At Uptown Family Dental, we prioritize your oral health and offer comprehensive periodontal care to prevent and treat gum disease. Periodontal disease, a serious gum infection, can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Our experienced dentists in Portland, OR utilize advanced techniques to address your specific needs and restore your oral health.
Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy
- Arestin: A prescription antibiotic gel applied below the gum line to target bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. This advanced treatment helps to eliminate harmful bacteria and create a healthier environment for gum tissue regeneration
Surgical Periodontal Therapy
- Gingivectomy: A surgical procedure to remove excess gum tissue, improving access for cleaning and reducing pocket depth. This can help to reduce inflammation and prevent further bone loss.
- Chemotherapeutic Rinses: Special antimicrobial rinses are used to help kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. These rinses can be an effective adjunct to other periodontal treatments.
- PerioProtect: A customized tray system designed to deliver antimicrobial agents directly to the affected areas below the gum line. This targeted approach helps to reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and promote healing.
- Laser Therapy: A minimally invasive technique that uses laser energy to kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. Laser therapy can be used to treat periodontal pockets and stimulate tissue regeneration.
