Understand How Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy Works

We recommend non-surgical periodontal therapy based on the severity of your gum disease and your overall oral health. Before treatment begins, your periodontist performs a thorough exam. We create a treatment plan based on the extent of infection and the overall health of your gums and supporting bone. You can expect:

  • Comprehensive Periodontal Exam – We examine your gums, measure periodontal pocket depths, evaluate bone support, and identify signs of active disease.
  • Digital Diagnostics – Advanced imaging and diagnostic technology gives us a complete understanding of your periodontal health.
  • Removal of Bacteria and Buildup – Our treatment removes plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria from beneath the gumline.
  • Reduction of Inflammation – We’ll eliminate the source of infection to reduce swelling, bleeding, and gum irritation.
  • Periodontal Maintenance Care – Your periodontist monitors gum health during ongoing maintenance visits. This helps preserve results and reduce the risk of disease recurrence.

Your periodontist may recommend other treatments such as laser therapy, depending on the extent of your disease. We can also discuss recession solutions if your infection has led to gum loss. If you experience dental anxiety, you can receive sedation.
