No. Your gums are treated here. Deluxe offers periodontal, endodontic, prosthodontic and oral surgery services under one roof: the hygiene team performs deep cleanings and maintenance, and Dr. Maxim Godko performs every gum surgery himself. There is no referral, no second consultation and no second set of x-rays.

Dr. Maxim Godko, an 8-Time Top Doctor and NYU College of Dentistry graduate with continuing education in hard and soft tissue manipulation and periodontal surgery. He performs every gum graft, crown lengthening and frenectomy himself, and the licensed hygienists on his team perform your deep cleanings and maintenance visits.

Your chart decides it, not a sales pitch. Your gum pockets are measured and the bone is checked on digital x-rays, and you see what the team sees: your chart, your x-rays and your diagnosis, with a written plan and its cost before you leave. A regular cleaning is for healthy gums or mild gingivitis; pockets deeper than 4 mm, bleeding, tartar below the gums and bone loss on x-rays call for scaling and root planing. Nothing starts until you agree.

The area is fully numbed with local anesthesia before any deep cleaning or gum surgery, so most patients feel only pressure. If you are nervous, nitrous oxide, oral sedation or IV sedation, in which you can still respond, is available, and Dr. Godko gives IV sedation himself. See sedation dentistry.

Bleeding gums are a sign to book an exam soon, online or at (609) 303-2005 or (609) 400-1393. Swelling, pain or a gum abscess is a dental emergency, and dental emergencies are seen the same day at both offices, including Saturdays at our Lawrenceville, NJ office.

A deep cleaning is typically done in two visits, fully numbed, and your pockets are measured again after healing. Your gums may feel tender for a few days, and most people go straight back to their normal routine. After gum surgery, you leave with aftercare instructions and a follow-up visit is scheduled, and you are typically back to normal activities within a few days. Then periodontal maintenance every three to four months keeps the disease under control.

Each treatment is priced at your personalized consultation, based on what your gums need, such as how many areas need a deep cleaning and whether gum surgery is involved. Your written plan shows the cost before treatment starts. We accept PPO plans and most carriers, including CIGNA, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Delta Dental and GEHA Connection Dental. No Medicaid, DMO or HMO plans accepted. We work with your insurance to ensure you receive the maximum benefit. Without insurance, the Adult Perio membership plan is built for gum care, and 0% financing through Cherry is available.

The Skillman, NJ office is open Monday to Thursday, 9 am to 6 pm, and Friday, 9 am to 5 pm. For evenings and weekends, our Lawrenceville, NJ office is open until 7 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays and on Saturdays from 9 am to 2 pm, with every periodontal service.

Without traffic, the Skillman, NJ office is about 18 minutes from Plainsboro, NJ by County Route 518, and about 21 minutes from Pennington, NJ by Cherry Valley Road and Route 206.
