Healing Gums with Precision
Periodontal therapy focuses on treating the gums and the structures supporting your teeth. This comprehensive approach addresses gum disease at various stages, from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. By targeting the root causes of gum issues, such as plaque and tartar buildup, periodontal therapy aims to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss, ensuring a stronger foundation for your smile. Our practice offers both non-surgical and surgical treatments, providing customized solutions based on your needs.
A Minimally Invasive Approach to Gum Health
For patients looking for a non-invasive way to manage gum disease, Perio Protect offers a convenient at-home solution. This FDA-cleared system uses custom-fitted trays that deliver medicated gel deep below the gumline, targeting bacteria that brushing and flossing can’t reach. By oxygenating the gum pockets, PerioProtect helps reduce infection, inflammation, and bleeding while promoting healthier gums.
Benefits of PerioProtect:
- Easy, at-home treatment that complements professional cleanings.
- Targets and eliminates harmful bacteria below the gumline.
- Reduces inflammation and bleeding for healthier gums.
- Helps prevent the progression of gum disease with consistent use.
Non-Surgical Laser Periodontal Therapy
For patients needing a more advanced, yet still non-invasive, treatment, laser periodontal therapy provides an effective way to treat gum disease without scalpels or sutures. This technique uses a precise dental laser to remove infected tissue, kill bacteria, and promote gum regeneration, reducing pocket depth and inflammation. The laser is gentle, allowing for a faster, more comfortable healing process compared to traditional surgery.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Laser Therapy:
Minimally invasive with little to no discomfort.
No need for sutures or cutting of the gums.
Targets and eliminates bacteria while preserving healthy tissue.
Faster recovery time compared to traditional gum surgery.
