Step One
Pocket Remeasurement
We measure the pockets around every tooth and compare them against your previous readings to track any change since your treatment was completed.
Let’s Keep Your Gum Health a Priority
Periodontal maintenance is a specialized therapy designed to protect your investment in gum health. If you have a history of, or are at high risk for, periodontal disease, your gums require expert care to stay healthy after treatment. Dr. Reshad, Dr. Setya, and Dr. Bergman at OC Perio and Implants Dental Group, along with our expert hygiene team, provide thorough, gentle maintenance that helps prevent disease recurrence.
What Is Periodontal Maintenance?
Regular cleanings focus on the visible surfaces of your teeth, but periodontal maintenance goes considerably deeper. Using advanced instruments and techniques, we carefully clean both above and below your gumline, paying special attention to the deeper pockets where harmful bacteria can hide. Think of it as a comprehensive health check for your gums, since we are not just cleaning but also monitoring and protecting your long-term oral health. If you have a history of periodontal disease, or you are at high risk for it, your gums require expert care to stay healthy after treatment.
Signs You Need Periodontal Maintenance
-
Disease History — You have a history of periodontal disease and completed treatment that now needs protecting properly for the long term ahead of you and for many years beyond.
-
High Risk — You are at high risk for gum disease because of genetics, smoking, or a medical condition that raises your susceptibility to periodontal problems over time.
-
Post-Treatment Care — Active periodontal treatment has finished, and your gums now require expert maintenance to stay healthy and stable across all of the years still ahead of you.
-
Deeper Pockets — Pockets remain that a routine cleaning appointment simply cannot reach or properly clean out, however thoroughly it is carried out by an ordinary hygienist.
Your Journey With Us
Our Step-by-Step Process
Here is what you can expect during a periodontal maintenance visit at OC Perio & Implants.
Schedule a Consultation Step Two
Full Depth
Advanced instruments clean both above and below the gumline rather than only the visible surfaces of your teeth where recurrence tends to begin again.
Step Three
Pocket Focus
Special attention goes to the deeper pockets where harmful bacteria hide and where recurrence tends to begin again long before you would notice anything.
Step Four
Tissue Monitoring
Your periodontist checks the tissue for any sign that the disease has begun returning since your last visit here or since your treatment finished.
Step Five
Interval Planning
We set the right interval for your next maintenance visit based on your own risk factors and current stability rather than a standard schedule.
The Benefits of Periodontal Maintenance
Protected Investment
Maintenance therapy protects the investment you have already made in restoring your gum health back to a stable state through the earlier course of periodontal treatment.
Deeper Cleaning
Advanced instruments clean both above and below the gumline, reaching the deeper pockets where bacteria tend to hide and would otherwise stay completely out of reach.
Early Detection
Regular monitoring catches any recurrence early, long before the disease has a chance to undo the treatment results that you worked so hard alongside us to achieve.
Comprehensive Check
This is a comprehensive health check for your gums rather than a routine cleaning of the visible tooth surfaces alone during any ordinary six-month hygiene appointment.
Overall Health
Support your body’s general health by keeping inflammation under control.
