Are you experiencing bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or teeth that appear longer than before? These could be signs of gum disease, a serious condition that can lead to tooth loss when left untreated. At Park Smiles in Edison, our specialized periodontal team provides comprehensive care for all aspects of gum health, from early intervention to advanced reconstructive procedures.
Periodontal care focuses on the health of the gums, bone, and supportive tissues surrounding your teeth. These structures form the foundation of your smile and are critical for maintaining long-term oral health. Periodontal disease (commonly called gum disease) is a progressive bacterial infection that begins as mild inflammation but can advance to cause significant tissue damage, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss if not properly treated.
At Park Smiles Edison, our periodontal services encompass both preventive and restorative approaches. Our periodontists are dental specialists with advanced training specifically focused on gum health and treatments. Using the latest diagnostic tools and treatment techniques, we can detect periodontal issues in their earliest stages and develop customized treatment plans based on your specific condition, health history, and personal needs.
Modern periodontal care has evolved significantly, with new minimally invasive techniques and regenerative procedures that can not only halt disease progression but actually help rebuild lost tissue and bone. Whether you’re seeking preventive care, treatment for active gum disease, or cosmetic gum procedures, our Edison periodontal team delivers exceptional care with a focus on your comfort and long-term oral health.
At Park Smiles, we offer a full range of dental treatments tailored to your needs. Our goal is to provide comfortable, stress-free care using the latest technology and techniques. Here are a few general-dentistry-related services we offer:
Periodontal disease ranges from mild gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. At Park Smiles Edison, we offer comprehensive treatment options tailored to each stage of gum disease. For early-stage gingivitis, professional cleanings and improved home care may be sufficient. For more advanced conditions, we provide specialized treatments including scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), antibiotic therapy, and surgical interventions when necessary. Our periodontists use precise techniques and advanced equipment to effectively remove harmful bacteria, calculus, and diseased tissue while preserving your healthy gum structure.
Gum recession can expose tooth roots, leading to sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, and increased risk of decay. Our Edison periodontists perform various grafting procedures to restore lost gum tissue and protect exposed roots. Using either your own tissue or biocompatible donor material, we can effectively cover exposed roots, thicken thin gum tissue, and restore a natural, healthy gumline. These procedures not only improve the appearance of your smile but also protect your teeth from further damage and sensitivity, creating a more stable environment for long-term oral health.
Sometimes healthy gums may present aesthetic concerns such as a “gummy smile” or uneven gum contours. Our periodontists offer specialized cosmetic procedures to create a more balanced and attractive smile. Using precise laser technology and advanced surgical techniques, we can reshape the gumline to create ideal tooth proportions, correct asymmetry, and enhance your overall smile aesthetics. These procedures are often combined with other cosmetic dental treatments to create comprehensive smile transformations that look naturally beautiful.

Periodontal disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in the United States. By maintaining healthy gums or addressing periodontal issues early, you can significantly reduce your risk of losing teeth. Our comprehensive periodontal care at Park Smiles Edison focuses on preserving your natural dentition through both preventive measures and targeted treatments for existing disease. Regular periodontal maintenance has been shown to effectively halt disease progression and stabilize even compromised teeth, allowing you to maintain your natural smile for years to come.
Research has established clear links between periodontal disease and several systemic health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory infections, and certain adverse pregnancy outcomes. The inflammation and bacteria associated with gum disease can affect your entire body, not just your mouth. By maintaining healthy gums or treating existing periodontal disease, you’re not only improving your oral health but potentially benefiting your overall wellbeing. Our Edison periodontal team stays current on the latest research regarding these oral-systemic connections to provide truly comprehensive healthcare.
Healthy gums are the foundation of an attractive smile. Receding, swollen, or asymmetrical gums can significantly impact your smile’s appearance, even if your teeth are otherwise in good condition. Our periodontal treatments not only restore health but can also improve the aesthetics of your gumline through procedures like crown lengthening, gum grafting, and gum recontouring. The result is a more balanced, natural-looking smile with proper tooth-to-gum proportions. Many patients are surprised by how dramatically their smile aesthetics improve with proper periodontal care.
Advanced periodontal disease can lead to shifting teeth, bite changes, and discomfort when eating or speaking. By restoring gum health and stability, our periodontal treatments help maintain proper tooth alignment and comfortable oral function. Procedures like osseous surgery and regenerative treatments can eliminate painful pockets, reduce sensitivity, and create a more stable environment for your teeth. Our Edison patients frequently report significant improvements in comfort following periodontal therapy, allowing them to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
At Park Smiles Edison, our periodontal team combines advanced specialty training with years of clinical experience to provide exceptional gum care. Our periodontists have completed extensive education beyond dental school, focusing specifically on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of periodontal disease, as well as the placement of dental implants and aesthetic gum procedures.
Working alongside our general dentists, including Dr. Krystle Kendall and Dr. Aryeh Mahana, our periodontal specialists ensure comprehensive care for all aspects of your oral health. This collaborative approach allows us to coordinate your periodontal treatment with any other dental needs, creating more efficient and effective care plans.
Our periodontists are committed to staying at the forefront of their specialty through ongoing education and incorporation of the latest evidence-based techniques. They combine technical expertise with a gentle, compassionate approach, understanding that many patients may feel anxious about periodontal treatment. Our “one patient at a time” philosophy ensures you’ll receive their undivided attention during your visit, with ample time to discuss your concerns and fully understand your treatment options.
Periodontal treatment requires specialized knowledge and skills beyond general dentistry. At Park Smiles Edison, our periodontal team brings advanced training and extensive experience to every case, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care for your gum health. Unlike practices that offer only basic periodontal services, we provide comprehensive care for even the most complex cases, including advanced disease, gum recession, and pre-prosthetic periodontal surgery. Our specialists’ expertise allows us to achieve predictable, long-lasting results while prioritizing the preservation of your natural teeth whenever possible.
Precise diagnosis and treatment are essential for successful periodontal care. Our Edison office utilizes state-of-the-art technology including digital radiography, advanced periodontal charting software, and specialized imaging techniques to assess your periodontal condition with exceptional accuracy. During treatment, we employ the latest equipment including ultrasonic scalers, dental lasers, and microsurgical instruments that enhance precision while improving your comfort. This technological advantage translates to more effective treatment outcomes and a better overall experience for our periodontal patients.
Periodontal health doesn’t exist in isolation—it’s integrally connected to your overall dental condition and general health. At Park Smiles Edison, we take a holistic approach to periodontal care, considering factors such as occlusion (bite), medical conditions, and lifestyle habits that may impact your gum health. Our team collaborates closely with our general dentists and other specialists to ensure coordinated care addressing all aspects of your oral health. This comprehensive approach leads to more predictable, sustainable results and better long-term outcomes for your smile.
We understand that many patients may feel anxious about periodontal treatment due to past experiences or concerns about discomfort. At Park Smiles Edison, your comfort is a top priority throughout your periodontal care. Our spa-like environment, gentle techniques, and effective anesthesia options ensure a comfortable experience even for complex procedures. For patients with significant anxiety, we offer additional sedation options to help you relax completely during treatment. Our one-patient-at-a-time philosophy means we can adjust our approach to your comfort needs without feeling rushed.
Common signs of periodontal disease include bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, red or swollen gums, gum recession (teeth appearing longer), loose teeth, and changes in your bite. However, periodontal disease can often progress silently with minimal symptoms, which is why regular professional evaluations are crucial. At Park Smiles Edison, we perform comprehensive periodontal assessments during routine examinations, measuring gum pocket depths, evaluating attachment levels, and checking for signs of inflammation or bone loss. If it’s been more than six months since your last dental exam, or if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, we recommend scheduling an evaluation with our periodontal team.
Your periodontal treatment at Park Smiles Edison will be customized based on your specific condition. For early-stage disease, we typically begin with scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) performed under local anesthesia for comfort. This non-surgical procedure involves removing bacterial deposits from below the gumline and smoothing root surfaces to discourage future accumulation. For more advanced conditions, surgical interventions may be recommended to access deeper areas, regenerate lost tissue, or reshape the gums and underlying bone. Throughout your treatment, we’ll provide clear explanations, ensure your comfort, and give you specific home care instructions to optimize your results.
At Park Smiles Edison, we prioritize your comfort during all periodontal procedures. Most treatments are performed with local anesthesia to ensure you feel no pain during the procedure. For non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing, many patients report minimal discomfort comparable to a routine dental cleaning. For surgical procedures, you may experience some mild soreness during healing, but this can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Our gentle techniques, advanced instruments, and attentive aftercare help minimize post-procedure discomfort. For patients with dental anxiety, we offer additional sedation options to ensure a relaxed, comfortable experience.
