Periodontal Therapy in The Woodlands, TX
A Thoughtful Approach to Protecting Your
Gums and Your Overall Health
Your gum health affects more than your smile. Healthy gums support your teeth, protect your jawbone, and contribute to overall wellness. When gum disease is found early, treatment is often simpler and easier to manage. Without steady care, small areas of inflammation can slowly turn into larger concerns.
At Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group, in The Woodlands, TX, comprehensive periodontal treatment is built on careful diagnosis and conservative care. Our goal is to treat infection early, protect your natural teeth, and support long-term stability.
We are known for our detailed approach. A new patient appointment typically lasts about 90 minutes because proper care requires a full understanding of your oral and overall health. Necessary digital X-rays and a complete periodontal exam allow us to evaluate the entire mouth. We focus on the whole patient, not just isolated findings, and provide ethical recommendations based on what is truly appropriate.

Frequently
Asked Questions
What is the difference between deep cleaning teeth and a regular cleaning?
A regular cleaning focuses on removing plaque and tartar above the gumline. Deep cleaning teeth, also called scaling and root planing, removes buildup from below the gumline and smooths the roots to treat infection.
Can gum disease be cured?
Early-stage gum disease may improve with professional care and consistent home habits. More advanced cases may require ongoing periodontitis therapy to manage infection and maintain stability.
Is gum infection treatment painful?
The area being treated is numbed to keep you comfortable. Most patients report that the procedure feels manageable, and any mild soreness afterward typically resolves within a few days.
How often will I need maintenance visits after periodontal treatment?
Many patients benefit from visits every three to four months. These appointments help maintain results and reduce the risk of further infection after periodontal treatment.
