Periodontal Treatment
Gum disease is a condition that affects millions of people—its symptoms usually go unnoticed until a visit to the dentist for an oral exam. Neglecting it will cause problems like loss of teeth, permanent bad breath, and deterioration of the bone that supports the teeth. Gum disease can sometimes even lead to more severe health conditions affecting the heart. If indicated, Dr. Mellert and his team use a series of specialized treatments designed to restore your smile, starting with advanced gum therapy and deep cleanings—giving your mouth a chance to become healthy again!

Dental Hygiene appointment today with Connie at Mellert DDS And Associates: My teeth feel perfect again; smooth and slick. Thanks, Connie! Ron Sorace2025-08-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a problem with my bite alignment, a remnant of error by a previous dentist over 20 years ago. Other dentists had attempted correction over the years. Recently I started seeing Dr. J. Mellert-Houck who was able to resolve this issue in one short visit. It was extraordinary and I was thoroughly impressed. Charge was minimal. She is an exceptional dentist. The practice uses state-of-art technology for imaging which allows them great insight and analysis before treatment. She is also an orthodontist, a service which I may find useful now that I know the quality of her work.
