Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. At Hamilton Family Dentistry, we’re proud to offer comprehensive periodontal care in Hamilton Parkville. Led by Dr. Wolfson, our compassionate dental team has supported Baltimore families for over 70 years with personalized, judgment-free care.
Whether you’re noticing early signs of gum disease like tenderness or bleeding, or you’ve been managing periodontal issues for a while, we’ll create a treatment plan that meets your specific needs and comfort level. Utilizing advanced technology, such as Overjet AI for precise diagnostics and CBCT imaging for detailed mapping, our periodontal services are not just effective, but transparent and informative, too.

Why Should I Get Periodontal Care?
Gum health affects more than just your mouth. Untreated periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss, jawbone deterioration, and has even been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions. That’s why timely periodontal care is so important. It protects not only your smile, but your overall wellness.
At Hamilton Family Dentistry, we help patients in Hamilton Parkville and surrounding communities catch and treat gum disease in its earliest stages, often reversing damage before it becomes irreversible. Whether you need a simple gingivitis cleaning or advanced scaling and root planing, Dr. Wolfson and our dedicated team take the time to explain every aspect of your treatment.\
Our goal is to build trust and ensure that each patient, no matter their history, feels safe, supported, and cared for. Plus, if you're uninsured, our in-house membership plan makes ongoing periodontal maintenance completely accessible.
The Benefits of Periodontal Care
Prevents Tooth Loss
Periodontal care helps stabilize your gums and bone, preventing teeth from becoming loose or falling out due to untreated gum infection.
Improves Overall Health
Treating gum disease reduces inflammation and may lower risks linked to heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
Fresher Breath and Cleaner Smile
Healthy gums reduce harmful bacteria buildup, eliminating bad breath and creating a fresher, more confident smile.
Your Dream Smile is Our Priority
From single implants to full arch replacements and everything in between.
Single & Multi-Tooth Implants
Dental implants offer the most dependable, long-lasting way to restore missing teeth. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several in a row, options like single implants or implant-supported bridges can help you reclaim your smile with strength and stability.
Snap-In Implant Dentures
Snap-in dentures, also known as overdentures, are anchored by 4 to 6 implants per arch, creating a secure foundation for your new smile. These implant-retained dentures offer a major upgrade from traditional options, eliminating messy adhesives and improving day-to-day comfort.

All-On-4® Full Arch Implants
All-on-4 (often called “Teeth in a Day”) is a full-arch restoration that removes any remaining teeth, places implants, and secures a natural-looking, fixed smile, all in one appointment. It’s the most realistic, efficient way to replace a full set of failing or missing teeth.
Our Difference
The Periodontal Care Treatment Process
Comprehensive Gum Evaluation
Your personalized care begins with a thorough periodontal assessment using intraoral cameras and digital imaging tools to examine your gum health in detail. We'll measure pocket depths, assess any bone loss, and use Overjet AI to clearly visualize your condition. Dr. Wolfson will explain what’s happening below the surface and map out which areas need focused treatment.
Professional Scaling and Root Planing
If gum disease is diagnosed, we’ll often recommend deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing. This involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gum line, then smoothing out root surfaces to help gums reattach and heal. This non-surgical treatment is performed with utmost comfort in mind. Sedation is available for those who need additional peace of mind.
Maintenance and Ongoing Care
Gum health needs consistent monitoring, especially after successful treatment. We’ll schedule regular periodontal maintenance visits tailored to your case. These visits allow us to keep your gums disease-free and catch any signs of recurring issues early. For added convenience, uninsured patients can take advantage of our affordable membership program to continue their care without financial barriers.
