Healthy Smile Series ~ What excites us? Perioscope, the non-surgical solution.

We are dental nerds, we understand, but this is the stuff that excites us.....

BEFORE Perioscope treatment. 


If you look at this x-ray you can see a dark gray area in the center. This is an area missing bone. The measurement from the gum line to the top of the bone was 12 millimeters. Dental bone is the foundation for your teeth. If the bone is not healthy your tooth is going to be just held in place by gum tissue and eventually become loose.

AFTER Perioscope Treatment

This is the same area is less gray. This shows us there is more bone. The measurement from the gum line to the top of the bone is now 5 millimeters! This area is healing because it was treated with endoscopic debridement (deep cleaned with our perioscope, a NON-surgical procedure using a micro camera that lets us see below the gumline.) a prescription of antibiotic and direct placement of Arestin, a topical antibiotic paste that is placed in the gum pocket.

Do you suffer from bone loss, loose teeth, a troublesome area that catches food and becomes painful? Perioscope treatment may be right for you. Schedule your evaluation today with our dental team and learn what treatment may be right for you.
