Protecting the Foundation of Your Smile
Your gums and the bone beneath them are the foundation that holds your teeth in place, and when that foundation is threatened, your whole smile is at risk. Gum disease treatment stops that threat, addressing the infection and inflammation of periodontal disease before it can lead to tooth loss.
At GDENT Studio, periodontal treatment in Coral Springs is tailored to the stage of the disease. Early gum inflammation, called gingivitis, often responds to improved cleanings and home care, while more advanced gum disease may call for a deep cleaning, known as scaling and root planing, followed by ongoing periodontal maintenance. Dr. Gisselle Cuevillas matches the treatment to your needs.
For patients across Coral Springs, timely gum disease treatment in Coral Springs can make all the difference. Because gum disease often progresses quietly and without much pain, catching and treating it early is one of the most important things you can do to protect your natural teeth.

We evaluate the health of your gums and measure the pockets around your teeth, so treatment is matched to how advanced the disease is, here in Coral Springs.
The least invasive effective option
Whenever possible, we start with non-surgical treatment like deep cleaning and improved home care, escalating only if your gums truly need more.
A plan to keep it controlled
Treating gum disease is the first step. We set up periodontal maintenance afterward to keep it from returning over time.

Schedule Your ConsultationUnderstanding and Treating Gum Disease
Gum disease develops when plaque and bacteria build up along and below the gumline, irritating the gums. In its earliest stage, gingivitis, the gums may be red, swollen, or bleed easily, but the damage is usually reversible with professional cleaning and better home care. Caught here, it rarely becomes serious.
If gingivitis is left unaddressed, it can progress to periodontitis, a more advanced stage where the infection begins to affect the bone supporting your teeth. At this point, treatment typically involves a deep cleaning, or scaling and root planing, which removes bacteria and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the roots so the gums can heal.
After active treatment, the focus shifts to keeping the disease under control. This is where periodontal maintenance comes in: more frequent cleanings, usually every three to four months, that prevent the bacteria from rebuilding. Together, deep cleaning and ongoing maintenance form the backbone of managing gum disease for the long term.
Because gum disease is so often painless in its early stages, regular checkups are the best way to catch it. At our Coral Springs studio, Dr. Cuevillas will evaluate your gums, explain exactly where things stand, and recommend the right level of treatment, honestly and without pressure, in English or Spanish.
It’s also worth knowing that healthy gums matter for more than your teeth. Research has linked gum health to overall health, which is one more reason not to ignore bleeding gums or put off treatment. The good news is that gum disease is highly responsive to consistent care, and most patients who stay on top of it keep their teeth and their comfort for the long term. Just as important is what happens at home, so we’ll show you the most effective ways to brush, floss, and care for your gums between visits. Treatment in the office and good habits at home work hand in hand. At our Coral Springs studio, we’ll partner with you to bring your gums back to health and keep them there, in English or Spanish.
