Deep cleanings, maintenance visits, and gum procedures that help protect the foundation of your smile for patients across Bloomingdale and Roselle.
Pink on the toothbrush, gums that look puffy, or breath that stays sour no matter how often you rinse are easy to shrug off as minor. These are often the first signs that gum tissue is inflamed. Gum disease tends to progress quietly, and by the time a tooth feels loose, the bone that holds it in place may already be affected.
Dental Group of Bloomingdale, an office of Dental Group of Chicago, treats gum disease from early inflammation to more advanced cases. As a dentist in Bloomingdale that handles most treatment in-office, we provide deep cleanings, maintenance visits, and many gum procedures under one roof.
Gum disease starts with plaque, the sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth every day. When brushing and flossing miss it, plaque hardens into tartar, which only a professional cleaning can remove. Tartar along and below the gumline irritates the tissue, and over time the gums start to separate from the teeth, leaving pockets where still more bacteria collect.
The CDC’s gum disease facts show how widespread the problem is. From 2009 to 2014, the CDC reports, roughly 4 in 10 U.S. adults 30 and older had periodontitis, and that share reached about 60% among adults 65 and older. Because early gum disease is often painless, we check your gums at every exam.

Gum problems are easier to manage when they are caught early. Book an exam if you spot any of these changes.
Some people notice none of these signs, so routine exams matter. Gum recession can also change how your smile looks, and once your gums are healthy again, cosmetic dentistry in Bloomingdale such as bonding or veneers may help restore a fuller look.
Your treatment plan depends on how deep your gum pockets are and whether bone has been affected.
This deep cleaning reaches below the gumline. Scaling clears hardened tartar and bacteria off the teeth and out of the pockets, then root planing smooths the roots so gum tissue can heal against a cleaner surface. Local anesthesia numbs the area first, and the work may be split over two or more visits.
Advanced cases may call for more care. Options include osseous surgery to reshape bone and reduce deep pockets, gum grafting to cover exposed roots, and guided bone and tissue regeneration to help rebuild lost support.
Crown lengthening removes a small amount of gum or bone to expose more of a tooth, often before a crown is placed. A frenectomy releases a tight band of tissue that pulls on the gums or limits movement of the lip or tongue.
Gum disease can return, so treatment is usually followed by periodontal maintenance visits. These cleanings are often scheduled more frequently than standard checkups, and they let your hygienist clear out pockets before tartar builds up again. Your dentist sets the interval based on how your gums respond.
After a gum procedure, our surgical aftercare instructions explain how to care for the area while it heals. At home, brush twice a day with a soft brush, floss or use small interdental brushes every day, and avoid tobacco. Healthy gums also matter if you are considering dental implants in Bloomingdale, since implants depend on firm tissue and bone.
Costs depend on how many areas need care and whether you need a deep cleaning alone or a surgical procedure as well. Before anything is scheduled, we check what your dental plan covers and walk you through your portion of the cost up front.
Putting off gum care can lead to more involved treatment later, so we offer financing options and payment plans that help you begin sooner. Each one is described in our guide to insurance and financing.
Dr. Alex Reznikov keeps learning, with hundreds of hours of continuing education completed so far, and he wants the whole team to keep growing too.

Dr. Simardeep Hehar makes sure each patient feels heard, which helps when care spans several visits. Meet our Bloomingdale dentists.
Our dental microscopes use a direct, glare-reducing light, which gives your dentist a sharp view along the gumline, and digital X-rays help track bone levels with less radiation than film. Evening appointments Monday through Thursday and hours on the first and third Saturday of each month make ongoing maintenance easier to keep.
Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums and the bone that supports your teeth. It starts as gingivitis and can progress to periodontitis if plaque and tartar are not removed.
Early gum inflammation often improves with a professional cleaning and better home care. More advanced gum disease can be managed with deep cleaning and regular maintenance visits.
The area is numbed with local anesthesia, so you may feel pressure but should not feel sharp pain. Some tenderness for a few days afterward is common.
Your dentist sets a schedule based on how your gums respond to treatment. Many patients with a history of gum disease come in more often than a routine checkup schedule.
Osseous surgery reshapes the bone around teeth to reduce deep gum pockets that are hard to keep clean. Your dentist may recommend it when deep cleaning alone is not enough.
A gum graft covers tooth roots that have been exposed by receding gums. It can help protect the root surface and may reduce sensitivity.
