Periodontal Care Based on Your Gum Health
Your treatment recommendations are based on the condition of your gums, your dental and medical history, and the amount of bone support around your teeth.
We examine your teeth and gums, measure the spaces around your teeth, and review dental X-rays when needed. These findings help Dr. Fedler determine the type of periodontal care you may need.
Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance, laser treatment, or a referral for additional care.
Periodontal maintenance visits help us monitor your gums and remove plaque and tartar after treatment. We also explain how to care for your teeth and gums between visits.
Our bilingual team explains each part of your treatment and gives you time to ask questions. Let us know if you feel nervous or have sensitive teeth or gums.

Periodontal therapy treats gum disease and helps manage the health of the tissues and bone supporting your teeth. Treatment may include scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance, laser treatment, or referral to a periodontist, depending on your diagnosis.
Cost depends on how serious your gum disease is and what treatment is needed. Simple deep cleaning costs less than laser therapy. We give you a full price estimate at your consultation with no surprises.
Most patients feel little to no pain during the procedure. We use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Some tenderness after is normal and usually goes away within a day or two.
LANAP is a laser-based treatment for gum disease. It removes infected tissue with more precision than traditional methods and causes less bleeding and discomfort. Healing time is also faster.
Common signs include bleeding gums when you brush, persistent bad breath, gums that look red or swollen, teeth that feel loose, and gums that seem to be pulling away from your teeth. If you notice any of these, come in right away.
It depends on the severity. A single deep cleaning session can take one to two hours. Advanced cases may require multiple visits over several weeks. We tell you exactly what to expect before we start.
Early stage gum disease, called gingivitis, can be fully reversed with proper treatment and good home care. Advanced periodontitis cannot be fully reversed but it can be controlled and managed effectively.
The right choice is someone who listens, uses modern tools, and gives you a clear treatment plan. Dental Faith has a five-star Google rating and hundreds of satisfied patients across Nashville. Come in and see for yourself.
