Treatment for Gum Disease
Your gums are the foundation of your smile. At Town Center Dental of LaGrange, we help patients realize the importance of optimal gum health. While we are meticulous about evaluating your gum health with general dentistry, we also have the ability to treat your gums if they are infected or diseased. Dr. Paes understands the devastating effects that gum disease can have, and he is equipped to restore your oral health with affordable and advanced treatment options.
Untreated gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United States. It has been linked to several serious medical conditions, including stroke, heart disease, diabetes and premature birth. Town Center Dental of LaGrange is proud to help patients avoid these consequences by offering effective periodontal therapy in our office. Whether you have mild gum disease (gingivitis) or advanced periodontitis, Dr. Paes is qualified to reverse or manage your condition.
Symptoms and Causes of Gum Disease
While there are certain risk factors for gum disease, including family history and tobacco use, most gum disease begins with poor oral hygiene. When plaque and bacteria are not properly removed with routine brushing and flossing, they can accumulate along the tooth roots and lead to infection in the gum tissues. The first stages of gum disease are the most easily treated. However, when gum disease is not addressed, the gums begin to recede and form deep pockets around the tooth roots. This harbors further bacteria and puts the surrounding bone at risk for infection as well. At its most advanced stages, gum disease can cause tooth instability and tooth loss.
Recognizing the symptoms of gum disease is important. If you are suffering from the following, call Town Center Dental of LaGrange for periodontal therapy:
- Persistent bad breath
- Red or swollen gums
- Bleeding gums
- Painful chewing
- Loose teeth
- Sensitive teeth
- Receding gums
Whether we are restoring your gum health or enhancing your smile appearance, you can trust our Lagrangeville dental practice for superior, patient-centered care. We have the unique ability to give each member of your family a comfortable and rewarding dental care experience. Regardless of the condition of your oral health or the size of your dental care budget, we make it possible to gain the smile you deserve without extra stress.

This place is awesome! My son got this super nice hygienist named Mary Ellen and he said that he was going to give this place a good review too because of her! 5 stars, my son is no longer afraid of the dentists office after he switched dentists. I have always had dental anxiety but they're so nice & gentle that I will definitely come back again!

When I say I’m scared of the dentist I’m scared. I recently had my wisdom teeth removed with iv sedation 4 days ago. The surgeon and his assistant were amazing. They made me feel very comfortable. After the surgery of course I needed some down time that day and the next morning I was a little sore. With the medicine prescribed to me I only feel some soreness but I was able to take care of my 4 kids with no problem. I recommend Town Center Dental 100%.

Lisa T.
I had been putting off a dental implant for over a year - finally decided to go have it done. Absolutely NO pain whatsoever! Not sure how it’s possible - but Dr. Pais has a kind demeanor and managed the whole process without pain, including the next day. I felt nothing! Don’t put it off - I’d highly recommend Dr. Pais for the procedure!
Irish C.
I was so scared to get a tooth extraction and implants but everyone was so calming and reassuring during the entire procedure. The doctor told me about each step as he went; the nurse was so kind and gentle. It barely hurt at all! They did a fantastic job.
