Healthy gums are the foundation of a confident smile, and knowing the right treatment for each stage of gum disease can make all the difference. At The Wagner Centre in Chambersburg, PA, Dr. Rebecca Wagner is dedicated to providing advanced periodontal care that blends precision, innovation, and compassion. Let’s explore the best treatments for three of the most common periodontal concerns.
1. Bleeding Gums & Early Gum Disease
When gums start to bleed or feel tender, it’s often the first sign of gum disease. The most effective treatment at this stage is scaling and root planing, also known as a deep cleaning. This removes plaque and bacteria beneath the gumline, allowing the gums to heal and reattach to the teeth. Dr. Wagner takes a careful, personalized approach to ensure patients are comfortable while stopping the disease before it advances.
2. Gum Recession & Tissue Loss
For more advanced cases where gum tissue has receded, LANAP® laser therapy offers a modern solution. Unlike traditional surgery, LANAP® uses a specialized laser to target and remove diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums. Patients experience less discomfort, quicker healing, and natural gum regeneration. Dr. Wagner’s expertise with LANAP® allows her to deliver transformative results with minimal downtime.
3. Bone Loss & Deep Periodontal Pockets
When gum disease leads to significant bone loss or deep pockets around the teeth, regenerative treatments may be necessary. Options such as guided tissue regeneration, enamel matrix proteins, or flap surgery help rebuild lost support structures and encourage healthy tissue regrowth. Dr. Wagner carefully evaluates each patient to determine the best method, ensuring the treatment plan restores both health and stability.
