Periodontal Maintenance

At PerioWorks, we’re dedicated to helping you maintain a lifetime of healthy smiles. If you’ve been diagnosed with periodontal disease, undergone restorative dental treatments, or have dental implants, periodontal maintenance is a crucial step toward lasting oral health. Led by Dr. Saqqal, an experienced and compassionate periodontal expert, our team is here to provide the ongoing care needed to keep your gums and teeth in optimal condition.

What is Periodontal Maintenance?

Periodontal maintenance is a specialized dental cleaning and care regimen designed to protect your gums and teeth after treatment for periodontal disease. Unlike a regular cleaning, this tailored approach focuses on preventing disease recurrence and addressing any problems before they grow more serious. It’s not just about maintaining a clean and fresh smile; it’s about securing your long-term oral health.

Why is Periodontal Maintenance Important?

For patients with a history of periodontal disease or those who have dental implants, periodontal maintenance is essential. Here’s why so many patients rely on this care to optimize their dental and overall well-being:

Keeps Symptoms Under Control: Helps manage inflammation, bleeding, and other signs of periodontal disease.
Prevents Complications: Reduces the risk of infections and implant-related issues.
Prolongs Dental Health: Supports the longevity of natural teeth, dental restorations, and implants.
Catches Issues Early: Ensures potential problems are detected and treated before they become severe.
Promotes Overall Health: A healthy mouth plays a key role in maintaining a healthy body.

Dr. Saqqal and the team at PerioWorks follow a proactive approach, recommending a maintenance schedule tailored to your specific needs. Typically, appointments every three to four months are encouraged to ensure long-term success.

What to Expect During Your Visit

When you visit PerioWorks for periodontal maintenance, your appointment will include a variety of steps to keep your oral health in check:

Thorough Cleaning: Removal of plaque, tartar, and bacteria above and below the gumline.
Gum Tissue Assessment: Monitoring the health of your gums for signs of inflammation or disease.
Pocket Depth Measurements: Ensuring that gum pockets are stable and not deepening.
Personalized Care Plan: Recommendations for at-home care and any needed refinements to your maintenance routine.

Dr. Saqqal combines cutting-edge technology with a personalized approach to deliver exceptional care. You’ll leave with not just a clean smile but also a tailored roadmap for protecting your oral health.

Risks of Skipping Periodontal Maintenance

Neglecting regular visits can lead to complications such as infections, inflammation, and worsening gum disease. Over time, untreated issues can result in tooth loss or compromised dental implants. Sadly, many of these problems only become evident once they’re severe, which is why ongoing visits to PerioWorks and Dr. Saqqal are so vital.

Your teeth and gums are worth every bit of care and attention. Timely maintenance can save you time, money, and discomfort in the long run.
