Protecting the Foundation of Your Smile
Most people think oral health is all about teeth. But the truth is — your gums are the unsung heroes of your mouth. When gum health declines, everything else follows.
At Como Lake Dental, we focus not only on treating gum disease but preventing it from stealing your smile in the first place.

Why Gum Health Matters
Imagine building a house on a weak foundation — it doesn’t last. That’s exactly what happens when gum disease is left untreated. It can lead to loose teeth, bad breath, pain, and even tooth loss.
The scary part? Gum disease often starts silently — with no pain or warning. That’s why periodontal care is essential.
Our Periodontal Services
We provide evidence-based, minimally invasive treatments to restore gum health and stop the progression of disease. Here’s what you can expect:
Gum Evaluation & Diagnosis
We start with a complete gum assessment, checking for signs of inflammation, pocket depths, bone loss, and more — because precise diagnosis leads to precise treatment.
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
If you’re dealing with gingivitis or early-to-moderate periodontitis, scaling and root planing is a non-surgical, highly effective way to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline.
- Scaling removes hardened deposits (calculus).
- Root planing smooths the root surface, promoting healing and gum reattachment.
Gum Maintenance & Aftercare
Periodontal disease can be chronic, but with regular cleanings and maintenance, it can be managed. We create a personalized follow-up plan to ensure long-term gum health and prevent relapse.
