GUM DISEASE TREATMENT AT ACE DENTAL Center
Protect your teeth and overall health with advanced gum disease treatment at Ace Dental Center in Lombard, IL. Dr. Azam Saeed treats gingivitis and periodontitis before they cause tooth loss and affect your systemic health.

Dr. Saeed uses proven therapies to eliminate infection, restore gum health, and prevent progression. Treatment is gentle, effective, and protects your smile for decades to come.

Benefits of Gum Disease Treatment
Prevent Tooth Loss
Gum disease destroys the bone holding your teeth in place. Dr. Saeed's treatment at Ace Dental Center stops this destruction and stabilizes your teeth. Patients who complete periodontal therapy keep their natural teeth for life instead of facing extractions and expensive replacements.
Eliminate Infection & Bad Breath
Bacterial infection causes persistent bad breath that mouthwash can't fix. Dr. Azam Saeed removes the bacteria living below your gum line at our Lombard practice. Patients report fresh breath returning within days of treatment completion.
Protect Your Overall Health
Research links gum disease bacteria to heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes complications. Treating periodontal infection at Ace Dental Center reduces inflammation throughout your body. Dr. Saeed's patients often see improvements in blood sugar control and cardiovascular health markers.
Dr. Saeed measures pocket depths around every tooth using a periodontal probe. Healthy gums have pockets 1 to 3mm deep. Diseased gums measure 4mm or deeper. Digital X-rays reveal bone loss patterns. This assessment determines your treatment needs at our Lombard office.
Dr. Azam Saeed numbs your gums for comfort. He uses ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments to remove hardened tartar and bacteria from below the gum line. Root surfaces are smoothed to prevent future bacterial attachment. Treatment is typically completed over two to four appointments at Ace Dental Center.
For deeper pockets, Dr. Saeed places antibiotic medication directly into infected areas. This targets resistant bacteria that scaling alone might miss. The medication releases slowly over several days, continuing to fight infection between your Lombard appointments.
Gums heal and reattach to teeth over the next few weeks. Dr. Saeed schedules a follow-up at Ace Dental Center to re-measure pocket depths and confirm healing. Patients transition to periodontal maintenance cleanings every 3 to 4 months. This prevents disease recurrence and protects your investment.

Dr. Saeed uses local anesthesia so you feel no discomfort during treatment at Ace Dental Center. Some patients experience mild soreness for a day or two afterward, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most Lombard patients report treatment was much easier than anticipated.
Initial scaling and root planing typically requires 2 to 4 appointments at our Lombard practice, depending on disease severity. Each appointment lasts 60 to 90 minutes. Dr. Azam Saeed evaluates healing 4 to 6 weeks later. Most patients see significant improvement within this timeframe.
Yes. Bleeding gums indicate infection and inflammation. Once Dr. Saeed removes the bacteria causing infection at Ace Dental Center, inflammation resolves and bleeding stops. Most Lombard patients notice dramatic improvement within one to two weeks of completing treatment.
Gum disease is controllable but requires ongoing maintenance. Dr. Azam Saeed can stop active infection and restore gum health. However, without regular periodontal cleanings every 3 to 4 months, bacteria return and disease recurs. Think of it like managing high blood pressure rather than curing a cold.
