Gum Disease Treatments - Lynn Haven, FL

Scaling and root planing in Lynn Haven, FL, is a nonsurgical deep cleaning of the gums that removes plaque and tartar below the gumline. The tooth roots are carefully smoothed to discourage bacterial buildup and promote healing.

This treatment reduces inflammation, shrinks periodontal pockets, and helps gums reattach to teeth. It is often the first line of bleeding gums treatment at Bay Implant and Perio for managing mild to moderate gum disease.

Periodontal maintenance is an ongoing care program designed for patients with a history of gum disease. These visits are more frequent than routine cleanings and focus on preventing reinfection.

During these visits, our periodontists monitor pocket depth, remove harmful bacteria, and evaluate your ongoing gum health. Regular maintenance is essential for long-term stability after active treatment.

Osseous surgery is performed when gum disease has created deep pockets that can’t be managed with nonsurgical therapy.

During this procedure, infected tissue is removed, and the bone is reshaped to eliminate areas where bacteria collect. This type of gum surgery enhances the ability of the gums to reattach securely to the teeth, helps stabilize advanced periodontitis, and prevents further bone loss.

LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a minimally invasive laser therapy in Lynn Haven, FL, used to treat moderate to severe periodontitis.

The laser targets infected tissue while preserving healthy gum tissue. This technique promotes regeneration of bone and connective tissue while reducing discomfort and recovery time, without incisions or sutures.

LAPIP (Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) is designed to treat infection around dental implants. It uses laser technology to eliminate bacteria and stimulate healing without damaging the implant surface or healthy tissue.

This approach helps preserve implants that might otherwise be at risk of failure, while supporting long-term implant health and stability.

PST is a patented, minimally invasive method for treating gum recession. Instead of grafting tissue, tiny openings are created to gently reposition existing gum tissue over exposed roots. This protocol reduces sensitivity and improves appearance without scalpels or sutures. As such, PST typically results in minimal discomfort and quick recovery.

Arestin is a localized antibiotic placed directly into periodontal pockets after deep cleaning. It releases medication over time to eliminate lingering bacteria and reduce inflammation. This targeted therapy enhances the effectiveness of scaling and root planing, helps prevent reinfection, and supports healing between visits.

Gum grafting in Lynn Haven, FL, restores areas where gum tissue has receded, exposing tooth roots. Donor tissue is carefully placed to cover vulnerable areas, improving protection and appearance. This procedure reduces sensitivity, helps prevent further recession, and strengthens support for long-term tooth health.

A gingivectomy removes excess or diseased gum tissue to eliminate deep pockets and reshape the gumline. It may be recommended to improve oral health or enhance smile aesthetics. Removing infected tissue helps prevent bacterial accumulation, makes oral hygiene easier, and results in a healthier, more balanced gumline.

A frenectomy removes or repositions a tight frenum, the small band of tissue connecting the lips or tongue to the gums. This procedure may be needed when tension contributes to gum recession, spacing, or functional concerns. It improves comfort, mobility, and oral health stability. Frenectomies at Bay Implant and Perio are quick and can be performed with minimally invasive lasers.
