach and heal. At Redstone Dental Studio, we use modern ultrasonic tools that are gentler and more precise, promoting faster healing and reducing the need for repeat treatments.
Ongoing Maintenance and Monitoring
Periodontal care doesn’t end after the initial treatment. To prevent recurrence, patients are enrolled in a personalized periodontal maintenance program. This may include more frequent cleanings and digital monitoring of your gums over time. Our team stays connected with you, ensuring long-term health and helping you maintain a clean, comfortable, and confident smile between visits.
