Protect Your Smile With Periodontal Treatment
Periodontal treatment focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease to protect the foundation of your smile. When plaque and bacteria build up beneath the gumline, they can cause inflammation, bleeding, gum recession, and even bone loss if left untreated.
Treatment may include scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), localized antibiotic therapy, and ongoing periodontal maintenance to keep your gums healthy and stable. Early intervention is key to preventing more advanced issues and preserving your natural teeth.
At Just Smile Dentistry, we provide gentle, thorough periodontal care to help restore gum health and support long-term oral wellness.

Why Periodontal Treatment is Essential for Your Oral Health
Periodontal Treatment is vital for maintaining the health of your gums and preventing gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues. Gum disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis, is caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria along the gum line, which can lead to inflammation, infection, and even bone loss if left untreated. Early intervention and consistent care can help you avoid these issues and keep your smile healthy.
Treatments like Perio Maintenance Cleanings are designed to reduce gum inflammation, remove harmful bacteria, and help prevent further damage to your gums and teeth. Taking care of your gums now can prevent the need for more invasive treatments in the future.
Periodontal Treatment Services We Offer
At Just Smile Dentistry, we offer a comprehensive range of Periodontal Treatment services to address all stages of gum disease and ensure long-term gum health:
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing are deep-cleaning procedures that treat gum disease by removing plaque and tartar buildup from below the gum line. This procedure helps to smooth the roots of your teeth, reducing inflammation and encouraging the gums to reattach to the teeth.
Perio Maintenance Cleanings
Periodontal maintenance cleanings are specialized visits designed for patients who have been treated for gum disease. Unlike a routine cleaning, these appointments focus on removing bacteria and buildup both above and below the gumline to prevent reinfection and protect supporting bone.
Typically recommended every 3–4 months, periodontal maintenance helps keep inflammation under control, maintain healthy gum tissue, and preserve the long-term stability of your teeth.
Localized Antibiotic Therapy (Arestin®)
Localized antibiotic therapy, such as Arestin®, is a targeted treatment for gum disease that delivers antibiotics directly into periodontal pockets. This helps eliminate harmful bacteria that cause inflammation and infection, supporting the healing of your gums and preventing further bone loss.
Arestin® works alongside scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to enhance results, reduce pocket depth, and promote long-term gum health. At Just Smile Dentistry, we use this therapy to provide precise, effective care that protects your smile while minimizing discomfort.
