Targeting Chronic Infection, Halting Bone Loss, and Saving Natural Teeth
Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic bacterial infection affecting the gums and alveolar bone supporting your teeth. It begins as gingivitis (red, swollen, bleeding gums) and, if untreated, advances to periodontitis—where bacterial toxins destroy bone, forming deep infected pockets and leading to tooth loss.
Emerging medical research confirms a direct biological link between periodontal disease and systemic health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, uncontrolled diabetes, and Alzheimer's. Managing oral infection is critical for your entire body.
At Main Line Dental Arts, our board-certified periodontists utilize advanced non-surgical scaling and root planing, minimally invasive laser therapies, Perio Protect® prescription trays, and regenerative microsurgeries to restore gum health comfortably and permanently.
You may benefit from this treatment if you experience any of the following:
We measure pocket depths around all 32 teeth using a periodontal probe and examine bone heights with low-dose digital radiographs to classify the exact stage and grade of disease.
Under profound local anesthesia, ultrasonic instruments break up calcified calculus deposits deep beneath the gumline, smoothing rough root surfaces so gums can reattach.
Therapeutic antimicrobial irrigation and localized medicaments flush out deep infected pockets, neutralizing bacteria and promoting rapid gum reattachment with zero cutting.
We re-measure pocket depths to confirm healing and establish a personalized 3-month periodontal maintenance recall plan to keep infection permanently in remission.
Prevents tooth mobility, loosening, and the need for future extractions.
Eliminates chronic volatile sulfur-producing bacterial colonies responsible for halitosis.
Decreases inflammatory burden throughout your bloodstream, benefiting cardiovascular and diabetic control.
Modern ultrasonic and therapeutic tray protocols mean treatment is gentle, fast, and virtually pain-free.
Practical instructions to ensure an anxiety-free visit and smooth, rapid healing.
What to expect from your initial specialist consultation through complete recovery.
Comprehensive 6-point periodontal charting per tooth to assess pocket depths and bone loss stages.
Deep ultrasonic debridement, scaling, root planing, and therapeutic antimicrobial decontamination.
Follow-up check 4 to 6 weeks later to measure pocket depth reduction and gum reattachment.
Personalized 3-month periodontal maintenance cleanings to keep infection in permanent remission.
Periodontists undergo 3 additional years of accredited university surgical residency beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on jawbone biology, tissue regeneration, and micro-precision implant placement. We partner closely with your family dentist to deliver lasting clinical excellence.
Our board-certified periodontists, Dr. Borguet, Dr. Hodgson, and Dr. Susanin, are here to help restore your oral health with compassionate, personalized care.
