What Is Periodontal Maintenance?
Cosmetic Dentist in Kendall, FL
Periodontal maintenance is a deep cleaning program designed for patients who have completed gum disease treatment. Unlike standard cleanings that focus on visible tooth surfaces, this procedure removes bacteria and buildup beneath the gumline to maintain tissue and bone health.
Performed every 3–4 months, these visits prevent bacteria from reestablishing and keep inflammation under control, helping preserve your natural teeth and overall oral stability.

Benefits of Periodontal Maintenance
-
Prevents Recurrence: Stops gum infection from returning and maintains long-term gum stability.
-
Preserves Bone Health: Protects the bone and tissues that support your teeth.
-
Supports Whole-Body Health: Reduces inflammation that can affect heart and immune function.
Many of our patients in Kendall, Pinecrest, and South Miami maintain healthy, confident smiles through regular periodontal care.
