A Healthy Smile Starts with a Strong Foundation
Gums that bleed, feel tender, or pull away from your teeth may signal a deeper problem. Gum disease can progress silently and damage the foundation that supports your smile. At Sierra Nevada Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, we provide advanced gum disease treatment in Reno, NV, to control infection, restore gum health, and protect your teeth.
What Is Periodontal Disease Treatment?
Periodontal disease treatment targets the bacterial infection that affects the tissues that support your teeth, including the gums and jawbone. By removing infection and restoring healthy tissue, timely treatment helps stop the progression of gum infection and protects your long-term oral health.
Warning Signs of Gum Disease
- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Swollen, red, or tender gums
- Gum recession or teeth that appear longer
- Loose teeth or shifting bite
- Pus between the gums and teeth
- Sensitivity near the gumline

Treating Gum Disease Matters for Your Oral Health and Overall Well-Being
Untreated periodontal disease can damage the bone and tissue that support your teeth. As inflammation and infection spread, they can eventually lead to tooth loss and serious oral health complications.
Research also links gum disease to systemic health concerns, such as heart disease, diabetes complications, and systemic inflammation. Our team at Sierra Nevada Periodontics & Implant Dentistry provides comprehensive periodontal care for every stage of gum disease.
Our Gum Disease Treatment Options
Scaling and root planing remove plaque and bacteria from deep below the gumline. This deep cleaning smooths the tooth roots, allowing the gums to heal and reattach to the teeth. SRP often serves as the first step in periodontal disease treatment and helps stop infection from progressing.
Pinhole Surgical Technique treats gum recession without traditional graft surgery. Your doctor creates a tiny opening in the gum tissue and gently repositions the gums to cover exposed roots. This minimally invasive procedure improves gum health and protects teeth affected by gum disease.
Gum grafting restores gum tissue that has receded due to periodontal disease. It involves placing healthy tissue in areas where gums have worn away to protect exposed tooth roots. This procedure improves comfort, strengthens the gumline, and enhances the appearance of your smile.
A gingivectomy removes infected or overgrown gum tissue to improve oral health. By reshaping the gumline, this treatment eliminates areas where harmful bacteria collect. This procedure helps control gum infection while creating a healthier environment for your teeth and gums.
A frenectomy removes or adjusts a tight frenum, the small band of tissue that connects the lips or tongue to the gums. In some cases, an overly tight frenum can contribute to gum recession or oral health issues. This procedure improves gum stability and supports overall periodontal health.
