Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal Therapy is the process of restoring health to the gums and bones that support your teeth.
Treating Periodontal Disease
When periodontal disease, a bacterial infection, sets in, the infection not only endangers your gum tissues, but it also can spread to your bones and teeth. If left untreated, you’re in danger of gum, bone, and tooth loss. If it is determined that you have periodontal disease, it is important to initiate treatment immediately to avoid its progression. A common treatment plan may consist of six to eight visits to our dental office in West Lafayette, IN where “deep” cleanings are performed on the affected areas. If your case is severe, you may be referred to a periodontal specialist.
Signs of Periodontal Disease
- Red, Swollen, or Bleeding Gums
- Persistent bad breath or bad taste in the mouth
- Gums that recede or pull away from the tooth
- Loose or Mobile Teeth
I contacted this dental office after recently moving to the area. The staff is very friendly and treats me like I have been coming for years. The treatment for my toothache was clearly explained to me and they offered several options, one of which was seeking a specialists opinion before proceeding. I did have the procedure done at this office because I felt that my well being was their top priority. Highly recommend. A++++

Caring, friendly, knowledgable staff in a calm, welcoming environment-- what more can you want?! Linda, Jean, Anna, Rob, and of course Dr. Swoverland all go above and beyond. I've been going to Dr. Swoverland for almost 20 years. No complaints!!

I am beyond happy with my results... I began by getting Invisalign to straighten my teeth a few years ago. I loved the results but recently decided I wanted to do something about the stains on my teeth that I’ve had since I was a kid. I had a consultation and it was decided I would try veneers. I LOVE them... I would definitely recommend Impressions Dental to anyone needing any type of dental work! Very professional staff and a clean, friendly environment.
