Perioscope – Dr. Friedberg & Associates
Advanced Technology for Gum Disease Treatment
At Dr. Friedberg & Associates, we use perioscopes to take periodontal care to the next level. This advanced dental technology allows our team to see beneath the gumline in real time, helping us diagnose and treat gum disease with greater accuracy and precision.
What Is a Perioscope?
A perioscope is a specialized dental camera designed to magnify and illuminate the area beneath your gums. It is used in non-surgical periodontal therapy to identify and remove tartar, plaque, and bacteria from deep periodontal pockets. By providing a clear, magnified image, it helps us target problem areas without the need for invasive procedures.
Benefits of Using a Perioscope
Incorporating perioscopes into your periodontal treatment offers several advantages:
-
Enhanced visibility – See problem areas that X-rays and traditional tools might miss
-
Minimally invasive – Reduce the need for surgical procedures
-
More effective cleaning – Thorough removal of bacteria and debris
-
Better treatment outcomes – Support gum healing and prevent disease progression
When Is the Perioscope Used?
We typically use the perioscope for patients with moderate to advanced gum disease, especially when deep periodontal pockets are present. It is also helpful for those who want to avoid surgery or for maintenance therapy after periodontal treatment.
Our Process
-
Evaluation – We assess your gums and measure pocket depths.
-
Perioscope Imaging – A small fiber-optic camera is inserted gently beneath the gumline.
-
Treatment – Guided by the live images, we remove tartar and bacteria from affected areas.
-
Follow-Up Care – We monitor healing and provide guidance to maintain gum health.
