Periodontist in Manor, TX — Expert Gum Disease Treatment
Bleeding gums, loose teeth, and bone loss don’t have to control your future. Dr. Sarath Srinivasan — a board-certified periodontist with over 20 years of experience — and the caring team at myDental Manor provide advanced gum disease treatment so you can keep your natural teeth and smile with confidence.
Gum Disease Is More Common Than You Think — and More Serious
Nearly half of adults over 30 have some form of gum disease, yet many don’t realize it until significant damage has already occurred. If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to talk to a periodontist.
Gum disease doesn’t just affect your mouth — research links it to heart disease, diabetes complications, and other systemic health issues. The good news? When caught and treated by a periodontist like Dr. Srinivasan, gum disease can be managed and even reversed.
What Is Periodontal Treatment?
Periodontics is the dental specialty focused on preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases of the gums and the bone that supports your teeth. A periodontist like Dr. Srinivasan completes three additional years of training beyond dental school, specializing in saving teeth that other dentists might recommend pulling.

Periodontal Treatments We Offer in Manor
Dr. Srinivasan tailors every treatment plan to your specific condition, from early-stage gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Here are the most common periodontal treatments available at our Manor office.
Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
The foundation of gum disease treatment. Using specialized instruments, Dr. Srinivasan removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gum line (scaling) and smooths the tooth root surfaces (planing) so gums can reattach. Usually completed in two visits with local anesthesia for your comfort.
Laser Periodontal Therapy
A minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. Laser energy precisely targets and removes diseased tissue and bacteria while leaving healthy tissue intact. Less bleeding, faster healing, and reduced discomfort compared to conventional surgery.
Gum Grafting
When gum recession exposes tooth roots, a gum graft restores the protective tissue. Dr. Srinivasan uses donor tissue or your own tissue to cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, prevent further recession, and improve the appearance of your smile.
Bone Grafting & Regeneration
Advanced periodontitis can destroy the bone supporting your teeth. Dr. Srinivasan uses bone grafting materials and regenerative membranes to rebuild lost bone structure, creating a foundation strong enough to save teeth that might otherwise need extraction.
Your Periodontal Treatment Journey at myDental Manor
We make gum disease treatment straightforward and comfortable. Here’s what to expect when you visit our Manor office.
Comprehensive Periodontal Evaluation
Dr. Srinivasan performs a thorough examination including periodontal probing to measure pocket depths around each tooth, digital X-rays, and a review of your medical history. You’ll understand exactly what’s happening with your gums and receive a clear treatment recommendation.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your evaluation, Dr. Srinivasan creates a customized plan addressing your specific condition — whether that’s deep cleaning, laser therapy, grafting, or a combination. We’ll walk through the costs, insurance coverage, and timeline before anything begins.
Active Treatment
Treatment is performed with local anesthesia and sedation options for your comfort. Deep cleanings are typically completed in two visits. Surgical procedures like gum grafting are performed in our Manor office with precise, minimally invasive techniques Dr. Srinivasan has refined over 20 years of practice.
Localized Antibiotic Therapy (Arestin)
For persistent infection, Dr. Srinivasan may place Arestin — a targeted antibiotic — directly into deep gum pockets after scaling and root planing. This fights bacteria right at the source for continued healing between visits.
Periodontal Maintenance
After active treatment, you’ll transition to a periodontal maintenance schedule — typically cleanings every 3–4 months instead of the standard 6. This ongoing care is essential to prevent recurrence and keep your gums healthy for life.
Why Treating Gum Disease Matters
Periodontal treatment does more than save your teeth — it protects your whole-body health. Here’s why Manor patients trust Dr. Srinivasan with their gum care.
Keep Your Natural Teeth
Periodontal treatment is designed to save teeth you might otherwise lose. Healthy gums mean your teeth stay firmly in place for years to come.
Protect Your Heart Health
Research shows gum disease bacteria enter the bloodstream and contribute to cardiovascular inflammation. Treating periodontal disease reduces this systemic risk.
Stop Bone Loss
Untreated gum disease destroys the jawbone that holds your teeth. Periodontal treatment halts this process and regenerative procedures can rebuild what’s been lost.
Fresher Breath
Chronic bad breath is one of the most common signs of gum disease. Removing the bacterial infection at its source eliminates the odor that brushing alone can’t fix.
Better Diabetes Management
Gum disease and diabetes have a two-way relationship. Controlling periodontal infection helps stabilize blood sugar levels, and vice versa.
Minimally Invasive Options
Modern periodontal care uses laser therapy and targeted antibiotics to treat infection with less discomfort and faster recovery than traditional gum surgery.

Your Periodontal Treatment Questions, Answered
Don’t see your question? Contact our Manor office — we’re happy to help.
Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease — your gums may be red, swollen, and bleed easily, but no bone loss has occurred yet. Gingivitis is fully reversible with professional cleaning and better home care. Periodontitis is the advanced stage where infection has spread below the gum line, destroying bone and connective tissue. Periodontitis requires treatment from a periodontist like Dr. Srinivasan to halt the damage and preserve your teeth.
Costs vary depending on the severity of your condition and the treatment needed. Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) typically ranges from $200–$300 per quadrant. More advanced treatments like gum grafting or laser therapy will vary based on your specific needs. At myDental Manor, we accept most PPO insurance plans, offer flexible financing with low monthly payments, and have the myDental Care Plan for uninsured patients. We always provide a clear cost breakdown before treatment begins.
Deep cleaning is performed with local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure. You may experience some tenderness and sensitivity for a few days afterward, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Dr. Srinivasan also offers sedation options including nitrous oxide and oral sedation for patients who are anxious about dental procedures.
Gingivitis (early gum disease) can be completely reversed with professional treatment and improved oral hygiene. Advanced periodontitis cannot be “cured” in the traditional sense, but it can be effectively managed and controlled. With proper treatment from Dr. Srinivasan and a consistent periodontal maintenance schedule, you can stop the disease from progressing and keep your natural teeth for life.
Laser periodontal therapy uses focused light energy to remove diseased gum tissue and kill bacteria in periodontal pockets without cutting or sutures. Benefits include less bleeding, reduced swelling, faster recovery, and less post-procedure discomfort compared to traditional gum surgery. Dr. Srinivasan evaluates each patient to determine if laser therapy is the right approach for their specific condition.
After active periodontal treatment, most patients transition to a maintenance schedule of every 3–4 months, rather than the standard 6-month cleanings. These more frequent visits allow Dr. Srinivasan and our hygiene team to monitor pocket depths, remove bacteria before they cause new damage, and keep your gum disease under control long-term. Many dental insurance plans cover periodontal maintenance visits.
