Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Our periodontal services in Greenville, SC and Aiken, SC focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease, as well as preserving the bone and tissues that support your teeth and dental implants.

Periodontal (gum) disease is common, but it’s also highly treatable—especially when caught early. Our periodontal team provides advanced care to help reduce inflammation, stop infection, and protect your teeth from mobility and loss. Whether you have early signs of gum disease or advanced periodontitis, we offer tailored treatment plans designed around your specific needs.

What Is Periodontal Dentistry?

Periodontal dentistry (or periodontics) is the specialty of dentistry focused on:

• The gums and supporting tissues around the teeth

• The bone that holds teeth in place

• The prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease

• The placement and maintenance of dental implants

A periodontist has advanced training in managing complex gum conditions, bone loss, and soft-tissue concerns. The goal is to restore health, stability, and comfort so your teeth—and implants—can last as long as possible.
