Periodontal Services
Healthy gums are the foundation of a lasting smile. At Piedmont Dental By Design, Dr. Jill Martenson and Dr. David Ma work alongside skilled hygienists and a board-certified periodontist to protect, treat, and restore gum health using both non-surgical and surgical techniques.
From early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis — and from grafts that reverse recession to sinus lifts that prepare you for implants — every treatment is staged carefully to your condition and paired with home-care guidance to prevent recurrence.
