Periodontal & Gum Care We Provide
Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal maintenance is a key part of long-term gum disease prevention. These visits include regular exams and professional cleanings designed to monitor gum health and remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone cannot fully eliminate.
Consistent maintenance helps reduce the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis, supporting healthier gums and overall oral stability. Early detection during these visits also allows us to address concerns before they progress into more serious conditions.
Arestin Treatment
Arestin treatment is a non-surgical therapy used to help manage periodontal infection. This localized antibiotic is placed directly into infected gum pockets, where it continues to release medication over time to target harmful bacteria.
It is often used alongside scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to improve treatment outcomes. For patients dealing with persistent gum infection, Arestin can be an effective part of restoring gum health and preventing further tissue damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have periodontal maintenance?
Most patients benefit from periodontal maintenance every three to four months, depending on gum health and risk level.
What is gum disease, and how do I know if I have it?
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth, typically caused by plaque buildup. Early signs include swollen, bleeding gums, bad breath, and receding gums. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to visit us for a thorough examination.
What is the Arestin treatment, and is it effective?
Arestin is a targeted antibiotic treatment for gum disease that helps eliminate harmful bacteria. It is highly effective when used in combination with deep cleaning treatments, helping to manage infections and promote gum health.
Can gum disease be reversed?
In its early stages, gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed with professional cleaning and proper oral hygiene. However, in more advanced stages (periodontitis), treatment can help manage the disease and prevent further damage, but it may not be fully reversible.
Do you offer any solutions for gum recession?
Yes, we offer treatments to address gum recession, including soft tissue grafts to restore the gumline and prevent further recession. We also provide guidance on how to manage gum health to prevent further issues.
