Periodontal (gum) problems are very common in America. Nearly half of Americans age 30 years and older have some form of gum disease. Since gum infections can lead to or worsen other systemic health issues, we are proactive in our approach to prevention and treatment. When patients come in for a dental cleaning and exam, we:
If we discover you have periodontal disease, we’ll perform a quick A1C test. In as little as six minutes, you can learn your average blood glucose levels from the past three months. This is important because it can help assess your risk of diabetes. This disease increases your potential risk for gum disease issues and can escalate your risk of gum infections. If your A1C test results indicate that you may currently have or be at risk of diabetes, we’d be happy to introduce you to a holistic approach to controlling this condition. Dr. Porter works closely with several doctors in the area, so we can connect you to the best resource to get the help you need.
We understand how your overall health affects your oral health and vice versa, so we encourage you to complete this diabetes screening and this gum disease risk assessment.
After you have finished Synergy’s gum disease treatment, we can focus our attention on restoring your healthy smile. As part of our biologic dental care, we’ll use advanced techniques such as bacteria gum therapy, laser therapy, and PRF treatments to reverse gum recession and restore your gums to their natural pink and healthy state:

Since having my treatment (for migraines), I have not had to take any medication, go to the ER, visit doctors, spend endless money on useless treatment, or miss family events or my children’s lives.
I have fibromyalgia and have suffered with headaches for years. Your staff saw that I needed help and discussed TruDenta with me. I am halfway through and the difference it has already made is life changing!
I absolutely LOVE this office! Great doctors, great staff, and great facility. I could not have asked for more. Dr. Porter introduced me to a therapy that cured my migraines! It was amazing! I have not had a headache or migraine in over 9 months. The doctors are well trained in all areas of dentistry, and they offer a variety of services that no other dentist in the area offers. I would highly recommend this office to anyone in search of quality dentistry!
My first experience was super amazing and comfortable. First biologic, natural dental health exam. Was very pleased, felt so much better after! I am definitely sticking with Dr. Porter and his team! Totally recommend Synergy Dental
Dr. Porter and his team are amazing! Skilled and compassionate. As someone with a fear of dentistry, they turned what could have been a traumatic experience into a positive and comforting experience.
As always I was given the best care, always looking out for my best interest. As well as a follow up call the next day to make sure I was doing well and satisfied with my service.
Dr. Porter and his staff are very professional & friendly. I’m always hesitant to go to the dentist office but they make the experience very comfortable and reassuring. I have not yet met any staff that doesn’t make you feel like family. They are very helpful and informative about your health and options.
I’m super impressed with the first visit and focus they put on how teeth are connected to the entire body and how it impacts us. Thorough tests that help address root issues and great, friendly service. Great experience and I’d highly recommend!
They are absolutely amazing. Everyone there is very nice and you can tell they really care about you. They make sure that your satisfied and give great advice on your dental health. I’m came in needing my teeth cleaned but they went beyond looking out for my health. I did the bacteria treatments and I came out with the best dental health I have had in years.

Gum disease treatment is designed to rid your mouth of built-up tartar, plaque, and bacteria that can wreak havoc on your gums. Your hygienist or dentist will use a treatment plan that works best for your unique situation and preferences to carefully get your gums back into shape. Using a laser, Dr. Porter can remove damaged gum tissue and seal your gums back to help prevent further infection.
We aim to keep your gum disease treatment completely comfortable. We’ll gently numb your gums if needed, so you don’t feel discomfort during the treatment. In addition, if you’re nervous about your procedure, we offer three forms of sedation. Choose inhaled sedation using laughing gas, oral conscious sedation with a small pill, or IV sedation.
In its early stages, there are often no symptoms associated with gum disease. This is why it is called a silent killer. However, your gums may become red, puffy, and painful as it progresses. Your gums may also bleed when you brush or floss. In its advanced stages, gum disease can cause teeth to wiggle or fall out. Worse, it can also contribute to systemic health problems like diabetes.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
