Your Periodontal Maintenance Program (PMP)

Once health is stabilized, we create a personalized periodontal maintenance plan that may include:

• Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) cleanings every three months
• Continued PerioProtect® daily antimicrobial therapy
• Proclaim® professional-level home cleaning

This structured program helps maintain long-term gum stability while preventing future disease.
 

Periodontal disease affects up to 90% of adults and is the leading cause of tooth loss. It often progresses silently — without pain — until advanced damage has occurred. Research has shown strong links between periodontal disease and systemic conditions such as:

• Cardiovascular disease
• Diabetes
• Stroke risk
• Respiratory infections
• Pregnancy complications

Our goal is not only to stop the progression of gum disease but to support overall systemic health through early detection and comprehensive preventive care.
 

Non-Surgical LCPT with LiteTouch® Er: YAG Laser

We provide Laser-Assisted Comprehensive Periodontal Pocket Therapy (LCPT) using the revolutionary LiteTouch® Er:YAG laser — one of the most advanced forms of minimally invasive periodontal care available.

The LiteTouch® laser:

• Removes calculus and diseased tissue layer by layer
• Preserves healthy tissue while eliminating infection
• Disinfects periodontal pockets at the bacterial level
• Disrupts harmful biofilm
• Stimulates healing through biostimulation (without heat damage)
• Reduces the need for traditional surgery
• Provides virtually painless treatment with little to no downtime

This therapy has been clinically proven to reduce pocket depth and support bone regeneration, even in advanced cases once considered surgical.

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)

We use the EMS Dental GBT protocol, a breakthrough in preventive periodontal care that focuses on gentle, effective biofilm removal.

GBT allows for:

• Complete visualization and removal of harmful biofilm
• A comfortable, pain-free cleaning experience
• Superior prevention of future disease
• Better results than traditional polishing and scaling

GBT represents today’s gold standard in preventive periodontal therapy.

PerioProtect® — Minimally Invasive Home Care

• Takes approximately 15 minutes a day
• Reduces bacterial load between office visits
• Freshens breath
• Offers gentle whitening benefits
• Protects overall systemic health by reducing oral inflammation
• PerioProtect® transforms periodontal care from episodic treatment to daily protection.

Proclaim® Custom-Jet Oral Health System

Proclaim® is a customized home-care device using a mouthpiece with up to 60 precision jets capable of cleaning the areas brushing and flossing miss.
Proclaim®:

• Removes plaque and bacteria from every angle
• Cleans 360° around each tooth in just 7 seconds
