What Is Periodontal Gum Disease?
Periodontal gum disease, also known as periodontitis, is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It often begins as gingivitis, causing red, swollen gums that bleed easily. If untreated, it can progress to severe periodontitis, leading to gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss.
Common symptoms of gum disease include:
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Chronic bad breath (halitosis)
- Receding gums or teeth appearing longer
- Loose teeth or changes in bite alignment
- Pus between the teeth and gums
The earlier gum disease is treated, the better the outcome. Our Odessa periodontal treatment focuses on removing infection, restoring gum health, and preventing further damage.
Advanced Gum Disease Treatment at Jolie Smiles
At Jolie Smiles Denture and Implant Studio, we provide a full range of periodontal treatments tailored to your specific needs.
Deep Cleanings & Scaling and Root Planing
For early-stage gum disease, we perform scaling and root planing—a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria beneath the gumline. This non-surgical treatment helps gums heal and reattach to the teeth.
Periodontal Maintenance & Laser Therapy
After initial treatment, periodontal maintenance cleanings are recommended every 3-4 months to keep gum disease under control. In some cases, laser gum therapy may be used to reduce bacterial infection with minimal discomfort.
Gum Graft Surgery for Receding Gums
Severe gum recession can expose tooth roots, leading to increased sensitivity and higher risk of decay. We offer gum grafting procedures to restore lost tissue and protect your teeth.
Dental Implants for Tooth Loss Due to Gum Disease
If gum disease has led to tooth loss, we offer permanent tooth replacement solutions using dental implants:
- Standard Dental Implants
- Full Mouth Dental Implants (All-on-4)
- Mini Dental Implants
- Zygomatic Dental Implants for patients with bone loss
With our in-house dental lab and 3D CT scanning, we ensure precise and efficient implant placement, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Disease
- Is gum disease reversible?: Early-stage gingivitis can often be reversed with professional cleanings and good oral hygiene. However, once gum disease progresses to periodontitis, it requires ongoing treatment to manage and prevent further damage.
- Can gum disease cause tooth loss?: Yes. Without treatment, periodontal disease can destroy the bone that supports your teeth, leading to tooth mobility and eventual loss.
- Does gum disease treatment hurt?: Most treatments, including scaling and root planing, are performed with local anesthesia for comfort. Advanced procedures like gum grafting or dental implants may involve mild post-treatment soreness, which is manageable with medication.
- How can I prevent gum disease?:
- Brush and floss daily to remove plaque
- Visit the dentist for regular cleanings and checkups
- Avoid smoking, which increases the risk of gum disease
- Maintain a healthy diet to support gum and bone health
