Periodontal Dentistry & Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is a serious condition that can lead to tooth loss and other long-term issues. Crestpointe Dental provides several effective treatment options for gum disease.
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a condition caused by bacteria in the mouth affecting the gums. This can lead to swelling, bleeding, and other symptoms. Over time, it can cause the gums to recede, which can lead to further complications.
Gum disease can lead to a wide range of additional problems as the gum tissue and bone supporting the teeth deteriorates. This can allow teeth to become loose and even fall out over time. Gum disease prevention and treatment are incredibly important to avoid these serious issues.
If you are experiencing the symptoms of gum disease, such as pain, swelling, bleeding or gum recession, reach out to Crestpointe Dental and schedule an examination with Dr. Crescencia Tejero-Ugay. We will develop a personalized treatment plan to ensure that you get the best possible results from your treatment. There are several treatment options available for gum disease, depending on how far it has progressed and other individual factors.
Arestin® is an antibiotic that can effectively combat the bacteria responsible for periodontal disease. It can be applied to the pockets and crevices between the gums and teeth that form during periodontal disease. These pockets allow bacteria to thrive and grow, further worsening the condition.
Arestin® is often used to supplement other periodontal treatment options and reduce the number of bacteria present during the healing process. The antibiotic is applied at the time of the procedure and can provide lasting protection and improved results.
Crestpointe Dental also provides root scaling and root planing. Dr. Crescencia Tejero-Ugay uses specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar that create bacteria deposits deep within pockets around the teeth. There’s no way for patients to reach these areas during regular brushing.
As gum disease progresses, it can reach a point where surgical intervention is required to deal with bacteria that have penetrated deep below the gumline.
I have been a patient here for over 5 years and love this office! The staff is great and super
friendly. Everyone makes you feel like family. The quality of care is excellent. Plus they have
Netflix/Disney+ in each office so you can watch a show during your cleaning!

The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. I actually look forward to my dentist
appointments, unlike my previous dentists. Everyone is very informative and I appreciate that.
Everyone here is extremely friendly and warm. I have a phobia of dental work but with them, I
feel comfortable, I never feel pushed if I have to take a minute. I have had things from just my
usual cleaning to moderate work and have no complaints. Now my wife and son have gone andwill keep going.
I've been doing bi-yearly cleanings since before the pandemic, and the experiences have been
consistent and great! There is little to no waiting time for the appointment. The staff explains
everything that is going on, and the cleanings have been painless. They check whether you're comfortable from time to time, and I never had problems.
I have been going here for a while now and as usual, I was helped right away, and my
appointment started right on the dot from when I scheduled it. The staff was kind and helpful as always— double checking if everything was alright and if I needed anything. I would definitelyrecommend this place to anyone looking for good service :)
LOVE COMING HERE! Friendly staff, Dr is very informative with procedures and makes sureyou are comfortable!
Dr. Cresma Ugay is wonderful and so is her staff. The office is clean and I felt very safe. I am
very grateful to Dr. Ugay for diagnosing my sleep disorder. I am on my way to better health!
I've been coming here for over 2 years now and I'm very happy I switched to Crestpointe Dental Care. I find the staff super friendly and helpful. The Dentist is very skilled and caring. I never feel rushed and they always check if I'm comfortable during my cleaning.
