Your dentist and hygienist will performs a detailed exam of your gum and bone health during your first visit or your routine check up. We’ll walk you through your diagnosis and answer every question in plain, honest language. If early signs of gum disease are present, we may recommend non-invasive approach such with cleanings and more detailed home care instructions and use of additional tools such as interproximal brushes, Waterpik, and a referral for a physical as part of your preventive strategy.

Depending on your condition, this may include non-surgical deep cleanings, periodontal surgery, grafting, or implant planning. Arestin, a locally administered antibiotic, may be used during scaling and root planing to fight infection at the source. If we determine that further treatment beyond deep cleanings and Arestin are needed, a referral will be made to our in-house Periodontist who will make his recommendations based on the history of all the baseline treatments, his clinical assessment, evaluation of 2D and 3D imaging as indicated.

All advanced surgical procedures are performed in our office by Dr. Cho using advanced techniques and anesthesia options. We use tools like Curodont to support enamel preservation and monitor healing to reduce the risk of further breakdown. We track your healing closely and adjust as needed.

Gum health is ongoing. Our hygiene and periodontal teams collaborate to provide periodontal cleanings, bruxism screenings, and home care guidance that help you stay healthy and prevent recurrence.
