Why Would I Need Periodontal Care?
Untreated gum disease can lead to persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, and even tooth loss. Periodontal care isn’t just about saving your teeth; it’s about restoring your confidence and protecting your health. Gum inflammation has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions, which is why early detection and consistent care are so important.
At Smile Care Raytown, we treat your concerns with compassion and respect, creating a custom care plan based on your current condition and long-term goals. With flexible, affordable options, our care is built around your well-being, medically, emotionally, and financially.

The Periodontal Care Treatment Process
Comprehensive Periodontal Evaluation
Your first step toward healthier gums starts with a thorough evaluation. Our experienced dentists, Dr. Dolson and Dr. Lee, carefully examine your gum tissues, measure pocket depths, and use digital imaging to assess bone health.
This detailed assessment allows us to categorize the stage of your gum disease and determine the most effective treatment strategy tailored to your needs. We take time to explain every finding so you understand the “why” behind your own treatment plan.
Scaling and Root Planing
This deep cleaning procedure is often the first clinical step in treating periodontitis. Our dental team meticulously removes plaque and tartar buildup from beneath the gumline and smooths the root surfaces to prevent bacteria from reattaching.
At Smile Care Raytown, we use advanced techniques and local anesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the entire process, making it as stress-free as possible, especially for patients who may be anxious about dental care.
Maintenance and Monitoring
Ongoing care is key to keeping gum disease from returning. Once your initial treatment is complete, we recommend periodontal maintenance cleanings every 3-4 months to keep your gums healthy.
These appointments allow us to monitor your gum health, reinforce proper hygiene techniques, and respond swiftly to any changes. Our team stays committed to your progress, offering compassionate guidance and support every step of the way, because long-term wellness is always the goal.
