Nonsurgical periodontal treatment refers to a variety of professional procedures designed to prevent, manage or treat gum disease without requiring invasive surgery. At Encinitas Dental Design, we evaluate gum and bone conditions to determine the most effective plan. Treatments may include deep cleanings, scaling and root planing, localized antimicrobial therapy, and personalized home care recommendations. These interventions aim to reduce infection, control inflammation and preserve natural teeth and supporting structures.
This approach is especially beneficial for patients with early to moderate gum disease, gingivitis or mild to moderate periodontitis. By addressing disease early through nonsurgical care, we can often halt progression, preserve gum and bone health, and avoid the need for surgical intervention.
