Stopped Progression
Clearing bacteria from below the gumline halts the slow bone loss that turns a manageable problem into loose teeth somewhere further down the line.

Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Periodontal Therapy?
Periodontal therapy is the treatment of gum disease, clearing bacteria from below the gumline and stabilizing the bone and tissue that hold your teeth in place. Most general offices refer this work out, though Dr. Werner Visagé brings advanced training in gum health to the practice on the days he is seeing patients. Dr. Dylan Kovar coordinates that treatment with the rest of your care plan.
The Benefits
The Benefits of Periodontal Therapy
Reduced Bleeding
Gums that bleed at every brushing settle within weeks of treatment, which is the clearest sign that the inflammation is genuinely resolving.
Saved Teeth
Teeth are lost to failing gum support more often than they are to decay, and treating the tissue early is what keeps your own teeth in place.
Whole Health
Oral bacteria have been linked to heart disease and diabetes, so controlling a gum infection supports far more than the mouth it started in.
The Process
Our Step-by-Step Process
From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Schedule Appointment- 01
Pocket Charting
The depth of the space around every single tooth is measured and recorded, which turns gum health into numbers you can actually track over time.
- 02
Bone Levels
Digital images show how much bone still supports each tooth, information that a visual exam alone can never reveal about the tissue underneath.
- 03
Deep Cleaning
Scaling and root planing clears hardened deposits from the root surfaces below the gumline, where a routine cleaning simply cannot ever reach.
- 04
Laser Therapy
Laser treatment is available alongside deep cleaning to reduce bacteria within the pocket and encourage the tissue to reattach more cleanly.
- 05
Maintenance Schedule
Follow-up cleanings move to a shorter interval, usually every three or four months, because treated gums need closer watching than healthy ones.
Is It Right for You?
Signs You May Need Periodontal Therapy
-
Persistent Bleeding — Your gums bleed during brushing or flossing and have done so for long enough that you have quietly stopped thinking of it as unusual at all.
-
Longer Teeth — Your teeth appear longer than they once did, which means the gumline has receded and left more of the root surface exposed than it was before.
-
Tooth Mobility — A tooth shifts slightly when you press against it with your tongue, which is a sign that the bone supporting it has already started disappearing.
-
Chronic Odor — Bad breath returns quickly after brushing, and it often traces back to bacteria living undisturbed in the pockets sitting below your gumline.
Our Difference
Specialist-Level Care Without Referral
Most general offices send gum treatment elsewhere, while this care happens in the very same building where the rest of your dentistry is done.
Advanced Gum Training On Site
Dr. Visagé earned his DDS at UCSF and holds advanced training in gum and oral health, which is uncommon to find inside a general practice.
Laser Used Where Helpful
Laser therapy supplements deep cleaning when the pocket depth warrants it, rather than being applied at every appointment simply by default.
Progress Measured Every Visit
Pocket depths are recharted at each maintenance visit, so improvement or backsliding shows up as real data instead of a general impression.

Can gum disease be reversed?
The earliest stage responds well and often resolves completely once the bacteria are cleared and home care improves. Once bone has been lost, treatment shifts to stopping the damage and holding the remaining support steady rather than regrowing it.
Does periodontal therapy hurt?
Deep cleaning is done with the area numbed, so the appointment itself is comfortable. Tenderness for a day or two afterward is normal, and the gums usually feel better than they did beforehand within about a week.
How often will I need periodontal maintenance?
Every three to four months is typical after active treatment, because bacteria repopulate the pockets faster than they do in healthy gums. Once your numbers hold steady, that interval can sometimes be stretched back out.
What is the cost of periodontal therapy in Carmichael, CA?
Cost depends on how many areas of the mouth need treatment and whether laser therapy is included, so our front desk quotes the full figure before you start. Cherry, CareCredit, and in-house financing are available, and Marconi Dental Plan members receive 30% off cash fees.
Does insurance cover periodontal therapy in Carmichael, CA?
Most PPO plans cover scaling and root planing along with ongoing maintenance, though frequency limits vary from plan to plan. We accept all major providers, work with out-of-network plans, and verify your coverage before treatment is scheduled.
