What our patients say

I had all 4 wisdom teeth and 4 other teeth removed so I could get braces. Dr. Smith did all of my extractions. I didn’t have a single problem with them or the healing. He does all he can to make you feel comfortable!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does gum bleeding happen?

This oral issue may be caused by plaque buildup, early gum disease (known as gingivitis), aggressive brushing or flossing, or even sensitivity. It’s often a sign that your gums are inflamed or irritated.

What will happen during my first visit?

We will perform a thorough examination, including a visual inspection of your gums and digital x-rays if needed. Then we’ll discuss with you what we find and recommend a personalized treatment plan.

Does Smith Dental accept insurance or offer payment options?

Yes. Smith Dental accepts most PPO insurance plans. If you don’t have insurance, we offer a savings program and flexible financing options to help make dental care affordable.

Do I need an exam if my gums bleed occasionally?

Yes. Even occasional bleeding can mean early gum issues. A professional exam can catch problems before they worsen, and help you preserve gum and tooth health.

Can bleeding gums be reversed?

Absolutely! With regular cleanings, good oral hygiene, and any needed professional treatment, gum inflammation and bleeding often improve significantly over time.
