Periodontal Endoscopy IN LAS VEGAS & HENDERSON, NV
ANTHEM PERIO, LAS VEGAS' CHOICE FOR ADVANCED PERIODONTICS
Traditional treatment for gum disease often starts with scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to remove plaque and tartar from the roots of your teeth below the gumline.
Periodontal endoscopy is a therapeutic procedure that introduces a tiny, miniature camera with state-of-the-art lighting and magnification to visualize and then successfully treat specific areas below your gum line non-surgically. This miniature camera and the fiber optic light source are called a periodontal endoscope. The periodontal endoscope will allow your dental professional the ability to see the surface of the root while being cleaned. This innovative technology also allows the visualization and magnification of other tooth issues such as decay, abnormalities, or fractures that have happened beneath your gum line.
What are the Benefits of Using a Periodontal Endoscopy?
The periodontal endoscope allows your dental professional to accurately see and effectively treat periodontal and other dental conditions, which might go undetected. The periodontal endoscope is a terrific new tool in helping maintain your teeth in the constant struggle with periodontal or gum disease. Using the periodontal endoscope is more conservative and less invasive than traditional treatments. It has been proven to be more successful than traditional scaling procedures. Your dental professional has examined and evaluated thousands of gum pockets with disease and treated them with either traditional scaling or with endoscopic scaling. Diseased pockets of more than 5 millimeters were reduced to healthy margins with both treatments. The use of the periodontal endoscope has been proven to increase the percentage of healthy, successful results. Even more advanced cases show more predictable results. Studies have shown an incredible reduction in the number of cases with residual infection when the periodontal endoscope is used instead of conventional non-surgical treatment.

How Long Does Periodontal Endoscopy Take?
Because of the delicate and intricate nature of using a periodontal endoscope, the procedure will usually take a bit longer than a normal appointment. Depending upon the amount of bacterial plaque and calculus and the position of the teeth being cared for, the procedure will usually take two hours for half of your mouth.
Gum surgery is an effective and commonly used treatment if you have advanced periodontal disease. If you require surgery, your dental team will skillfully provide this treatment as gently as possible. By introducing periodontal endoscopy, it reduces or eliminates the need for this surgery in many cases. Your dental team will discuss your treatment options with you to create an approach that is best for your individual situation.
