Gum Disease Treatment in Las Vegas

If your gums bleed when you brush, your breath stays bad no matter what you do, or another office recently told you that you need a deep cleaning, you are not alone. Gum problems are one of the most common reasons people in Las Vegas end up nervous about a dental visit, and the desert climate and busy schedules make it easy to put off care until something feels wrong.

At Stavarache Family Dental in northwest Las Vegas, gum disease treatment starts with an honest look at what is actually happening below the gumline. Dr. Hidy Stavarache has cared for families here since 1995, and he recommends a deep cleaning only when the measurements truly call for it. There is no upsell and no pressure, just a clear written plan you can understand before anything begins.

What Gum Disease Treatment Involves at Stavarache Family Dental

Gum disease treatment at Stavarache Family Dental begins with a careful exam. Dr. Stavarache measures the small spaces between your gums and teeth, reviews X-rays for any bone loss, and notes where bleeding or buildup is present.

Those readings tell us whether your gums need a standard cleaning, a deep cleaning, or ongoing maintenance. You see the numbers yourself, and you receive an itemized written quote first. Insurance is billed first, so you know your share before you decide.

Stages and Treatments

Gum disease moves through stages, and the right treatment depends on how far it has progressed. Catching it early keeps care simpler and less costly.

• Gingivitis is the earliest stage, where gums are red, swollen, or bleed easily, and it often improves with a regular cleaning and better home care.
• Periodontitis is more advanced, with deeper pockets and bone loss, and it is treated with scaling and root planing to clean below the gumline.
• Periodontal maintenance follows treatment, with cleanings on a closer schedule to keep the disease from returning.

Meet Dr. Hidy Stavarache

Dr. Hidy Stavarache, DDS, has practiced in Las Vegas since 1995. As the one dentist at Stavarache Family Dental, he diagnoses your gum health honestly and performs the treatment himself, so the person reading your X-rays is the same person doing your scaling and root planing.

That continuity matters with gum care. Dr. Stavarache knows your history, tracks your pocket depths over time, and tells you plainly when a deep cleaning is needed and when a regular cleaning will do. If your gums are healthy, he will say so.

What to Expect During Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a careful cleaning of the surfaces below your gumline, and the visit is built around your comfort.

First, the area is numbed so you feel pressure rather than pain. Dr. Stavarache then cleans one quadrant of your mouth at a time, removing tartar and bacteria from the tooth roots and smoothing the surfaces so the gums can heal. Treating one quadrant at a time keeps each visit manageable.

After treatment, you might notice some tenderness for a few days, which eases on its own. A follow-up visit checks how your gums are healing, and we set a periodontal maintenance schedule, usually cleanings every three to four months, to hold your progress. Our comparison of regular cleaning versus deep cleaning explains why the schedules differ.

Cost, Insurance, and Financing

Deep cleaning is priced per quadrant, which means per section of your mouth. In Las Vegas, scaling and root planing runs about $200 to $340 per quadrant, and your total depends on how many quadrants need treatment.

Many dental plans cover a share of scaling and root planing after your deductible, and Stavarache Family Dental bills your insurance first so you are not paying out of pocket for something your plan covers. You receive a written itemized quote before any work starts.

Treating gum disease early is usually less expensive than waiting, because advanced cases need more visits and more involved care.
