  • New Teeth in One Day: For qualifying patients, we offer same-day dental implants, allowing you to walk out of our Lakewood Ranch office with functional teeth in just one visit.

Gum Disease Treatment in Sarasota County

Gum disease is one of the most common oral health problems in adults, yet many people don’t realize they have it until it’s advanced. At Rubino Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in Lakewood Ranch, we provide comprehensive gum disease treatment to protect your oral health and save your natural teeth.

Warning Signs of Gum Disease:

  • periodontitisBleeding gums during brushing or flossing

  • Gums pulling away from teeth (receding)
  • Persistent bad breath or bad taste
  • Loose or separating teeth
  • Changes in your bite or the fit of dentures
  • Visible pus between teeth and gums

Our Sarasota periodontists provide various treatment options based on the severity of your condition:

Non-Surgical Gum Disease Treatment:

  • Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to remove plaque and tartar below the gumline
  • Ultrasonic scaling for thorough, gentle cleanings
  • Antibiotic therapy to control bacterial infection
  • Laser Therapy uses laser technology to remove diseased tissue and bacteria while promoting healing.
  • Periodontal maintenance to prevent disease recurrence

Surgical Gum Disease Treatment:

Dr. Thomas Rubino has been treating gum disease in Sarasota and Manatee Counties since 1988, bringing more than three decades of experience to every patient. Our Lakewood Ranch team uses evidence-based approaches and the latest technology to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Minimally Invasive Gum Recession Treatment

gum recessionReceding gums aren’t just a cosmetic concern—they can lead to tooth sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and eventually tooth loss. Traditional gum grafting involves removing tissue from the roof of your mouth and suturing it over the exposed areas, which can be uncomfortable and requires significant recovery time.

At our Lakewood Ranch office, Dr. Ryan Rubino is trained in the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique, a revolutionary approach to treating gum recession. This minimally invasive procedure offers:

  • No Scalpels or Sutures: Dr. Rubino makes a tiny pinhole in your gum tissue and uses special instruments to gently loosen and reposition your gums
  • No Donor Tissue Needed: Unlike traditional grafting, no tissue is removed from your palate
  • Minimal Discomfort: Most patients experience very little pain during or after the procedure
  • Quick Recovery: Return to normal activities faster than with traditional grafting
  • Immediate Results: See cosmetic improvement right away
  • Treat Multiple Sites: Address several areas of recession in one appointment

If you’re experiencing gum recession in Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, or the surrounding areas, the Chao Pinhole® Technique may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Call 941-201-3055 today to schedule your consultation.

Bone Grafting and Regeneration

When gum disease, tooth loss, or trauma causes jawbone deterioration, bone grafting can rebuild lost bone structure. This is often necessary before dental implant placement to ensure adequate bone support. Our Lakewood Ranch periodontists perform various bone grafting procedures, including:

  • Bone Grafting & Sinus LiftsSocket Preservation: Placing bone graft material immediately after tooth extraction preserves the bone ridge and prepares the site for future implant placement
  • Ridge Augmentation: Rebuilding the width and height of the jawbone ridge that has deteriorated
  • Sinus Lift (Sinus Augmentation): Adding bone to the upper jaw to provide adequate support for dental implants in the posterior maxilla
  • Guided Bone Regeneration: Using barrier membranes to encourage natural bone regrowth
  • Block Bone Grafting: Transplanting a section of bone from another area for more extensive reconstruction

We use various grafting materials, including synthetic bone, processed bone allograft, and xenografts, selecting the best option for your specific situation.

Comfortable Treatment with Sedation Dentistry

We understand that periodontal procedures can cause anxiety for some patients. That’s why our Lakewood Ranch office offers sedation dentistry options to ensure your comfort throughout treatment. Whether you have a dental phobia or simply want a more relaxed experience, we can customize your sedation level to meet your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a periodontist different from a general dentist?

A periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses specifically on the health of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, as well as dental implant placement. After completing four years of dental school, periodontists complete an additional three years of specialized training in periodontics.

At our Lakewood Ranch office, all three of our doctors—Dr. Thomas Rubino, Dr. Ryan Rubino, and Dr. Tyler Rubino are board-certified periodontists, meaning they’ve demonstrated the highest level of competency in their specialty.

When should I see a periodontist in Lakewood Ranch?

You should consider scheduling a consultation at our Lakewood Ranch office if you’re experiencing:

  • Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
  • Red, swollen, or tender gums
  • Gums pulling away from your teeth
  • Persistent bad breath despite good oral hygiene
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Teeth that look longer than they used to (gum recession)
  • Pain when chewing
  • Missing teeth that you’d like to replace with dental implants

Additionally, your general dentist may refer you to our periodontists for specialized treatment or evaluation, even if you don’t have obvious symptoms.

Do I need a referral to see a periodontist?

While many of our Lakewood Ranch patients come to us through referrals from their general dentists, a referral is not required. You can schedule a consultation directly with our office if you’re concerned about your gum health, interested in dental implants, or simply want a second opinion about recommended periodontal treatment.

If your general dentist has referred you to our practice, please bring any X-rays, records, or referral information to your first appointment.

How often do I need periodontal maintenance after gum disease treatment?

After completing active gum disease treatment, most patients require periodontal maintenance cleanings every three to four months rather than the typical six-month interval. 

Your specific maintenance schedule will be determined based on factors including the severity of your gum disease, your oral hygiene habits, your overall health, and your response to treatment. During your visits to our Lakewood Ranch office, we’ll continuously evaluate your needs and adjust your maintenance schedule accordingly.
