Henderson's only board-certified periodontist. From early gum disease to advanced surgical treatment — specialist care that saves teeth.
Half of adults over 30 have some form of periodontal disease. Left untreated, it destroys the bone and tissue that support your teeth — leading to loose teeth, infections, and tooth loss.
At Anthem Periodontics, Dr. Ed De Andrade provides the full spectrum of periodontal care — from non-surgical deep cleaning to advanced regenerative surgery. As a board-certified periodontist with 20+ years of experience, he delivers the specialist-level treatment that general dentists refer their most complex cases to.
Deep cleaning below the gumline to remove bacteria and tartar. The first line of defense against gum disease. Often resolves early-to-moderate periodontitis without surgery.
When deep pockets persist after non-surgical treatment, osseous surgery reshapes bone and reduces pocket depth. Stops disease progression and makes home care effective again.
Receding gums expose roots, cause sensitivity, and accelerate decay. Connective tissue grafts restore gum coverage and protect your teeth long-term.
Excess gum tissue covering teeth ("gummy smile") or insufficient tooth structure for a crown. Precise gum and bone recontouring by a specialist.
Gum disease around dental implants threatens implant survival. Dr. De Andrade specializes in saving compromised implants with targeted surgical and non-surgical protocols.
Minimally invasive laser treatment for gum disease. Less discomfort, faster healing, and precision targeting of diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums.
Periodontal care should feel informed, not overwhelming. We walk you through each phase so you know exactly what happens next.
Full periodontal charting, pocket depth measurements, CT imaging of bone levels. Complete diagnosis in one visit.
Scaling and root planing, antimicrobial therapy, and personalized home care protocols. Many cases resolve here.
Osseous surgery, gum grafting, or regenerative procedures performed by Dr. De Andrade. Sedation options available.
Regular periodontal maintenance prevents recurrence. Customized intervals based on your disease severity and healing response.
Dr. De Andrade completed his specialty training in periodontics at NYU College of Dentistry and has spent more than 20 years treating gum disease and performing periodontal surgery throughout the Las Vegas area.
He has taught at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine, published in leading dental journals, and earned recognition from peers for excellence in care. For periodontal patients, that means treatment built on deep specialty knowledge, surgical precision, and a commitment to saving teeth whenever possible.
Schedule a Periodontal EvaluationBleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, pain when chewing. Gum disease is often painless in early stages — many patients don't know they have it until significant damage has occurred.
Modern periodontal treatment is far more comfortable than most patients expect. Local anesthesia and sedation options are available. Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.
Gum disease can be effectively controlled and managed, but chronic periodontitis requires ongoing maintenance. Early treatment prevents bone loss and tooth loss. The key is catching it before irreversible damage occurs.
Periodontists complete 3 additional years of specialty training specifically in gum and bone diseases. For moderate-to-severe gum disease, specialist training directly improves treatment outcomes and long-term tooth retention.
Non-surgical treatment (scaling and root planing) typically ranges from $500–$2,000 depending on severity. Surgical procedures vary by complexity. Most dental insurance covers periodontal treatment. We provide transparent quotes at consultation.
After active treatment, most patients are seen every 3–4 months for periodontal maintenance. This is different from a regular cleaning — it's specialized care that monitors pocket depths, manages bacteria, and prevents recurrence.
Gum disease is the #1 cause of adult tooth loss — and it's treatable. The first step is a comprehensive evaluation with Dr. De Andrade.
