Identify Harmful Bacteria With Advanced Detection

We use advanced technology to find and identify harmful bacteria so your treatment can be as targeted as possible.

Our Panthera C2 Trinocular 50:50 Phase Microscope lets us view bacteria in real time, for a clear picture of what is happening in your mouth. The MicrobeLinkDX system can detect 11 different pathogenic bacteria linked to gum disease.

By identifying the exact type of bacteria present, we can create a more effective treatment plan tailored to your needs. We'll address the underlying cause of your gum problems, rather than just the symptoms. Our gum care is precise, personalized, and designed to renew your oral health.

Restore Gum Health With Customized Care

Once we understand the type and severity of your gum disease, we recommend treatment designed specifically for you. Scaling and root planing is often used to remove plaque and tartar beneath the gumline. We can perform this treatment traditionally or with a laser for added precision and comfort.

We may also use topical antibiotics to help reduce bacterial levels and antibacterial irrigation to flush harmful bacteria from problem areas. This combination approach promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and helps prevent further damage.

This was the BEST dentist office I had ever been in. It was absolutely wonderful. The people was very pleasant. Very nice. Was very concerned about your comfort and your well-being. They could hold an intelligent conversation with you. Didn't make you feel less than it was. Definitely a one-of-a-kind experience for me. I would advise every single person that I know to go to this dentistry. They are very very welcoming. You will not have a problem in going back to these people. The only sad part about it is I can only give five stars. Love these people! I am so glad that I chose them.

I’ve been a patient with dr. Elrod for 20 plus years. Hands down the best dentist in the country! All the work I’ve had done is the best quality and lasts. I still have some CEREC that have lasted over 20 years. This is the only dentist I’ve been to that I’m actually excited to go to.

Above and beyond exceptional service!! The office is stunning and the staff are exceptional. I'm definitely appreciative of the tour and gift! Very friendly and knowledgeable. They took their time and didn't make me feel like just another patient. Most importantly, I felt comfortable and heard. My only regret is not becoming a new patient sooner. Never had an experience like that at a dental office before! Thank you DDS!

I did an in office teeth whitening appointment. I thought front staff very friendly and my appointment was on time. They actually accommodated an earlier time for me. I am pleased with the results and would definitely recommend this facility! The staff was very friendly and listened to my concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Disease Treatment

What is nonsurgical gum disease treatment?
Nonsurgical gum disease treatment focuses on controlling infection and stopping its progression without surgery. It may involve scaling and root planing, laser therapy, antibacterial rinses, and antibiotics. These methods are designed to remove harmful bacteria, reduce inflammation, and help your gums heal while preserving your natural teeth.
How do you know what bacteria I have?
We use advanced technology, including the Panthera C2 microscope and the MicrobeLinkDX system, to identify specific bacteria in your mouth. Knowing the exact bacteria present allows us to choose treatments that target your condition more effectively. This results in better outcomes and a reduced chance of gum disease returning.
How does laser gum treatment work?
Laser gum treatment uses a focused beam of light to remove bacteria and diseased tissue with precision. This method is minimally invasive, promotes faster healing, and reduces post-treatment discomfort. We use this option when appropriate to make your gum disease therapy as effective and comfortable as possible.
