Advanced Periodontal & Laser Therapy

Comprehensive treatment for moderate to advanced periodontal disease.

From $395

Advanced Periodontal Therapy
Comprehensive non-surgical treatment for active gum disease, bleeding gums, deep periodontal pockets, and inflammation.
Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic inflammatory condition caused by harmful bacteria living beneath the gumline. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, loose teeth, bad breath, and may impact your overall health.
At Mint Dental Hygiene, our goal is to stabilise disease, reduce inflammation, and help you maintain healthy gums for the long term.
Your treatment may include:
• Comprehensive periodontal assessment and charting• Measurement of pocket depths, bleeding scores, and gum recession • Topical numbing gel and local anaesthetic available when required, allowing treatment to be tailored to your individual comfort levels and ensuring the highest level of comfort• Advanced air polishing to gently disrupt harmful biofilm• Warm water ultrasonic therapy for enhanced comfort• Root surface debridement to remove bacterial deposits beneath the gumline• Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy where clinically indicated • Personalised home care coaching and product recommendations• Reassessment and long-term maintenance planning
Advanced Biofilm Analysis
Where clinically indicated, treatment may include live biofilm analysis using phase contrast microscopy.
This allows us to examine a sample of plaque collected from your mouth and view oral bacteria in real time on a screen. By visualising bacterial activity and biofilm maturity, patients gain a better understanding of the factors contributing to gum disease and the importance of ongoing home care and maintenance.
Live biofilm analysis can also be used to monitor changes over time and assess the effectiveness of treatment and oral hygiene routines.
Healing and Reassessment
Following active treatment, your gums require time to heal and respond. A reassessment appointment is typically scheduled approximately 8–12 weeks later to review healing, remeasure pocket depths, and evaluate your response to treatment.
Supportive Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal disease can be successfully controlled but requires ongoing maintenance. Regular supportive periodontal maintenance appointments help prevent disease recurrence, monitor changes over time, and protect the health of your teeth, gums, and dental implants.
Designed Around Your Comfort
We understand that periodontal treatment can feel daunting for some patients. Our comfort-focused approach includes warm water technology, gentle treatment techniques, optional local anaesthetic where required, Rescue Remedy®, and a calm, supportive environment designed to help you feel relaxed throughout your care.
With early intervention, personalised treatment, and ongoing maintenance, most patients can successfully stabilise periodontal disease and enjoy healthier gums for years to come.
