Periodontal Services in North Charleston, SC

Gentle, effective gum disease treatment to preserve your smile and protect your oral health.

Healthy Gums Are the Foundation of a Healthy Smile

Periodontal disease is an advanced form of gum disease and is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. At Cross County Dentistry, we provide thorough and compassionate periodontal care in North Charleston, SC to help protect your gums, teeth, and overall health.

Whether you’re showing early signs of gum disease(gingivitis) or experiencing more advanced symptoms(periodontitis), our team is here to provide the expert care and support you need.

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Gum disease is caused by bacteria that accumulate around the teeth and gums. When left untreated, it can lead to periodontal disease which is characterized by:

Bleeding or swollen gums
Bone loss around the teeth
Bad breath
Tooth sensitivity
Loose teeth or tooth loss

The good news? With early detection and consistent care, gum disease is treatable and patients can maintain healthy gums and bone support throughout their lives.

Our Periodontal Services Include:

Comprehensive Gum Evaluations: We examine your gums and surrounding bone for signs of inflammation, infection, and bone loss.
Deep Cleanings (Scaling and Root Planing): This non-surgical treatment removes bacteria and plaque below the gumline.
Periodontal Maintenance Visits: Customized follow-up cleanings every 3–4 months to keep gum disease under control.
Home Care Guidance: Education on proper brushing, flossing, and other techniques to manage your gum health between visits.

Gum disease doesn’t just affect your mouth—it has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other health conditions. Our goal is to help you catch signs of periodontal disease early so you can avoid more invasive treatments later.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend this dental office enough. They are always professional, friendly, and make you feel comfortable. I am always well cared for during my visits. The hygienist, Sharma Marrs is the “best” in the world and that’s coming from someone who has travelled the world. The dentist, Dr. DuRant is knowledgeable and attentive, and Allie always makes you feel like your “family”.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Outstanding Dental Experience at Cross County Dental I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Dr. John Durant and his exceptional team at Cross County Dental. From the moment I walked through the door, I was treated with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. Dr. Durant is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but also takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident about your treatment. His calm demeanor and attention to detail immediately put me at ease. The entire staff—from the front desk to the hygienists and assistants—exemplify what it means to provide excellent patient care. They are friendly, efficient, and clearly work as a cohesive team. The office itself is clean, modern, and welcoming, which only adds to the positive experience. It’s rare to find a dental office where you truly feel like more than just another appointment on the calendar. Cross County Dental is that kind of place. I’m grateful to have found them and would recommend Dr. Durant and his team without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding dental care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently visited Dr. DuRant's dental office, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I called to schedule my appointment, the assistant over the phone was incredibly helpful and friendly. She answered all my questions and found a convenient time for my visit. When I arrived, the hygienist (Shawndra) greeted me warmly and made me feel comfortable throughout the cleaning. She was gentle, thorough, and explained what she was doing at each step, which helped ease my nerves. Dr. DuRant was exceptional. He took the time to listen to my concerns, provided clear explanations, and offered thoughtful recommendations for my dental care. His expertise and calm demeanor made me feel confident I was in good hands. Overall, the entire team was professional, kind, and efficient. I highly recommend this office for anyone seeking top-notch dental care!
