Periodontal Therapy in Bedminster

What is periodontal disease?

Periodontal or gum disease is an inflammatory condition that affects the gums and can lead to serious oral health issues if left untreated. It progresses through several stages, from mild to severe. The earliest stage, known as gingivitis, is typically caused by the buildup of plaque along and beneath the gumline, causing bleeding and inflammation of the gums. If not addressed, gingivitis can advance to periodontitis, which begins to damage the connective tissues and bone that support the teeth. In its most severe form—advanced periodontitis—the disease can result in tooth mobility and even tooth loss.

Gentle, Personalized Periodontal Care.

Dr. Gerri Illiano and Dr. Sara Barazesh take a thoughtful, patient-centered approach to periodontal therapy. With a focus on comfort, education, and long-term outcomes, we’ll guide you through every step with clarity and compassion so you feel supported, informed, and in control of your oral health.

When gum disease begins to take hold beneath the gumline, routine cleanings aren’t enough. Our deep cleanings gently remove hardened plaque (tartar) and bacteria from below the gums, while smoothing the roots of your teeth to help your gums heal and reattach properly. This non-surgical therapy is often the first step in controlling gum disease and preserving your natural teeth.
