Expert Care for Your Oral Health at Foundation Dental Specialists

Perioscopy

Appointments

At Foundation Dental Specialists in Pasadena, we take gum health seriously. Early detection and intervention are key to preventing the progression of periodontal disease. 

What Is Perioscopy?

  • Minimally Invasive: Perioscopy, also known as Dental Endoscopy, uses a tiny dental endoscope to visualize and treat periodontal pockets, reducing the need for surgical intervention
  • Enhanced Visualization: The endoscope provides a 48 times magnification view of the periodontal pocket, allowing for more precise cleaning and treatment of affected areas
  • Improved Diagnosis: Dentists can accurately identify and target plaque, tartar, and other debris that may be missed with traditional methods
  • Greater Comfort: Because it is less invasive, patients typically experience less discomfort during and after the procedure compared to traditional periodontal surgery
  • Effective Treatment: By thoroughly cleaning the root surfaces and removing infection-causing agents, perioscopy can help slow down the progression of periodontal disease and promote healing
  • Reduced Healing Time: The minimally invasive nature of perioscopy often leads to quicker recovery times and less post-operative pain
  • Results can be maintained for 36 months
