About Our
Gum Antibiotic Therapy
Antibiotic therapy for gum disease, including localized treatments such as Arestin, helps reduce harmful bacteria and control infection within the gums and periodontal pockets. Arestin may be placed directly into deeper periodontal pockets after scaling and root planing to support healing and reduce inflammation. This targeted therapy can help improve gum health, decrease pocket depth, and enhance the effectiveness of periodontal treatment.
With same-day appointments available and most PPO plans accepted, getting the care you need has never been easier. Our teams at Elite Smiles of La Jolla and Elite Dental Care in Chula Vista serve patients throughout La Jolla, Chula Vista, and the greater San Diego County area.
