An estimated 42% of Americans over 30 have some form of the disease, which may lead to tooth loss if left untreated. However, gum disease can be easily prevented with routine check-ups at the dentist. We aim to provide the best gum disease treatment in Weehawken, Hoboken, Bulls Ferry, Edgewater, and West New York to prevent gum disease and mitigate its symptoms as early as possible if they do develop this condition.
Gum disease, also called periodontitis, develops when bacteria build up along the gum line. Our patients often present with inflammation of the gums and loss of gum tissue around the teeth.
Gingivitis is an early stage of gum disease that, if left untreated, can progress to periodontal disease. Both gingivitis and periodontal disease are treatable in Weehawken, but as with most health issues, the earlier you seek treatment, the better the outcome.
We offer a warm, welcoming environment designed to ease the anxiety often associated with dental visits. Our compassionate team understands that many patients feel uneasy, often due to fears of the dentist or past bad dental experiences. We’re here to change that mindset with a soothing atmosphere and friendly approach.
We also focus on prevention: gum disease is entirely reversible when caught early. Through professional dental cleanings and personalized guidance on oral hygiene, we can address symptoms like swollen gums, bleeding, and bad breath, helping you maintain healthy gums and avoid invasive treatments down the road.
Treating advanced-stage gum disease in Weehawken involves deep cleaning procedures, such as scaling and root planing, to remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline. Surgical interventions may sometimes be necessary to address severe gum recession or damage.
Certain medications, like antimicrobial treatments, may also be recommended to help control infection and discomfort or to aid your gums in the healing process. Your prescription may be in the form of pills, a mouth rinse or medication placed directly into the periodontal pocket after your treatment.
Scaling and root planing are sometimes not enough to treat your gum disease alone. When pockets do not heal sufficiently after scaling and root planing, additional periodontal treatments or gum surgery can help. Surgery can remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas and help shrink pocket depth, and make it easier for you to keep your teeth clean.
We understand that the mouth is a gateway to overall health. It’s important to us that our patients understand the warning signs of gum disease, which can lead to more serious conditions if not properly treated. At our modern dental clinic in Weehawken, you’ll work with a dedicated staff of dental professionals who are ready to prevent and treat this largely avoidable disease.

Loved my experience here! The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the office is clean and beautiful. Dr. Kaplan was great - he was friendly, didn't rush anything, answered all of my questions, and did my teeth cleaning himself. Very happy to have Skyline Dental for my future dentist visits.
Thank you Dr Kaplan and the staff at Skyline Dental! I had a great experience during my check-up and cleaning. Dr. Kaplan made me feel comfortable and explained dental treatments thoroughly! Skyline Dental truly makes your dentist appointments smooth sailing, (painless too) looking forward to my next visit in six months.
Have had a great experience with Skyline Dental. Dr. Kaplan takes time to explain what’s going on and answer any questions while the reception crew is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Never have trouble getting through to them or receiving the information I need! Definitely recommend.
I’ve had a great experience working with Dr. Kaplan and his team. Everyone has been extremely professional and great during Covid. The work Dr. Kaplan does is excellent as well. I would definitely recommend working with the team at Skyline Dental Designs
Beautiful office, fantastic staff! Dr. Kaplan is very thoughtful and patient. Pays close attention and puts your best interests first. I never felt uncomfortable even though I had to fill so many cavities on my first appointment here. The BEST dentist!!
I’m fairly new to the area and was looking for a new dentist office. I'm so glad I chose to check out Skyline! The staff is very welcoming and kind. The dentist took his time to answer all of my questions and was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend checking them out if you’re looking!
I have been seeing Dr. Kaplan for a couple of months to correct some cavities and look into orthodontics options. I'm very pleased with this practice overall as well as with the doctor. The staff is kind and responsive, the doctor is very attentive and gives you time if you have questions. Very recommended!
Seamless process from start to finish. Dr. Kaplan is the most thorough dentist I've been to. He took the time to get to know me and my oral health/goals. Explained my options and treatment plan. His actual treatment (for fillings) was completely painless!
