Restore the Health of Your Smile with a Personalized Gum Disease Treatment Plan

Don't live with bad breath any longer!

 
 

Don’t let gum disease ruin your smile!

The CDC reports more than half of Americans over the age of 30 have gum disease. If you are one of them, there’s a good chance you don’t even know it. Many symptoms are difficult to detect until the condition becomes more severe so we encourage all patients to be aware of the signs and seek treatment as soon as possible. Dr. Marc Purdy offers several treatment options, including minimally-invasive laser gum surgery.

Read some of our patient testimonials to see how effective — and comfortable — our gum disease treatment procedures can be!
