What to Expect

When you visit Cedar Creek Dentist in Rigby, ID for periodontal (gum) disease treatment, our team begins with a comprehensive gum evaluation to determine the severity of your condition. We use gentle probing and digital imaging to check for signs of inflammation, bleeding, or bone loss.

If early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is detected, a professional cleaning and improved home care routine may be all that’s needed to restore gum health. For more advanced cases, your dentist may recommend a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove plaque and bacteria beneath the gumline. This helps gums reattach to the teeth and reduces inflammation.

Throughout your treatment, our caring team ensures your comfort and provides guidance on maintaining healthy gums long-term. With regular checkups and consistent oral care, you can prevent further damage and keep your smile strong and healthy.
