Comprehensive Periodontal Treatment

Dr. Donald Roman and Dr. Alissa Roman of Roman Dental ArtsPeriodontal disease is a serious condition, but it is highly treatable when addressed early. Our doctors and their experienced team use the latest non-surgical and surgical methods to stop disease progression, reduce inflammation, and restore gum health. Depending on your needs, treatment may include:

  • Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning)
  • Prescription therapeutic rinses
  • Advanced laser-assisted therapy
  • Ongoing maintenance and monitoring

With our fully digital workflow and modern technology, you can expect more precise results, greater comfort, and a faster return to health. Our top periodontal treatments in Hackensack, NJ, include:

Gingivectomy

A gingivectomy removes or reshapes excess or diseased gum tissue to improve both health and appearance. This treatment is ideal for patients with a “gummy smile” or deep periodontal pockets. Using laser technology or specialized instruments, we can precisely sculpt the gum line with minimal discomfort and quicker healing. The result is a cleaner, healthier foundation – and a more balanced, confident smile.

Pinhole® Gum Rejuvenation

For patients with gum recession, the Pinhole® Gum Rejuvenation Technique (PGR) offers a modern, minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum grafting. Instead of sutures or donor tissue, a tiny pinhole opening allows us to gently reposition your existing gum tissue to cover exposed roots. This technique provides immediate cosmetic improvement, little to no bleeding, and a much faster, more comfortable recovery.

Chemotherapeutic Rinse

When gingivitis or early gum disease is present, we may prescribe a chemotherapeutic rinse to reduce harmful bacteria and support healing. These prescription-strength rinses reach areas brushing and flossing alone can’t, helping control inflammation and protect your gums during active treatment. They are a powerful adjunct to your at-home routine and play an important role in maintaining healthy tissue.

Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy

Frequently Asked Questions

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is an infection and inflammation of the tissues that support your teeth. It develops when plaque and bacteria accumulate along the gum line, potentially leading to gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss if left untreated.

Common signs of gum disease include bleeding gums, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, sensitivity, or changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite. If you notice any of these symptoms, a periodontal evaluation can help identify the cause and determine the right treatment.

Gum disease is primarily caused by the buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth. Without proper brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, plaque can harden into tartar and lead to inflammation and infection around the gums.

Your periodontal treatment at Roman Dental Arts will depend on the severity of your gum disease. Care may include a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), prescription therapeutic rinses, laser-assisted therapy, gum maintenance visits, or other procedures designed to restore gum health and prevent further damage.

Scaling and root planing is a periodontal deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. The tooth roots are then smoothed to help the gums heal and reattach more effectively, reducing pockets where harmful bacteria can collect.

Laser-assisted periodontal therapy uses advanced dental laser technology to precisely target infected gum tissue and bacteria while helping reduce inflammation. This minimally invasive approach can promote healing, minimize bleeding, and support healthier gum tissue.

Pinhole® Gum Rejuvenation is a minimally invasive treatment for gum recession. Instead of using traditional grafting methods, a small opening is made in the gum tissue so the existing gums can be gently repositioned over exposed tooth roots, helping improve both gum health and smile aesthetics.

A gingivectomy is a procedure that removes or reshapes excess or diseased gum tissue. It may be recommended to reduce deep periodontal pockets, improve access for cleaning, or create a more balanced gum line for patients with a gummy smile.

Yes. Research has shown a connection between oral health and overall wellness. Chronic inflammation from untreated gum disease may contribute to broader health concerns, which is why early detection and ongoing periodontal care are important.

Roman Dental Arts provides personalized periodontal care backed by more than 40 years of combined dental experience. Our father-daughter dental team uses advanced technology, including laser-assisted treatments and digital diagnostics, to provide precise, comfortable care focused on restoring and protecting your gum health for the long term.
