What is Periodontics?
Periodontics is the specialty of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing and treating gum disease and conditions affecting the soft tissues and bone that support your teeth. At Enhance Dentist in Santa Clarita, we’re committed to protecting the foundation of your smile so you can maintain strong, healthy gums for life.
Gum disease begins when plaque bacteria irritate the gums, leading to inflammation and infection. Without treatment, early-stage gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, causing gum recession, bone loss and eventually tooth loss. Our team provides gentle, effective care to halt the progression of gum disease, restore damaged tissues and support long-term oral health.
Led by Dr. David S. Kim, our periodontal care combines advanced techniques with a patient-first approach. No pressure, no judgment, just honest guidance and treatments designed to give you lasting results.
Benefits of Periodontal Treatment
Stop Gum Disease Before It Gets Worse
Early treatment prevents gingivitis from progressing to periodontitis, protecting you from gum recession, bone loss and tooth loss.
Protect the Health of Your Teeth and Jawbone
Healthy gums support strong teeth. Periodontal care maintains the bone and soft tissue structure needed to keep your smile stable for years.
Reduce Inflammation and Improve Comfort
Professional periodontal treatment helps eliminate tenderness, swelling and bleeding, bringing your gums back to a healthier, more comfortable state.

What Our Patients Say About Us
"Couldn’t recommend this place enough"
I’ve been coming here the past 6 years give or take and always have such a pleasant experience! It’s great to know that current practices and techniques are constantly being refined, instead of just adhering to the norm and being stuck in the past. They recently fit me for a night guard and used new technology to get a “mold” for me without having to physically put my teeth against a material. Smooth, seamless, and right out the door! Couldn’t recommend this place enough.
"The best dental experience I’ve had to date!"
The best dental experience I’ve had to date! Dr. Kim was fast, efficient, kind, and did excellent work. His dental hygienist had the most calming presence and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. After not being in a dental chair for years I was anxious going in, but my experience went so well, any fears I had completely disappeared. I’m so grateful to Dr. Kim and his amazing staff. I plan on staying with Enhance Dentist.
What is periodontal disease?
Periodontal disease, also called gum disease, is an infection of the gums caused by plaque bacteria. It starts as gingivitis and can progress to periodontitis, which leads to gum recession, bone loss and eventually tooth loss if untreated.
What are the signs of gum disease?
Common signs include bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, swollen or tender gums, loose teeth and sensitivity. Some patients have no pain, which is why routine exams are important.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Early-stage gingivitis can often be reversed with professional cleanings and improved home care. Advanced periodontitis cannot be reversed but can be managed and controlled with periodontal treatment.
Is periodontal treatment painful?
Most treatments are gentle and performed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Patients typically feel pressure but not pain. Mild soreness afterward is normal and temporary.
How often do I need periodontal maintenance?
Patients with periodontitis usually need maintenance cleanings every 3–4 months to keep the gums healthy and prevent infection from returning.
