Whether you’re experiencing early signs of inflammation or need advanced laser treatment for periodontitis, our skilled team, led by Dr. Philip Afshar and Dr. Joseph Haddad, provides personalized care in a comfortable, modern setting.

Gum disease is more than just a dental issue—it can affect your whole-body health. That’s why we focus on early detection, evidence-based treatment, and long-term maintenance strategies to protect your teeth, gums, and overall well-being.

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a progressive infection of the gums caused by bacterial plaque buildup. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, loose teeth, and even systemic health complications such as heart disease and diabetes.

Common symptoms include:

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Gum recession or tooth sensitivity
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Pain when chewing

Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible, but advanced periodontitis requires professional intervention. That’s where we come in.

Complete Gum Therapy Services in Somerset

We offer a full range of periodontal treatments to address every stage of gum disease—from prevention to advanced care.

Gum Disease & Laser Therapy

Gum Disease & Laser Therapy

Our advanced laser therapy targets and removes infected gum tissue with minimal discomfort and faster healing times. It’s an effective, minimally invasive solution for moderate to severe periodontal disease.

Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal Maintenance

Following treatment, patients with a history of gum disease need more frequent deep cleanings to prevent recurrence. Our periodontal maintenance program is tailored to your condition and typically scheduled every 3–4 months.

Why Gum Health Matters

Your gums do more than hold your teeth in place—they’re your first line of defense against oral and systemic disease. Maintaining healthy gums can:

  • Prevent tooth loss and bone deterioration
  • Improve breath freshness and oral comfort
  • Reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes complications
  • Preserve the success of dental implants and restorative dentistry
  • Support the longevity of cosmetic treatments like veneers and Invisalign

Gum disease is painless in the early stages—which is why regular exams and dental cleanings are so important.
