Keep your smile healthy from the roots up with our compassionate periodontal care. At Terrace Creek Dental Care, we treat gum disease with the same gentle touch and personalized care that define all our services.

What is Periodontal Treatment?

Periodontal treatment focuses on the health of your gums and the bones that support your teeth. When bacteria build up on your teeth, it can lead to gum inflammation (gingivitis) or more serious gum disease (periodontitis). Our treatments, like scaling and root planing, gently remove this bacteria to restore your gum health.

The Benefits of Periodontal Treatment

Here are a few benefits of getting treatment:

• Save Your Smile: Prevent tooth loss by treating gum disease early
• Better Overall Health: Gum health is linked to heart and overall health
• Fresh Breath: Say goodbye to bad breath caused by gum bacteria

Our Treatment Process

Step 1

Personalized Assessment

First, we'll gently examine your gums, measuring the depth of pockets around your teeth. These measurements help us understand your gum health and create a personalized treatment plan.

Step 2

Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)

Using special tools, we'll carefully remove tartar and bacteria above and below the gum line. This "deep cleaning" helps your gums reattach to your teeth, promoting healing. We offer sedation options to ensure your comfort.

Step 3

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

After treatment, we'll schedule regular check-ups to monitor your gum health. We'll also give you personalized tips for at-home care, like proper brushing and flossing techniques, to keep your gums healthy.

Christina D.

"Dr Jagow and staff are absolutely wonderful. Everyone I have had the chance to meet has been incredibly friendly and helpful. Anthony from the front desk has gone out of his way multiple times to help accommodate scheduling and help with insurance. The techs and assistants are great! Dr Jagow is friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent dentist. I’ve had cleanings, my first crown, and my first veneers in her office and every time has been a great experience. I love that they can print crowns in house. 100% recommend."

Stephen K.

"She is very informative about what she is doing. I have now been to see Dr. Jagow twice in the last 3 weeks. Once for a first time cleaning, and second for a filling to be replaced. She is very informative about what she is doing and makes sure you are comfortable with everything before she does it. There was no discomfort at all with anything she did, including drilling out the old filling without numbing me (at my choice). She is that good! As is her staff, they are all, simply amazing!"

Mark S.

"Dr. Jagow has a very gentle manner and touch, while at the same time demonstrating her extensive knowledge and skill. She and her very capable staff work together like a well-oiled machine. Her patients get excellent care and sensible recommendations. I never feel pressured to have a particular treatment done. I highly recommend Terrace Creek Dental Care."

"Professional friendly team who were able to get me in quick! Has wonderful staff and hygienists that are attentive to patient's needs and are thorough with cleanings, addressing oral health, and educating patients as well! Thank you team at Terrace Creek Dental! Also side note, this is one of the few dental clinics I was able to find in the area that provided in-house dental insurance for those that may need it! Thank you again!"
