Periodontal Therapy

Advanced gum care solutions to treat gum disease, restore oral health, and protect your natural teeth at Molekule Dental.

What is Periodontal Therapy?

Periodontal therapy refers to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease, which affects the tissues and bone supporting your teeth. Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth mobility, bone loss, and eventual tooth loss. At Molekule Dental, we offer both non-surgical and surgical periodontal therapies to restore gum health and preserve your smile.
