Are you dealing with gum disease?
Periodontal disease, often referred to as “gum disease,” is an infection that takes place in your gums, or the tissues that surround your teeth to hold them in place. Gum disease is common, but it unfortunately has very serious consequences — including discomfort, bleeding, and tooth loss. We’re here to help you.
Call or visit our office in person to learn more about our Peachtree Corners gum disease treatment services and schedule an appointment today.

The stages of gum disease
Gingivitis or gum inflammation
This is the first and least severe stage of gum disease. At this point, the infection has not yet reached the bones in the mouth. This makes gingivitis the only stage of periodontal disease that’s completely reversible.
Slight periodontal disease
As bacteria in the mouth multiply more aggressively, the infection will spread to the bones in the mouth. Patient’s that experience slight periodontal disease are susceptible to bone loss if the infection is left untreated.
Moderate periodontal disease
In the third stage of gum disease, the bacteria have spread not only to the bones in the mouth, but also to the bloodstream. The gums are highly infected, so gum pain and bleeding is common during this stage.
Advanced periodontal disease
The final stage of periodontal disease comes along with severe pain in the gums and puts the patient at risk of tooth loss and jaw damage. We’re here to help you feel better and take back control of your smile and health.
Gum disease treatment options
Increase dental cleaning frequency
Early cases of gum disease are easily addressed with more frequent dental cleanings. Our gum disease dentist will monitor the infection as frequent cleanings are performed and recommend some additional at-home oral care practices to keep your smile healthy.
Scaling and root planing
Often called a “deep cleaning,” a scaling and root planing treatment removes tartar and plaque that has spread below and above the gumline. This treatment also smoothes out any rough points on the teeth to discourage bacteria from sticking and improve gum adhesion to the teeth.
Laser gum disease treatments
Laser treatments are an excellent option for comfortably and effectively removing plaque from well below the gumline and reduce bacteria exposure. We’d love to tell you more about this modern approach to treating periodontal concerns.
Kind words from our patients
Dr. Nguyen was very patient and always attentive to my concerns and questions. Gentle hands. Very professional. His assistant was amazing as well. Always making sure I was safe and comfortable.
— Bobby S.
I had not been to the dentist in a few years and so I expected to need a lot of work done. Naturally, I was very anxious about it. However, everyone made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Go see Dr. Nguyen and you won’t regret it.
— Ashleigh W.
Dr. Nguyen is the sweetest person ever. He walked me through the steps of my procedure, explained everything perfectly, and reminded me I was in great care. I definitely recommend him to ANYONE of any age.
