Patient Guide
Healthy gums are the foundation for every dental plan.
Gum disease can be quiet at first. Bleeding, bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, and bone loss may develop gradually, and many patients do not feel pain until the condition is more advanced.
Astra Dental evaluates gum health with measurements, X-rays, bleeding patterns, plaque and tartar levels, and risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, dry mouth, and home-care challenges.
Gum health matters for natural teeth, crowns, bridges, dentures, and especially dental implants.

Common Questions
Gum Disease Treatment FAQ
Why does gum health matter for implants?
Implants need healthy surrounding bone and tissue. Gum disease control is important before and after implant treatment.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Gingivitis can often improve with proper care. Periodontitis involves bone loss and usually requires ongoing management rather than a one-time cure.
Why do I need periodontal maintenance?
After gum disease treatment, more frequent maintenance can help control bacteria and monitor bone and gum stability.
