If you’ve been diagnosed with periodontal disease (aka. gum disease) Dr. Robert Greenland will create a personalized plan to treat and manage your symptoms. The longer you go without treatment, the greater the likelihood that your symptoms will diminish your smile. With gum disease treatment you can minimize existing and ongoing symptoms.
This bacterial infection is the leading cause of tooth loss and receding gumlines. In addition to preserving your smile, untreated plaque and tartar buildup release bacteria in your bloodstream. This increases your risk of potentially devastating whole-body health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.
The team at Greenland Advanced Oral Care in Grand Rapids will create a plan to optimize your oral health and whole-body health!

PERIO PROTECT

MANAGEMENT PLAN
We’ll personalize your at-home oral hygiene to treat and manage your symptoms.
With a personalized periodontal treatment plan, you drastically reduce tooth loss and the need for gum surgery!
Non-Surgical Gum Disease Treatment in Grand Rapids
Innovative advances in oral care drastically reduce the need for periodontal surgery! To treat and manage your symptoms, you’ll need to schedule an exam and teeth cleaning every 3 to 4 months. A meticulous deep clean keeps bacteria-causing plaque and tartar buildup to a minimum.
Greenland Advanced Oral Care personalizes your gum disease treatment to your unique oral health needs. This often includes a non-surgical ultra-deep cleaning, referred to as scaling and root planing. Standard teeth cleaning removes visible plaque and tartar. Scaling and planing removes plaque and tartar below the gumline.
If we catch your symptoms early on, deep cleaning combined with elevated at-home oral hygiene may be enough to resolve your symptoms.
If your symptoms have progressed from gingivitis to periodontal disease, you’ll need to continue with deep cleaning every 3 to 4 months. Waiting 6 months between cleanings is often the difference between maintaining your progress and escalating symptoms that lead to tooth loss and receding gums.
Educating you on improved oral care is also part of your personalized treatment plan. Investing just a few minutes more per day in your oral hygiene can maintain your brilliant smile!
Common Signs of Periodontal Disease
Don’t delay in scheduling your appointment if you are experiencing any of the symptoms below:
Chronic bad breath
Bleeding gums
Red or purple gums
Swollen or tender gums
Shiny gums
Mouth sores
Loose teeth
Tooth loss
Receding gum line
Bad taste in the mouth
Pain when brushing teeth
Pain when eating
Gum disease is a preventable disease! If you aren’t experiencing the symptoms, keep it that way with a dental checkup every 6 months!
Gum Disease Maintenance in Grand Rapids
Once we get your symptoms under control, we’ll personalize your gum disease treatment plan. Your treatment plan will be unique to you but will include thorough dental cleanings, gum health evaluations, and measuring the depth of your gum pockets.
You may be tempted to skip your quarterly appointment if your symptoms haven’t returned but seeing you every 3 to 4 months is what keeps your symptoms at bay. We’ll work together to prevent further damage to your teeth and gums.
We want to see you keep your natural teeth and vibrant smile!
If we catch gingivitis early enough, we may be able to permanently reverse your symptoms.
Either way, we’ll need to educate you on how to improve and revise your oral hygiene. This is essential for ensuring gingivitis doesn’t return and that it doesn’t progress into periodontal disease.
Yes, it is! Poor oral hygiene is the top cause of periodontal disease. In turn, a top cause of tooth loss. So, don’t skip your bi-annual teeth cleaning and exam.
Other factors that increase your risk of developing this disease include:
I have been treated with nothing but compassion with all the issues I have had, they are redoing implants both upper and lower that someone else did that have been giving me problems for five years. I am more than halfway through the process and can really feel the improvements, I am very grateful that I was referred to Greenland Advanced Oral Care. Everyone is just amazing they really care about you, I would highly recommend them.
I can not Thank Greenland Advance Oral Care enough. For their professionalism, knowledge, kindness and guidance through my extensive dental procedures. It took around 6 months to complete. But I could not be happier with the end results. I would highly recommend their services and would not hesitate to call them again if needed.
Im in the process of whole mouth restoration. I have had my share of not great dental experiences. I could not be more pleased with this process. I am very hopeful for the final result. I will write more after that is done , but at thos point Dr. Greenland, his assistant Stacey have been wonderful to work with. He has an in-house lab where the crowns/teeth are made. I've never been in an office where I met the lab specialist who is actually creating my teeth who visits me in the room to see how they will fit, etc. This office and experience is VERY impressive and personable.
This has been a journey. Dr Greenland and office staff have been there every step. I would highly recommend this group of caring and professional group of individuals.
Cramming 4 appointments into 1 day. And, once again, thank you Stacy.<br>Thanks to a very intelligent, kind, and gentle man, The G Doc. Nice job Doctor Graham Greenland.once again,
Another amazing appointment at Dr. Greenland’s office. The entire staff is friendly and extremely helpful. From the friendly welcome the minute you walk in, to Dr Greenland taking all the time needed to answer your questions, and the technician’s positive demeanor make this office one of a kind!
GAOC took excellent care of me while back. I was able to get in the next day to have a repair made to avoid a potentially serious situation. It’s always a pleasant and positive experience when I receive dental care at GAOC.
GAOC is the perfect Dental Office for a beautiful smile and healthy oral care. A family centered and run practice takes care of all dental needs as well as a Speciality Clinic for more in depth care. I recommend making an appointment ASAP. 😎🦷🪥
He takes all the time you need, to make you comfortable, with your new dentures, so they fit perfectly. I am so thankful, to get my natural looking smile back.
The staff was so personable and knowledgeable. They thouroughly explained everything, listened and answered all questions. The visits were very relaxing. Looking forward to the next appointment as my care care continues to reach my goal. Thank you !!
Dr. Graham and staff make me feel so comfortable and they are all quite knowledgeable about their business. I appreciate you all so very much. Thank you for being so good at what you do.
As always Dr. Greenland and staff have done an amazing job with my complicated case. He has demonstrated willingness to share the knowledge, experience and time required not only to manage the advanced nature of my case but also my overall medical history with significant cancer treatments and pain. I am very grateful for this level of expertise.
There aren’t enough STARS!! This facility is “One stop shopping 🙂 They are equipped for every type of dental work or any procedure you should require. Provided with the absolute best customer service I have ever received anywhere. The attention to detail and smiles were with each staff member in every area I was tended to.<br>Never thought I would actually ENJOY a dental visit. If looking for a dental office, I encourage you to check out Greenland advanced oral care!<br><br>Met with the surgeon who will do the procedure. She was amazing with her step by step detailed explanation of what needed to be done, the next issue to be dealt with, how much time between every step, how they all worked together to assure a pain free bite, smile, normal chewing. She gave me a very positive feeling about the whole experience. Just one more star to add to the 5 I already have for this amazing dental office. I am blessed to be a patient here 😀<br><br>The surgeon made quick work of the extraction and reinforcing the jawline under the location for the new insert tooth. Never felt anything and actually had to ask, as best I could with gauze in my mouth, if she had actually removed the tooth? Amazing how quick and painless the removal and jaw line procedure was accomplished. I had no time for being anxious, it was over so fast. What a wonderful facility and staff.
I had my first appointment. I have cancer and going through chemo. They are knowledgeable and had answers to my questions. So thankful to have them as part of my team of Caregivers .
Eryn Huber is a 5-star dentist! We followed her to Greenland from another practice and were so happy to find her! Dr. Huber is professional, knowledgable, respectful and efficient! She listens carefully, seems to have a good “read” of her patients and is patient and reassuring during procedures. I trust her medical opinion and feel comfortable taking our toddler to her as well! My hygienist Brooke was amazing and the office staff were very friendly!
Dr. Greenland and his entire staff are all very friendly, informative and caring about your thoughts and concerns.<br><br>I would recommend Dr. Greenland to everyone.
Dental experiences are usually not something you brag about. Today my experience was exceptional in all aspects. I can start out by saying I was in an unusual situation due to having an implant to replace a tooth last summer. Well that crown decided that the screw holding it was no longer going to hold it and shattered overnight. Dr. Greenland removed unwanted particles and set me right up to have my crown replaced. He was friendly, informative and very professional. I felt valued and respected under his care. All who work in Dr. Greenland's office can be pride of the service you provide. I will refer Greenland Advanced Oral Care to anyone that have special circumstances with dentistry.
I cannot give enough praise for Dr. Greenland and staff.... I was in a rough place with previous dental work and Dr. Greenland explained it all to me, gave me options and the timelines for each. He is incredibly knowledgeable and personable and I now know my teeth are under the BEST care- and I have the most beautiful smile with my new crowns. I can't thank Greenland AOC enough. I was there very frequently the past year and always felt welcome by everyone. Cannot recommend this office more!
I do not think 5 stars are enough. I didn’t want to be at a prothodonist, but due to my bad experiences with dentists and bad genetics, I found myself in Dr. Kane’s chair. She has made this process so smooth, because she is kind, and caring, and listens. But more than that she is funny, normal, down to earth and knows her stuff! She is like a tooth artist. And the office staff, is beyond amazing too. I don’t feel anxious, I don’t dread going, and they are helpful and caring. So if you find yourself needing this level of care, do not think twice, and make an appointment!<br><br>Ally
Dr. Greenland is phenomenal! I felt listened to and he really took the time to explain the options for my upcoming treatment. He was knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions. Each staff member I encountered was kind and helpful. I will continue my dental needs with GAOC. Absolutely the best dental professional I’ve worked with in a long time.
My experience at Greenland Advanced Oral Care was amazing. Their offices make you feel like you are in a beautiful home and the staff is so friendly and helpful. There is a no judgement atmosphere and my treatment with Dr Greenland was pain free and he worked fast. The results were beautiful and I am so pleased. We discussed a plan to correct my issues and I’m planning on moving forward.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Kane and Greenland Advanced Oral Care. If you’ve ever had a dental experience that left you feeling like just another name on a clipboard, then let me tell you—this is the place that will restore your faith in dentistry.<br><br>From the moment I walked in, I knew this wasn’t just another assembly-line dental office. Dr. Kane took the time to actually listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and—most importantly—absolutely NAIL my denture work. I had previously worked with Aspen Dental, and let’s just say... their work left a LOT to be desired. Dr. Kane outperformed them in every possible way, bringing a level of skill, precision, and care that Aspen could only dream of.<br><br>My dentures? Flawless. Comfortable. Look and feel amazing.<br>The experience? Actually enjoyable. (Yeah, I didn’t think that was possible at a dentist either.)<br>Dr. Kane? A total rockstar.<br><br>If you’re considering where to go for top-tier dental work, stop looking. Go to Greenland Advanced Oral Care. Ask for Dr. Kane. You'll thank me later.
I had a fabulous experience with Dr. Greenland and his staff. Dr. Greenland is amazing. He is so kind and informative on what needs to be done with each individual. He explains things extremely well and has an amazing personality. His work is impeccable. I feel so blessed to have him in my life for my needs with oral care. He goes above and beyond. Actually his entire office goes above and beyond. Great doctor, and great staff. I highly recommend Dr. Greenland for any oral care needs you may have. You won't regret it.
Dr Greenland was a blessing. As a patient who feared going to the dentist for extreme work he was so patient and won me over to have major work done which is overdue and much needed. We need more dentists with his patients to care for those who fear going to the dentist.
They were very nice and friendly! They cared about my fears and did everything to make me fill comfortable! They explained my options and everything thing to me!
The staff is friendly and welcoming. Dr Huber was kind and thorough. She went the extra mile in addressing my concerns and understanding my preferences. I’ll definitely be coming back
