Non-Surgical Gum Therapy: Advanced Periodontal Care Without Surgery

Reclaim Healthy Gums with Minimally Invasive Treatments

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, affects nearly half of adults over 30. Left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes. At [Your Practice Name], we offer cutting-edge, non-surgical periodontal therapies designed to halt disease progression and restore gum health—without the need for invasive surgery.

Our Comprehensive Non-Surgical Periodontal Approach

Our multi-faceted treatment protocol combines the latest technologies and methodologies to effectively combat periodontal disease:

  1. Ultrasonic Scaling and Root Planing (SRP)
    We begin with a thorough cleaning using ultrasonic instruments to remove plaque and tartar from beneath the gum line. This deep cleaning smooths root surfaces, making it harder for bacteria to reattach. SRP is the gold standard for non-surgical periodontal therapy.
  2. Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR)
    Utilizing FDA-cleared diode lasers, we target and eliminate bacteria within periodontal pockets. This laser therapy reduces inflammation, promotes healing, and minimizes the risk of bacteremia associated with traditional scaling. Studies have shown that LBR can enhance the outcomes of SRP by providing a bactericidal effect and supporting tissue healing.
  3. Perio Protect® Tray Delivery System
    For ongoing at-home care, we prescribe custom-fitted Perio Trays® that deliver a 1.7% hydrogen peroxide gel deep into periodontal pockets. This method reduces pathogenic bacteria and promotes a healthier oral environment. Patients have reported benefits like fresher breath and whiter teeth.
  4. Localized Antibiotic Therapy
    In cases where deeper pockets persist, we apply localized antibiotics, such as minocycline microspheres (Arestin®), directly into the affected areas. This targeted approach delivers medication precisely where it’s needed, enhancing the effectiveness of SRP and reducing pocket depths.

Benefits of Our Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatments

  • Minimally Invasive: Avoid the discomfort and recovery time associated with surgical procedures.
  • Effective: Combining these therapies has been shown to significantly reduce pocket depths and improve gum health.
  • Convenient: Perio Protect trays allow for easy at-home maintenance between office visits.
  • Safe: Laser therapy and localized antibiotics minimize systemic exposure and potential side effects.
