Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatments in Upland, CA
Early Gum Disease Treatment That Protects Your Smile Without Surgery
Gum disease is easiest to treat before permanent damage occurs. At Empower Dental Upland, our non-surgical periodontal treatments eliminate harmful bacteria, reduce inflammation, and help restore healthy gums—often preventing the need for surgical treatment.
Stop Gum Disease Before It Progresses
Early treatment is one of the most effective ways to preserve your teeth and avoid extensive periodontal procedures.
Whether you've noticed bleeding gums or have recently been diagnosed with gingivitis or early periodontitis, our team provides personalized care designed to restore your oral health with conservative treatment.
Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
Scaling and root planing is considered the gold standard for treating early to moderate gum disease.
During treatment we:
- Remove plaque and tartar beneath the gumline
- Eliminate bacterial toxins
- Smooth root surfaces
- Encourage gum tissue to reattach naturally
Benefits include:
- Reduced inflammation
- Less bleeding
- Fresher breath
- Healthier gum attachment
- Lower risk of disease progression
Perio Protect® Therapy
Perio Protect trays provide an effective at-home solution for managing chronic periodontal bacteria.
Custom-made trays deliver prescription medication deep beneath the gumline where toothbrushes and floss cannot reach.
This therapy is ideal for patients with:
- Chronic periodontal disease
- Recurring inflammation
- High-risk medical conditions
- Ongoing periodontal maintenance
Periodontal Maintenance
After active treatment, routine periodontal maintenance helps keep infection under control.
Unlike standard dental cleanings, periodontal maintenance appointments include:
- Deep cleaning below the gumline
- Pocket depth evaluation
- Monitoring bone levels
- Removal of bacterial buildup
- Personalized home care recommendations
Most periodontal patients benefit from maintenance visits every three to four months.
