Periodontal disease, commonly referred to as gum disease, is one of the most common yet overlooked oral health conditions. It affects roughly half of adults. Left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and even impact your overall health. At Calvert Dentistry, we take a proactive, comprehensive approach to treating gum disease. In addition to traditional deep cleaning methods like scaling and root planing, we offer advanced options like laser therapy and antibiotics to promote faster healing and long-term gum health.

Routine dental visits do more than clean your teeth; they give us a window into your oral health. At Calvert Dentistry, we’re committed to offering advanced, patient-focused care, which is why we include an iTero digital scan at every checkup. This quick, noninvasive technology gives us a highly accurate 3D model of your teeth and gums, helping us detect issues earlier, track changes over time, and offer personalized treatment recommendations.

Choosing to invest the time and financial resources into straightening your teeth is a big decision, and with so many treatment options available, it can be tough to know which one is right for you. Clear aligners have become a popular alternative to traditional braces, and for good reason. They’re discreet, comfortable, and designed to fit into your everyday life. But while they work well for many people, they’re not the right solution for everyone.
