Periodontitis is a major reason for tooth loss and systemic complications. We create the user-friendly perio approach from patient acceptance scripting to chairside positive action. You will incorporate time tested and new technologies to find and manage periodontal disease. Take the frustration out of delivering periodontal care and gain success with patient case acceptance, tooth retention and financial reward.

Empower the dental hygienist with expanded work descriptions beyond the “prophy”

Incorporate new technologies for biofilm control as Guided Biofilm Therapy
Review successful parameters to determine tooth survival in short and long term prognosis
Establish a quality periodontal maintenance program that enhances the restorative practice, including coding and third party reimbursement
Achieve greater positive interaction between dentists, periodontists and the team through improved communication skills
