Whether you're dealing with early-stage gingivitis or more advanced periodontitis, we provide personalized treatment that addresses the root cause, restores gum health, and protects your smile for the long term. Using advanced diagnostic tools and gentle techniques, we help you get your gums back on track, comfortably and effectively.

Benefits of Gum Disease Treatment
Treating gum disease early does far more than save your gums. It protects your teeth, your jawbone, and your overall health. With the right care, even patients with advanced gum issues can regain a healthy, confident smile.
Stops Gum Disease in Its Tracks
Professional treatment removes the harmful bacteria and buildup driving gum disease, halting its progression and preventing further damage.
Protects Teeth and Jawbone
Timely treatment prevents gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss, preserving your natural smile and long-term oral health.
Improves Overall Health
Gum disease is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions. Treating it supports not just your smile, but your whole-body wellness.
The Gum Disease Treatment Process
Comprehensive Periodontal Evaluation
We begin with a thorough exam, digital X-rays, and gum measurements to accurately assess the stage of gum disease and plan the right treatment.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Based on your diagnosis, we create a custom treatment plan that may include deep cleaning, scaling and root planing, or more advanced therapies.
Deep Cleaning and Scaling & Root Planing
Using gentle techniques, we remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, then smooth the roots to help gums reattach to the teeth.
Targeted Therapy and Recovery Support
When needed, we use antimicrobial treatments and provide clear home care guidance to reduce bacteria, calm inflammation, and support healing.
Ongoing Maintenance and Monitoring
Regular follow-up visits and periodontal maintenance cleanings help keep gum disease under control and prevent it from returning long term.

Common Questions About Gum Disease Treatment
Everything you need to know before your visit, from appointments to treatments and care.
Contact UsGum disease treatment typically costs between $200 and $1,500, depending on the severity of the condition and the type of treatment needed. Deep cleanings like scaling and root planing generally range from $200 to $500 per quadrant. At Organ Mountain Dental in Las Cruces, we provide a clear, personalized estimate during your consultation.
Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, and tenderness when chewing. In early stages, symptoms can be mild and easy to miss. Regular dental exams are the best way to catch and treat gum disease before it progresses.
Yes, early-stage gum disease, known as gingivitis, can often be fully reversed with professional cleaning and improved at-home care. More advanced periodontitis can't be completely reversed, but it can be effectively managed and stopped from progressing with the right treatment plan and ongoing maintenance.
Gum disease treatment should not hurt. For deep cleanings, we use local anesthesia to keep you fully comfortable. Some patients experience mild gum tenderness or sensitivity for a few days afterward, which typically fades quickly and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Treatment timelines vary based on severity. Mild gingivitis can improve within a few weeks of professional cleaning and good home care. Moderate to advanced gum disease may require several visits over a few months, followed by periodontal maintenance every 3 to 4 months to keep it under control long term.
Untreated gum disease can lead to gum recession, bone loss, loose or shifting teeth, and eventually tooth loss. It has also been linked to serious health issues like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes complications. Early treatment is key to protecting both your smile and your overall health.
