Periodontal Therapy
Advanced Gum Disease Treatment
Periodontal therapy is essential for maintaining healthy gums and preventing tooth loss caused by gum disease.
At Shifa Dental, every periodontal treatment is carefully planned using advanced diagnostic tools to ensure precise care, long-term stability, and improved oral health.
This page explains how periodontal therapy works, why it is important for long-term oral health, and what factors influence treatment planning.
What Is Periodontal Therapy?
Periodontal therapy refers to a range of treatments designed to manage and treat gum disease (periodontitis).
Gum disease begins with plaque buildup along the gumline. If left untreated, it can lead to inflammation, infection, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss.
Periodontal therapy focuses on removing bacteria, controlling infection, and restoring gum health.
Unlike routine cleanings, periodontal treatment targets deeper areas below the gumline to treat the root cause of the disease.

Types of Periodontal Treatments We Offer
The Periodontal Therapy Process: Step-by-Step
Comprehensive Consultation
We perform a detailed oral exam, measure gum pocket depth, and take digital X-rays to assess gum and bone health.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Based on your condition, we recommend deep cleaning, maintenance therapy, or advanced procedures if necessary.
Scaling & Root Planing
Plaque and tartar are removed from below the gumline, and root surfaces are smoothed to promote healing.
Healing Phase
Gums begin to heal, inflammation reduces, and pocket depth may decrease over time.
Periodontal Maintenance
Regular follow-up visits help maintain results and prevent disease recurrence.
Benefits of Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal therapy offers both health and functional benefits:
Who Is a Candidate for Periodontal Therapy?
You may benefit from treatment if you:
- Have bleeding gums
- Experience gum swelling or tenderness
- Notice bad breath or gum recession
- Have loose teeth
- Have been diagnosed with gum disease
- Have not had regular dental cleanings
Early treatment significantly improves outcomes and prevents complications.
Aftercare for Long-Term Gum Health
To maintain healthy gums after treatment:
- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush
- Floss daily
- Use antibacterial mouthwash if recommended
- Attend regular dental checkups
- Follow your dentist’s maintenance schedule
Consistent care is essential to prevent recurrence of gum disease.
Safety & Success Rate
Periodontal therapy is highly effective when performed early and followed by proper maintenance.
Most patients experience significant improvement in gum health with non-surgical treatment.
While complications are rare, potential risks include:
- Temporary gum sensitivity
- Mild discomfort after deep cleaning
- Recurrence if oral hygiene is not maintained
Early diagnosis and proper care play a key role in long-term success.
When Advanced Treatment May Be Necessary
In more advanced cases of gum disease, additional procedures may be required.
If significant bone loss or deep infection is present, surgical periodontal therapy may be recommended to restore gum health.
Early intervention helps avoid complex treatments and improves long-term outcomes.
Periodontal Therapy Cost & Long-Term Value
Periodontal treatment is an investment in your long-term oral health. Treating gum disease early can help prevent costly procedures such as tooth replacement or surgery in the future.
Treatment cost varies based on:
- Severity of gum disease
- Type of treatment required
- Number of areas affected
A personalized consultation is required for accurate diagnosis and cost estimation.
