Our Proven Periodontal Treatment Process
Periodontal treatment is not one-size-fits-all—it’s a carefully planned journey tailored to your unique needs. At Toothworks of Bakersfield, our process is designed to deliver optimal results with minimal discomfort and maximum transparency.
Comprehensive Diagnosis and Personalized Care Plans
Your path to healthier gums begins with a thorough evaluation. We use digital imaging, periodontal probing, and a comprehensive review of your medical and dental history to assess the health of your gums and supporting bone.
Based on these findings, we develop a personalized care plan that addresses your specific needs, concerns, and goals. Whether you require non-surgical therapy or advanced surgical intervention, every step is explained in detail so you know what to expect.
We believe that informed patients make the best decisions. That’s why we take the time to discuss your options, answer your questions, and provide clear recommendations. Your treatment plan is as unique as your smile.
Step-by-Step Periodontal Therapy for Optimal Results
Our periodontal therapy protocols are built on decades of clinical research and refined by our own experience. We follow a step-by-step approach that may include:
- Initial Therapy: Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is performed to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline. This is often the first step in controlling gum infection and inflammation.
- Reevaluation: After initial therapy, we reassess your gum health to determine the next steps.
- Advanced Procedures: If needed, we offer surgical interventions such as gum grafting, bone regeneration, or pocket reduction to restore lost tissue and support.
- Restorative Solutions: For patients with tooth loss, we provide dental implants and prosthetic options designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
- Maintenance: Once your active treatment is complete, we establish a maintenance program with regular cleanings and check-ups to protect your investment in your gum health.
Each phase of your care is delivered with precision, empathy, and a focus on your comfort.

To deliver the best possible outcomes, we invest in the latest dental technology and use only premium materials. Our office is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools, including digital X-rays, intraoral scanners, and 3D imaging systems that allow for accurate assessment and precise treatment planning.

Innovative Tools for Minimally Invasive Gum Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery is a hallmark of modern periodontics. At Toothworks of Bakersfield, we leverage innovative tools such as dental lasers and microsurgical instruments to perform procedures that are gentler on your gums, require less downtime, and produce more predictable outcomes.

- Enhanced precision and tissue preservation
By embracing minimally invasive techniques, we make advanced periodontal care accessible and comfortable for every patient.

Common Questions About Periodontal Care
What Are the Signs and Risks of Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease often develops silently, but there are warning signs to watch for:
- Bleeding gums during brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession or teeth appearing longer
- Swollen, red, or tender gums
- Loose or shifting teeth
If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss, bone deterioration, and increased risk for systemic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing these complications and maintaining your overall health.
How Long Does Periodontal Therapy Take?
The duration of periodontal therapy depends on the severity of your condition and the specific treatments required. Initial deep cleaning may be completed in one or two visits, while advanced procedures like gum grafting, bone regeneration, or implant placement may require multiple appointments over several weeks or months.
Our team will provide a clear timeline before treatment begins and keep you informed at every stage. We prioritize efficient, effective care without compromising your comfort or results.
Are Dental Implants Safe for Everyone?
Dental implants are a reliable, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth, but they are not suitable for everyone. Candidacy depends on factors such as bone density, gum health, and overall medical history.
During your consultation, we conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if implants are right for you. In some cases, preparatory procedures like bone grafting can improve eligibility. We are committed to patient safety and will only recommend implants if they are the best option for your needs.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Surgery for Gum Disease?
Laser surgery offers several advantages over traditional periodontal surgery:
- Minimally invasive: Less pain, swelling, and bleeding
- Faster recovery: Reduced downtime and discomfort
- Precision: Targets bacteria and diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums
- Enhanced results: Promotes regeneration and long-term stability
Our team is trained in the latest laser techniques, providing you with cutting-edge care that maximizes results and minimizes discomfort.
How Can I Maintain My Gum Health After Treatment?
Successful periodontal treatment is just the beginning—ongoing care is essential for lasting results. We recommend:
- Maintaining a consistent oral hygiene routine at home, including proper brushing and flossing techniques
- Scheduling regular professional cleanings and check-ups as advised by your periodontist
- Avoiding tobacco products and managing systemic health conditions that can impact your gums
- Following any specific instructions provided by your care team
We provide ongoing support, education, and preventive care to help you protect your investment in your oral health.
