Your gums do a lot of heavy lifting. They keep your teeth in place, help you chew, and quietly protect your mouth every single day. At Smith Haven Dental, our team helps them do their job even better, using St. James periodontal treatments that get right to the source of trouble. Your smile will be strong, clean, and ready for anything.
Periodontics might sound like a mouthful, but it’s really about keeping your gums healthy, happy, and doing their job—and catching problems early, before they get serious.
Some gum disease symptoms to watch for include bleeding gums when brushing, persistent bad breath, and receding gums or teeth that look longer. If any of these ring a bell, don’t panic. Here’s how Smith Haven Dental keeps your gums in tip-top shape:
This at-home gum therapy uses custom trays filled with a therapeutic gel to target the bacteria causing gum disease and reduce inflammation.
Our at-home care is designed to work with our in-office treatments and support. Let us know if there are any barriers to getting to our office for care!
A high-tech laser zaps bacteria without disturbing healthy tissue. Fast, precise, and gentle, it targets the problem exactly where it lives.
Not at all. Most patients barely notice a warm sensation. In fact, some perks of laser treatment are less pain and quicker healing.
This heavy-duty clean goes below the gum line to tackle plaque and tartar buildup. Think of it as a spa day for your gums.
Most sessions are 1-2 hours, depending on the level of buildup and inflammation. We’ll give you an idea before your visit.

Sometimes advanced gum disease can cause tooth loss, but that isn’t the end for your smile. For just this situation, our Nesconset dentist offers restorations to go on top of dental implants, repairing your smile like nothing ever happened.
Each restoration is mapped to your mouth so it feels natural.
Modern techniques keep discomfort minimal.
With proper care, your implant can last a lifetime.
Your gums do more than frame your smile. They quietly affect your whole-body health. Inflammation from untreated gum disease can ripple through your body, influencing everything from your heart to your blood sugar, your lungs, and even pregnancy health. Caring for your gums is like giving your body a little insurance policy: it’s preventative, powerful, and worth the effort.
We don’t believe in “hopeless cases.” No matter where you’re starting from, we’ll find a way to help you eat, talk, and smile with confidence. Because every smile deserves a second chance.
Life can throw you curveballs, and budgets are real. Whether it’s timing, finances, or just things getting overwhelming, we’ll help you find a timeline and financing option that feels just right.
The best dental care happens when we work together. That’s why we make every decision a collaboration with you. Together, we’ll find the path that fits your goals, your life, and your smile.
At Smith Haven Dental, we make it simple to protect more than just your teeth with our Nesconset periodontic care. Whether it’s daily at-home care or a gentle deep cleaning, our goal is to keep your gums—and by extension, your body—happy, healthy, and thriving.
