Periodontal Therapy in Gahanna & Columbus

Fight Gum Disease and Protect Your Smile

At The Smile Method, we believe a healthy smile starts with healthy gums. Gum disease (periodontal disease) is an infection that damages the tissues supporting your teeth — and if left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and impact your overall health. That’s why we provide advanced periodontal therapy at both our Gahanna and Columbus (Upper Arlington) offices to help stop gum disease in its tracks.


Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease develops when bacteria in plaque irritate and infect the gums. Early signs include:

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

  • Persistent bad breath

  • Receding gums or tooth sensitivity

  • Loose or shifting teeth

The sooner gum disease is treated, the easier it is to manage and the more likely you’ll keep your natural teeth.


Periodontal Therapy Options

We provide a full range of treatment options depending on the stage of gum disease:

  • Non-Surgical Treatments: Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) removes plaque and tartar below the gumline, promoting healing and reducing infection.

  • Surgical Procedures: For advanced disease, surgery may be needed to clean deep pockets, reshape bone, or regenerate lost tissue.

  • Gum Grafting: Restores receding gumlines, protecting roots and improving your smile’s appearance.
