Symptoms We Evaluate
We take a close look if you’ve noticed bleeding when brushing or flossing, red or swollen gums, a gumline that’s pulling back, lingering bad breath, loose or shifting teeth, or soreness when chewing. Deep gum pockets are also worth checking, even when nothing hurts. The earlier we catch these, the simpler the care tends to be.
Serving Siler City and Chatham County
We’re proud to provide periodontal care close to home for patients from Siler City, Pittsboro, Liberty, Goldston, Bennett, Bonlee, and the growing Chatham Park area. Many of our patients tell us the biggest relief is getting quality gum treatment without the highway trip to a bigger city. Keeping care local also makes it easier to stay on schedule with maintenance, which matters for gum health.
Gum Disease Treatment at O2 Dental Group of Siler City
Treatment starts with a real diagnosis — periodontal charting around each tooth, X-rays when we need to see the bone, and a review of your history and risk factors, explained in English or Spanish. From there we recommend the least invasive care that fits: better home care for early gingivitis, scaling and root planing for active infection, and periodontal maintenance to keep it controlled. If a case needs surgical periodontal care, we coordinate a referral to a periodontist.
Deep Cleaning / Scaling and Root Planing
A deep cleaning treats gum disease; a regular cleaning maintains healthy gums. When pockets have formed, we clean below the gumline to remove the bacteria on the tooth roots, then smooth them so the gums can heal back. We numb the area so you’re comfortable, and more involved cases may be done over more than one visit.
For Patients Who Are Embarrassed or Overdue
If it’s been years since your last cleaning, or you’re nervous about what we’ll find, please don’t let that stop you. There’s no judgment here — just a clear, friendly explanation and a plan that fits your comfort and your budget. We’ll explain everything in the language you’re most comfortable with.
Periodontal Maintenance
After gum disease is treated, your gums need closer attention than the usual schedule. Maintenance cleanings — often every three to four months — keep the pockets clean and let us watch for any return of inflammation. Because we’re local, staying on that schedule is easy, which is a big part of keeping the disease controlled.
If When Gum Disease Affects Your Teeth
Advanced gum disease wears down the bone around your teeth, which can leave them loose, and occasionally a tooth can’t be saved. If that happens, we’ll explain it honestly and go over replacement options — implants, a bridge, a partial, or dentures — so you can plan the next step with a clear picture.
What to Expect at Your Visit
We listen to your symptoms, review your history, measure your gum pockets, and take X-rays if needed. Then you’ll get a clear diagnosis, your options and costs in plain language, and a maintenance plan if one’s needed. We want you to leave understanding exactly what’s going on.
Cost and Payment Options
What you’ll pay depends on the severity, X-rays, your insurance, the treatment, and how many visits it takes. We’ll give you real numbers after the evaluation. We accept most major insurance and verify your benefits first; for uninsured patients, our O2 Advantage Plan offers discounted rates, and we also offer CareCredit and Sunbit financing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to drive to Raleigh or Greensboro for gum disease treatment?
No. We provide periodontal evaluations, deep cleanings, and maintenance right here in Siler City, with referral to a specialist only if surgical care is needed.
¿Tienen personal que hable español?
Yes. Our team includes bilingual staff, so we can explain your gum diagnosis, treatment, and home care clearly in English or Spanish.
My gums bleed a little when I brush. Is that serious?
Bleeding usually signals inflammation, which is the start of gum disease. It’s easier to treat early, so it’s worth an evaluation rather than waiting.
What's the difference between a deep cleaning and a regular cleaning?
A regular cleaning maintains healthy gums above the gumline. A deep cleaning treats infection below the gumline inside the pockets, with numbing for comfort.
Can gum disease be cured?
Early gingivitis can often be reversed. More advanced gum disease is controlled rather than cured, with maintenance keeping it from progressing.
Is gum treatment affordable?
We work to keep it practical, with insurance, the O2 Advantage Plan for uninsured patients, and CareCredit and Sunbit financing. We’ll review costs at your visit.
Will I need ongoing cleanings after treatment?
Often yes — periodontal maintenance every three to four months helps keep the infection from coming back, and being local makes it easy to keep up.
