Scaling and root planing (a.k.a deep cleaning) is the most common nonsurgical treatment for gum disease, and it's often all that's needed to stop the progression and get your gum health back on track.

🦠 Scaling removes the bacteria, plaque, and tartar that have built up below the gumline, areas that a regular cleaning can't reach.

🦷 Root planing smooths the root surfaces of the teeth, making it harder for bacteria to reattach and giving the gums a clean surface to heal against.

It's done with local anesthesia for your comfort, and most patients are surprised by how manageable the experience is.

If you've been told you have gum disease, or if it's been a while since a thorough periodontal evaluation, this is a good place to start. Call us today

Has dental anxiety been keeping you from getting the care you need?

You're not alone. Dental fear is one of the most common reasons people delay or avoid treatment entirely.

Sedation dentistry is designed to make your experience genuinely comfortable, from start to finish. We have options that allow you to receive the care you need without the stress:

😌 Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): gentle, fast-acting, and wears off quickly, so you can drive yourself home

💊 Oral sedation: a prescribed medication taken before the appointment that leaves you deeply relaxed and often with little to no memory of the procedure

💉 IV sedation: administered intravenously for deeper relaxation, ideal for more complex procedures or severe anxiety

Avoiding dental care because of fear often leads to bigger problems down the road. That doesn't have to be your story.

Most people assume tooth loss results from cavities or accidents, but the reality is different.

Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Here's why it's so commonly overlooked:

😶 It's usually painless in the early stages. Gum disease rarely announces itself with sharp discomfort.

🩸 Bleeding gums get normalized. Many people notice their gums bleed when they brush and assume it's normal.

📉 Bone loss happens gradually. As gum disease advances, it destroys the bone and tissue holding teeth in place.

🔄 It's chronic. Gum disease doesn't resolve on its own, and the longer it goes untreated, the more complex and costly the treatment becomes.
The encouraging part: gum disease is very treatable, especially when caught early.

And modern minimally invasive techniques make treatment far more comfortable than it used to be.

June is National Oral Health Month. And this one is worth pausing on. 💙

Oral health is one of the most overlooked aspects of overall health, even though the connection between the two is well established.

Gum disease has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, respiratory conditions, and complications during pregnancy.

And yet, nearly half of American adults have some form of periodontal disease.

National Oral Health Month is really about not just reminding you to brush and floss, but also encouraging everyone to take their oral health as seriously as any other part of their well-being.

At Tredi Dental, we're here for all of it: the routine and the complex, the anxious patient and the one who just needs a good deep clean.

If you've been told you need gum surgery and the idea has been sitting in the back of your mind ever since, we want you to know there's another option. 💙

LANAP® laser therapy is a clinically proven, FDA-cleared alternative to traditional gum surgery. For many patients, it completely changes the conversation. Here's why:

🦷 A precise laser targets and removes only the diseased tissue
🦷 The laser stimulates bone regeneration around affected teeth, something traditional surgery cannot do
🦷 Most patients manage recovery with over-the-counter pain relief
🦷 Treatment is completed in two sessions of about two hours each
🦷 Many patients return to work the very next day

Dr. Tredinick is trained in the latest LANAP® protocols and will help you determine whether it's the right fit for your situation.

A periodontist is a dentist who has completed three years of specialized training beyond dental school, specifically focused on the gums, the bone supporting the teeth, and dental implants.

Think of it this way: your general dentist is your primary care provider for your mouth. A periodontist is the specialist they refer you to when the situation is more complex.

💙 At Tredi Dental, Dr. Tredinick brings specialized periodontal expertise and advanced training to every patient she sees, whether you've been referred by your general dentist or you've come in on your own.

You don't have to wait for a referral to see a specialist. If something feels off, you're always welcome to reach out directly.

What if you could replace an entire arch of teeth in a single procedure, and walk out with a fixed, permanent smile? 😁

Using just four strategically placed implants, All-on-4 supports a full set of replacement teeth that are permanently fixed in place.

It's designed for patients who are missing all or most of their teeth, and it's built around smarter use of available bone, meaning many patients who have already experienced some bone loss are still candidates without needing additional grafting.

For patients who have spent years navigating the challenges of full dentures, All-on-4 is often genuinely life-changing.

Wondering if you're a candidate? Let's find out together.

Most people focus on the gap in their smile after losing a tooth. But what's happening beneath the surface is just as important.

The jawbone underneath a lost tooth no longer receives the stimulation needed to maintain its density.

Without that stimulation, the body begins to reabsorb the bone, a process called resorption. Within the first year, up to 25% of bone width can be lost at the extraction site.

🦷 This affects your candidacy for dental implants and can cause neighboring teeth to drift into the gap, affecting your bite and increasing the risk of decay

The earlier a missing tooth is addressed, the more options you have, and the simpler the path forward tends to be.

If you've been putting off replacing a missing tooth, this is a good time to have the conversation. 📞 713.977.7854

If needles and stitches have been keeping you from treating your gum recession, listen up.

The Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum grafting with a significant difference.

Instead of removing tissue from the roof of your mouth and suturing it onto the receding area, this technique requires only a tiny pinhole-sized entry point.

Through that opening, Dr. Tredinick gently repositions your existing gum tissue back to where it belongs, covering exposed roots and restoring a natural gumline.

Here's what this means to you:
✅No scalpels, sutures, or tissue harvesting
✅Minimal discomfort during and after the procedure
✅Visible results almost immediately
✅Most patients return to normal activities the next day
✅Multiple teeth can be treated in a single visit

If you've noticed your teeth looking longer, sensitivity near the gumline, or have been told you have recession, this may be the solution you've been waiting for.
