Treatment
Comprehensive Perio Program
A structured program for gum disease, with the measurements charted every visit so you can see whether it is holding.
Not a single procedure but a plan. Charting, saliva testing where useful, deep cleaning where needed, and maintenance visits at an interval set by your actual numbers.
Paula and Leah measure every tooth and record it, so change becomes visible rather than a matter of impression. Treatment is staged, then you are seen every three to four months instead of every six.
Gum disease is chronic. Treating it once and returning to twice-yearly cleanings is how people lose ground slowly. The program exists because the interval is the treatment.
