Long-Term Maintenance Services
If you’ve been treated for gum disease, regular maintenance is crucial for long-term oral health. Periodontal maintenance visits are specially designed cleanings that occur more frequently than standard check-ups—typically every three to four months—to keep harmful bacteria from re-establishing below your gum line. Think of these appointments as protecting the investment you've made in healing your gums.
During maintenance visits, we carefully monitor your gum health, measure pocket depths, and thoroughly clean areas that are most vulnerable to re-infection. These appointments aren't just about prevention—they're opportunities for us to celebrate your progress and catch any concerns early when they're easiest to address. Most of our patients find that once they're on a maintenance schedule, their gums remain healthy and comfortable, allowing them to smile without worry and enjoy all the foods they love.
