Gum Disease is also known as periodontal disease. It all starts with an infection along the gum line, and if left untreated, it can progress to lead to bone deterioration and eventually tooth loss.
Gum Disease can also lead to failed restorative work. A common symptom is bleeding gums or puffiness, which may seem normal, but bleeding is not normal and should be evaluated.

Scaling and root planing is frequently the first step in treating gum disease. Sometimes referred to as a “deep cleaning,” this specialized procedure involves thoroughly removing bacteria and hardened tartar deposits below the gums. This removes the source of infection and inflammation that causes gum disease to progress. It also provides a smooth, clean root surface, allowing your gums to heal, and frequently restores healthy attachment levels.
Toothaches can be more than a painful nuisance—your body tells you something isn’t right in your mouth. When you experience sudden and unexplained tooth pain, call Lane Center for Advanced Dentistry, and we’ll fit you into our schedule.
Our qualified emergency dental team has the advanced skills and gentle touch to diagnose and treat the underlying issue. If the toothache is caused by an infected dental pulp, an emergency root canal can alleviate the pain and often save the tooth from extraction.
Crown elongation, sometimes called crown lengthening, involves removing gum tissue to reveal more of a tooth’s structure. We frequently recommend this to create a better foundation for restorations like fillings or dental crowns. Crown lengthening can also be part of a cosmetic dentistry plan to create a balanced smile.
We proudly offer advanced laser-assisted procedures to enhance your care, making it more precise, effective, and comfortable. This laser enables treatments like crown elongation to be quick and easy by eliminating the need for traditional methods that involve scalpels and sutures.
We also use this technology to provide laser periodontal therapy, which eliminates bacteria and diseased tissue and boosts your body’s natural healing power to reverse gum disease and restore your oral health.
