Transforming the way you look and feel has never been easier or more affordable than with Invisalign. Imagine having your best smile for as little as $175 a month! It’s time to give you the smile you’ve always dreamed about, the confidence you’ll gain is just an added bonus.
If you’ve been diagnosed with periodontal disease (aka. gum disease) Dr. Brianna Szymanski will create a personalized plan to treat and manage your symptoms. The longer you go without treatment, the greater the likelihood that your symptoms will diminish your smile. With gum disease treatment you can minimize existing and ongoing symptoms.
This bacterial infection is the leading cause of tooth loss and receding gumlines. In addition to preserving your smile, untreated plaque and tartar buildup release bacteria in your bloodstream. This increases your risk of potentially devastating whole-body health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.
The team at Craft Dentistry in Grand Rapids will create a plan to optimize your oral health and whole-body health!

With a personalized periodontal treatment plan, you drastically reduce tooth loss and the need for gum surgery!
Innovative advances in oral care drastically reduce the need for periodontal surgery! To treat and manage your symptoms, you’ll need to schedule an exam and teeth cleaning every 3 to 4 months. A meticulous deep clean keeps bacteria-causing plaque and tartar buildup to a minimum.
Dental health is whole-body health.
Craft Dentistry personalizes your gum disease treatment to your unique oral health needs. This often includes a non-surgical ultra-deep cleaning, referred to as scaling and root planing. Standard teeth cleaning removes visible plaque and tartar. Scaling and planing removes plaque and tartar below the gumline.
If we catch your symptoms early on, deep cleaning combined with elevated at-home oral hygiene may be enough to resolve your symptoms.
If your symptoms have progressed from gingivitis to periodontal disease, you’ll need to continue with deep cleaning every 3 to 4 months. Waiting 6 months between cleanings is often the difference between maintaining your progress and escalating symptoms that lead to tooth loss and receding gums.
Educating you on improved oral care is also part of your personalized treatment plan. Investing just a few minutes more per day in your oral hygiene can maintain your brilliant smile!
