Gum Disease Treatment in PASADENA
Protect your smile and overall health with advanced periodontal care.
What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common infection of the gums caused by plaque and bacteria. In its early stage (gingivitis), gums may appear red, swollen, or bleed when brushing.
If left untreated, gum disease can progress to periodontitis, where the infection damages the bone and tissues that support your teeth—eventually leading to tooth loss. Because gum health is directly linked to overall health, timely treatment is essential for both your smile and your well-being.

At Legacy Dental Pasadena, gum disease treatment typically ranges from $700 to $2,000, depending on the severity of the condition and the type of therapy required. Treatments may include deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), laser therapy, or localized antibiotic application to restore gum health and prevent further damage. A personalized treatment plan and cost estimate will be provided after your periodontal evaluation.
The initial signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or bleeding gums. You may also notice persistent bad breath and increased sensitivity in your gums. Recognizing these symptoms early is crucial for effective treatment.
Gingivitis can often be reversed with professional treatment and diligent home care. However, periodontitis cannot be fully reversed but can be effectively managed to halt its progression. Regular follow-ups are essential for maintaining gum health.
Most treatments are designed to be comfortable, and we prioritize patient comfort. We also offer numbing agents and sedation options to ensure a pain-free experience. Your comfort is our top priority during every procedure.
The frequency of treatment depends on the severity of your gum disease. Some patients may require maintenance cleanings every 3 to 4 months. Our team will provide a personalized schedule based on your specific needs.
If left untreated, gum disease can lead to bone loss, loose teeth, and eventual tooth loss. It has also been linked to various systemic health issues, making timely treatment critical. Protecting your oral health is essential for your overall well-being.
