Healthy gums are the foundation that holds your teeth in place, yet gum disease often goes unnoticed until it becomes serious. At Granada Hills Dental Group, our periodontist diagnoses and treats every stage of gum disease, from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, to protect your smile.
What's Included
Our gum care is led by Dr. Jonathan Akhavan, a periodontist who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of periodontal disease and is certified in LANAP laser therapy, a gentle and effective approach to gum treatment. Care begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the scope of the disease. Treatment may include scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning that removes tartar above and below the gumline, and for more severe cases, periodontal procedures to access and clear deposits beneath the gums.

Why It Matters
Gingivitis is the mildest form of gum disease, causing red, swollen gums that bleed easily, and it is often painless and easy to overlook. If ignored, it can progress to periodontitis, which weakens the gums, loosens teeth, and can eventually lead to tooth loss. Research has even linked untreated periodontitis to broader health concerns such as heart disease, which is why early treatment matters so much.
