Diagnosis

Diagnosis

Periodontal disease is diagnosed through a detailed gum examination by your dentist or hygienist. Using specialized tools, pocket depths, gum condition, and bone support are assessed to determine the stage of gum disease. Early detection ensures timely treatment and healthier gums.
What We Offer

What We Offer for Your Diagnosis

Early detection ensures timely treatment and healthier gums

Complete Periodontal Assessment

We use advanced diagnostic tools to measure gum pockets, detect inflammation, and identify early signs of infection before they cause lasting damage.

Pocket Depth Measurement

A gentle periodontal probe is used to check pocket depth and bleeding levels, helping to detect gum disease progression at its earliest stage.

Gingivitis Detection & Control

We identify early gum irritation and plaque buildup, providing professional cleaning and guidance to stop gingivitis before it develops into periodontitis.

Periodontitis Evaluation

Our team assesses gum recession, bone loss, and bacterial buildup to determine the severity of periodontitis and recommend the right treatment plan.

Advanced Periodontitis Diagnosis

We evaluate severe gum and bone deterioration using clinical and radiographic tools to plan effective regenerative and stabilization treatments.

Personalized Treatment Planning

After diagnosis, we design a customized care plan focused on restoring gum health, preventing bone loss, and maintaining long-term oral wellness.
Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get a checkup and cleaning?
Most patients do well with visits every 6 months. If you have gum disease, braces, or higher cavity risk, we may recommend every 3–4 months.
Are dental X-rays safe? How often are they taken?
Yes—our digital X-rays use very low radiation and are taken only when needed. New patients often get a full set for baseline; afterward, small bitewings are typically once or twice a year, based on your risk.
Do you accept insurance, Medicaid/Medicare/CHIP, and what are my payment options?
We accept most major plans plus Medicaid, Medicare, and CHIP. We file claims for you and estimate co-pays. You can pay with cash, checks, Visa/MasterCard/Discover, or CareCredit® financing (no-interest and extended plans).
I’m nervous about dental visits—how do you keep me comfortable?
Our team focuses on gentle, compassionate care. We explain each step, use modern tools for efficient treatment, and tailor visits to your comfort level—especially for routine cleanings and exams.
What preventive treatments do you offer, and who benefits most?
We provide cleanings, exams, digital X-rays, fluoride, and sealants. Kids and cavity-prone adults especially benefit, but prevention helps everyone avoid costly problems and keep a confident, healthy smile.
