Top Gum Disease Treatment in Leesburg, VA

Gum Disease

At Loudoun Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Haidy Messih and our experienced team provide comprehensive periodontal therapy to help patients achieve and maintain optimal gum health. As one of the top dental practices in Leesburg, we’re committed to delivering the best gum disease treatment options with personalized care that fits your budget and insurance coverage.

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that affects the tissues surrounding and supporting your teeth. It begins as gingivitis, a mild form of gum inflammation caused by plaque buildup along the gumline. Without proper treatment, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe condition that can damage the soft tissue and bone supporting your teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss.

The good news is that gum disease is preventable and treatable, especially when caught early. Our comprehensive services focus on both treating existing conditions and preventing future complications through personalized care plans.

Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease

Recognizing the early warning signs of gum disease can help you seek treatment before the condition worsens. Common symptoms include:

  • Red, swollen, or tender gums
  • Bleeding during brushing or flossing
  • Persistent bad breath or bad taste
  • Receding gums or teeth appearing longer
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Changes in your bite
  • Pus between teeth and gums

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait to schedule an evaluation. Early intervention leads to better outcomes and more affordable treatment options.

Each implant type offers unique advantages, and Dr. Messih will recommend the best option based on your oral health, bone density, lifestyle, and treatment goals during your consultation.
