What Is Perioscopy? When Would I Need It?
Phoenix, AZ
 Perioscopy is an innovative dental procedure that involves the examination of the gums beneath the gum line. It is used to diagnose and treat various dental conditions. Utilizing a miniature camera attached to a dental endoscope, our dentist, Ronald Watkins, DDS, MS here at Implant and Periodontal Wellness Center of Arizona can visualize the gum tissue and record detailed images displayed on a computer screen. This provides both the dentist and the patient with a clear view of the oral environment. This is one of the reasons we use perioscopy and why it is a preferred option for many patients seeking comprehensive dental care.
Understanding Perioscopy
Perioscopy serves as a non-invasive method for examining the gums. It does not cause any damage to the delicate gum tissue or underlying root structures. Unlike traditional probing methods that may induce sensitivity, perioscopy offers a safe and comfortable alternative. By magnifying images and adjusting lighting, our dentist can accurately assess the condition of the gums, allowing for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
When is Perioscopy Necessary?
Perioscopy is particularly beneficial for patients with deep pockets in the gums surrounding their teeth, which indicates potential periodontal disease. Additionally, individuals experiencing gum inflammation may also benefit from perioscopy examination. This advanced technique surpasses traditional probing methods, providing superior accuracy in assessing gum health. With minimal discomfort and the absence of post-procedural pain, perioscopy offers a patient-friendly approach to examining the gums and providing the necessary and appropriate treatment.
What Are the Advantages of Perioscopy?
Perioscopy offers several advantages over traditional surgical interventions. Unlike surgery, perioscopy does not require extensive recovery time, allowing patients to resume their daily activities right away. Moreover, perioscopy is a cost-effective alternative to traditional gum surgeries, making it more accessible to a broader range of patients. By addressing gum conditions and cleaning the roots around the teeth, perioscopy aims to improve gum health and preserve natural teeth whenever possible. It is always our goal at Implant and Periodontal Wellness Center of Arizona to help you preserve the health of your teeth.
Opting for Perioscopy
Whether as a standalone examination method or as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, perioscopy offers invaluable insights into gum health and aids in preserving dental integrity. Even in cases where surgery may be necessary, perioscopy serves as a valuable tool for our dentist to assess the gum conditions of our patients accurately.
