If you’re searching for “gum disease treatment near me,” you may be wondering how serious your symptoms are or whether you need a specialist. That depends on how far the condition has progressed. If you’ve noticed bleeding when brushing, bad breath, or gum sensitivity, you may be dealing with gingivitis—the earliest and most common stage of gum disease. The good news: gingivitis is reversible with early care.
For many people, a visit to the dentist, combined with brushing, flossing, and a soft-bristled toothbrush, can stop gingivitis. If symptoms persist, or you’ve already been diagnosed with periodontitis, that’s when you’ll come see us. Conveniently located in downtown Cranford, Dr. Kang and the Sway team can help.
Gingivitis affects the surface of the gums and is driven by plaque and inflammation. Periodontitis goes deeper. It’s an infection that damages connective tissue and bone. As it progresses, gums pull away, teeth loosen, and eventually tooth loss can occur.
While gingivitis can often be managed by your dentist, periodontitis requires advanced treatment to stop infection, restore lost support, and prevent further damage.

Our approach is focused, regenerative, and minimally invasive. We use laser therapy to remove infection without cutting or suturing the gums, then apply biologics to support healing from the inside out. This offers excellent results with less trauma than traditional surgery.
Peri-implantitis is an infection around dental implants, similar to periodontitis. We treat it with the same techniques: laser sterilization, tissue regeneration, and Emdogain to stabilize bone. This allows Dr. Kang to save more implants than conventional flap surgery.
Instead of opening the gums with a scalpel, Dr. Kang uses the Fotona LightWalker® laser to access and clean infected pockets.
There are no cuts or stitches, and the procedure causes little trauma—meaning less swelling, minimal downtime, and smoother recovery. We use this method because research shows it is the least invasive and most effective option for advanced gum disease.
A cavity or fracture extends below the gumline, making it difficult to properly seal a crown.
There isn’t enough visible tooth structure to securely hold a crown in place.
Your teeth are too short to accommodate veneers, often due to excess gum coverage.
You need to ensure that crowns or veneers won’t impinge on the bone or gum attachment, or biologic width, which could lead to chronic inflammation and eventual restoration failure.
If you’re looking for gum disease treatment in Cranford or West Caldwell, NJ, here’s what sets Sway apart:
Fotona LightWalker® laser: Precisely removes diseased tissue and sterilizes bacteria without scalpels or sutures, while stimulating natural healing.
Emdogain®: A biologic gel applied after laser treatment to regenerate bone and connective tissue, stabilize teeth, and reverse some effects of periodontitis.
We know gum disease can feel overwhelming, but treatment doesn’t have to be. Our care is science-based, minimally invasive, and tailored to your needs. We explain each step so you’ll know what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what results to expect.
If you’ve been diagnosed with periodontitis or peri-implantitis, we’re here to help. Schedule a consultation to learn how we can stop infection, support healing, and protect your long-term oral health.
