At <a href=\"\/north-wales-pa\/\">Universal Dentistry<\/a> in North Wales, our periodontal services are designed to treat and prevent gum disease, protect your teeth, and maintain overall oral health. We work closely with patients of all ages to provide compassionate, effective care that is tailored to your needs and budget.<\/p>\n<p>Our top periodontal treatments in North Wales include:<\/p>\n<h2>Periodontal Deep Cleaning (Scaling &amp; Root Planing)<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16754 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.universaldentistry.net\/north-wales-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/01\/periodontal-treatment-north-wales-pa.jpeg\" alt=\"periodontal treatment North Wales, PA\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" \/>When plaque and tartar build up below the gum line, it can lead to gum disease and bone loss. Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure that removes these deposits, smoothing the tooth roots to encourage gum reattachment and reduce inflammation. This treatment helps halt the progression of gum disease and protect your teeth for the long term.<\/p>\n<h2>Gingival Contouring<\/h2>\n<p>Gingival contouring reshapes uneven or excessive gum tissue to improve both oral health and appearance. By carefully sculpting the gums, we can create a more balanced, symmetrical smile while making teeth easier to clean and maintain. This procedure can be combined with <a href=\"\/north-wales-pa\/our-services\/restorative-dentistry\/\">restorative<\/a> or <a href=\"\/north-wales-pa\/our-services\/cosmetic-dentistry\/\">cosmetic<\/a> treatments for optimal results.<\/p>\n<h2>Antimicrobial &amp; Antibiotic Rinse Therapy<\/h2>\n<p>For patients with active gum disease or at higher risk, we offer targeted antimicrobial and antibiotic rinse therapy. These treatments reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth, helping to control infection, decrease inflammation, and support healing. Used alongside <a href=\"\/north-wales-pa\/our-services\/preventive-dentistry\/\">routine cleanings<\/a> and deep scaling, this therapy strengthens periodontal health over time.<\/p>\n<h2>Affordable Periodontal Care<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16755 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.universaldentistry.net\/north-wales-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/01\/north-wales-pa-dentist-periodontal-treatment.jpeg\" alt=\"man loving his smile after periodontal care at Universal Dentistry in North Wales, PA\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" \/>As a fee-for-service practice, Universal Dentistry in North Wales is able to offer high-quality periodontal care at prices often 40\u201360% lower than traditional practices.
