Gum Disease Shouldn't Steal Your Teeth
Left untreated, gum disease destroys bone and leads to tooth loss. With LANAP laser treatment and expert periodontal care, we can stop the damage and help you keep your natural teeth.
Start Your ConsultationBoard-certified periodontist with 20+ years experience. From early gum disease to advanced bone loss, Dr. De Andrade uses LANAP laser technology and minimally invasive techniques to save teeth others would pull.
Half of adults over 30 have some form of gum disease. Left untreated, it silently destroys the bone that holds your teeth in place. The good news: caught early or even at advanced stages, periodontal treatment can stop the damage and save your teeth.
At Anthem Periodontics, Dr. Ed De Andrade brings 20+ years of specialized training in treating gum disease, performing laser surgery, and rebuilding lost bone and tissue. If your dentist referred you — or you suspect something is wrong — this is where to start.
From gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, we diagnose the stage of disease and create a targeted treatment plan to stop bone loss and save your natural teeth.
FDA-cleared laser gum surgery that eliminates diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums. Less pain, faster healing, and better outcomes than traditional cut-and-suture surgery.
When gum disease has destroyed supporting bone, grafting procedures rebuild the foundation your teeth need. Essential for long-term tooth retention and implant candidacy.
Reshape gum and bone tissue to expose more tooth structure for restorations, or correct a gummy smile for improved esthetics and confidence.
Receding gums expose roots, cause sensitivity, and put teeth at risk. Connective tissue grafting and pinhole techniques restore coverage and protect against further loss.
Ongoing specialized cleanings and monitoring to keep gum disease from returning after treatment. More thorough than a standard cleaning — designed for patients with a history of periodontitis.
Dr. De Andrade graduated at the top of his class from NYU College of Dentistry, completed specialty training in periodontics, and has spent more than two decades serving patients throughout the Las Vegas area.
He has taught at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine, published in leading dental journals, and is certified in LANAP laser periodontal therapy. For patients with gum disease, that means treatment built on deep expertise, advanced technology, and a commitment to saving teeth.
Request a Periodontal Evaluation
Periodontal care should feel clear, not overwhelming. We walk you through each phase so you know exactly what to expect.
We measure pocket depths, assess bone levels with imaging, evaluate gum recession, and determine the severity of disease — then explain your options clearly.
Based on your diagnosis, we recommend the least invasive effective treatment — whether that's deep cleaning, LANAP laser surgery, grafting, or a combination approach.
After active treatment, we monitor healing and transition you to a maintenance schedule designed to keep disease from returning. Most patients see significant improvement within weeks.
Common signs include bleeding when brushing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, receding gumlines, and loose teeth. A periodontal evaluation with probing and X-rays gives a definitive answer.
LANAP uses a specialized laser to remove diseased tissue and bacteria from periodontal pockets without cutting or suturing. It promotes bone regeneration, causes less discomfort, and has a faster recovery than traditional surgery.
Most patients report less discomfort than expected, especially with LANAP. We offer sedation options and local anesthesia. Many return to normal activities the next day.
Early-stage gingivitis is fully reversible. Advanced periodontitis can be stopped and managed, but lost bone typically requires grafting to rebuild. The earlier you treat it, the more you can save.
Stop wondering if your gums are getting worse. One visit with a board-certified periodontist gives you a diagnosis, treatment options, and a clear path forward.
