Gum disease affects a significant number of adults, yet many do not realize they have it until the condition has already begun to damage the bone and tissue supporting their teeth. Symptoms such as bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and gum recession are common warning signs, but because pain is often absent in the early stages, the disease can go undetected for some time. Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss, jawbone deterioration, and health complications that extend beyond the mouth. Residents of Old Bridge, NJ have access to comprehensive, board-certified periodontal care at a practice serving the greater Middlesex County area.
At Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, PC, our practice is led by Dr. Daniel Reich, a board-certified periodontist with over 25 years of experience. Dr. Reich holds a D.M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and completed his Specialty Certificate in Periodontics at SUNY Stony Brook. He currently serves as Director and Associate Professor of Periodontics at Touro College of Dental Medicine at New York Medical College. Our team provides a full range of periodontal procedures for patients from Old Bridge and the surrounding communities throughout Middlesex County.
Periodontal disease begins as gingivitis, a mild inflammation of the gums caused by bacterial plaque along the gumline. When left unaddressed, it can progress to periodontitis, a more advanced infection that attacks the bone and connective tissue supporting the teeth. At that stage, the condition cannot be reversed, only managed, which is why early evaluation matters. According to the CDC, nearly 42% of adults aged 30 and older have some form of periodontitis, and severe cases affect approximately 8% of the adult population.
A thorough periodontal evaluation, including a review of pocket depths, X-rays, and overall oral health, provides the clearest picture of what is happening beneath the gumline. Our conservative treatment philosophy means we always begin with the least invasive approaches appropriate for each patient’s situation before recommending more advanced care. Patients who come in early, before significant bone loss has occurred, typically have the broadest range of options available to them.
Our practice offers treatment options designed to address gum disease at every stage of progression. For patients in the earlier stages, scaling and root planing is a non-surgical deep-cleaning procedure that removes bacterial deposits from root surfaces and supports gum reattachment. For patients whose condition has advanced beyond what non-surgical methods can address, we offer LANAP® laser gum surgery, osseous surgery, and other regenerative procedures.
LANAP® is a minimally invasive laser-based treatment that targets diseased tissue while preserving healthy gum and bone, making it an option for patients who want effective results with reduced recovery time. The following are among the core treatment services available:
Patients returning for regular periodontal maintenance benefit from a consistent care schedule that helps keep disease progression in check and preserve the results of prior treatment.
Periodontal disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss, and for patients who have already experienced it, dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking restoration option. Our practice provides single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, and full arch dental implants for patients who have lost multiple or all of their teeth. Dr. Reich’s clinical background in both periodontics and implantology means the health of the surrounding gum and bone is carefully evaluated before treatment begins.
For patients pursuing full arch restoration, Dr. Reich’s approach includes having patients return the day after surgery for temporary insertion, using high-quality temporaries designed for comfort during the healing period. This level of attentiveness to the post-surgical experience reflects how we approach every phase of treatment. We take the time to discuss dental implant options with each patient and set realistic expectations for every step of the process.
