Periscope
Advanced Technology for Gum Disease Treatment
At Dr. Friedberg & Associates, we use perioscope gum disease treatment to take periodontal care to the next level. Because this advanced dental technology lets us see beneath the gumline in real time, diagnosis and treatment become far more precise. As a result, we can provide care that not only targets current concerns but also supports long-term gum health.
What Is a Perioscope?
In other words, the perioscope works like a magnifying glass that reveals hidden gum problems. As a result, treatment becomes far more precise and less invasive.
A perioscope is a fiber-optic dental camera that magnifies and illuminates the area beneath your gums. It is often used in non-surgical periodontal therapy to detect tartar, plaque, and harmful bacteria hidden in deep pockets. By giving us a magnified view, this tool makes it possible to treat problem areas without invasive procedures. Moreover, the perioscope allows us to be more conservative, since unnecessary cutting can be avoided. You can learn more about how this compares to traditional methods from the American Academy of Periodontology.
Benefits of Perioscope Gum Disease Treatment
Choosing perioscope gum disease treatment offers many benefits for patients:
- Enhanced visibility – Detect areas that X-rays or traditional tools may miss.
- Minimally invasive – Reduce the need for surgical periodontal procedures.
- More effective cleaning – Remove bacteria and debris thoroughly.
- Better treatment outcomes – Encourage healing and help prevent gum disease progression.
For example, patients who once needed surgical procedures may now avoid them. Furthermore, the treatment supports faster recovery and reduces discomfort.
When Is the Perioscope Used?
We recommend the perioscope for patients with moderate to advanced gum disease, especially when deep periodontal pockets are present. It is also ideal for those who want to avoid surgery or need supportive maintenance therapy after previous treatment. Therefore, it is an excellent option for patients looking for long-term gum health with fewer surgical procedures.
Consequently, patients who struggle with deep periodontal pockets gain a reliable, minimally invasive solution. In addition, this approach is ideal for maintaining gum health over time.
