Periodontal Treatment
Restoring the Health of Your Mouth
why choose GEDC
for Periodontal Treatment ServicesPeriodontics is a highly specialized area of dentistry that treats the area “around” a tooth, including the gums, bone, and supporting ligaments. While modern dentistry has given us healthier, brighter, straighter smiles, more than half of American adults still suffer from gum disease. A healthy-looking smile is often mistakenly equated with good overall oral health, but this is not always the case.
Regular visits with your doctor are the best way of ensuring that your mouth is truly healthy, with access anytime, anywhere to all the periodontal services you need under the same network for easier care. Our dentists are leaders in the field of gum disease treatment — catching it sooner and treating it before it worsens — and utilize modern technology, techniques, and educate you through continuing education to make your visits comfortable. We offer affordable treatment plans — such as cash pay, insurance, financing, and CareCredit — to help you live a healthy lifestyle, and Be Your Own Kind of Great.

- A consultation is provided, and X-rays are done, if needed
- Treatment and the post-operative recovery process are discussed; this includes diet limitations and possible bruising

financing options
Whether your dental care is for your family, a new smile for your next interview, braces for your future, or dentures to eat your favorite food, financing your dental care at Great Expressions Dental Centers is as easy as smiling.
CALCULATE YOUR PAYMENT

During your initial consultation, your orthodontists will be able to determine your cost of treatment based on your specific needs. There are many factors that affect your cost of treatment, including the complexity and severity of your problem and the required length of treatment. The average cost of braces ranges from $3,500 to $8,000, with the national average at about $5,000.

There are many different agreements between insurance carriers and their subscribers; each contract provides a different benefit. Orthodontic insurance usually has a lifetime maximum for orthodontic services. This benefit is paid as a percentage of the orthodontic fee (diagnostic records, initial fee, monthly payments, etc.) until the benefit maximum has been reached. Contact your insurance company directly to find out more information regarding your orthodontic benefits.

A FSA allows you to set aside a portion of your paycheck to pay for eligible medical expenses. This is deducted from your paycheck, not subjected to payroll taxes, and transferred directly into your FSA.
Health Spending Amount
A HSA is a pre-tax benefit account used to pay for eligible medical, dental, and vision care expenses that aren't covered by your insurance plan.
YOUR ESTIMATED MONTHLY PAYMENT
This payment tool is provided to create an estimate of your monthly cost of orthodontic treatment and is provided to you "as-is." Payments cannot exceed estimated treatment months. For actual treatment costs, please schedule a consultation with one of our board certified orthodontists.
