There are a wide range of procedures at the disposal of periodontists for the treatment of periodontal diseases and conditions in Milpitas. When multiple treatment choices are available, the American Academy of Periodontology supports the use of the most minimally invasive and cost-efficient option. Often, this means that patients can undergo non-surgical treatments to restore periodontal health. Examples of non-surgical periodontal treatments include:

• Scaling and Root Planing – This procedure is used to remove bacteria and built-up tartar from deep within the gum pockets surrounding the teeth. It usually involves supplemental therapy, such as the use of topical antibiotics.

• Tray Delivery – Used to treat periodontal disease, tray delivery systems are at-home antibiotic treatments used in pre-measured trays.
