Targeting Gum Disease with Effective Antibiotic Therapy

At Island Lake Dental, we understand the importance of comprehensive periodontal care in maintaining optimal oral health. Arestin is an advanced antibiotic therapy designed to target and eliminate the bacteria responsible for gum disease. Read on to learn more about this innovative treatment option and how it can help restore your gum health.

Arestin is a prescription antibiotic treatment that comes in the form of microspheres containing minocycline, a powerful antibiotic. These microspheres are placed directly into periodontal pockets during a nonsurgical periodontal procedure, allowing for targeted delivery of antibiotics to the site of infection.

Benefits of Arestin Treatment:

  • Targeted Antibiotic Therapy: Arestin delivers antibiotics directly to the source of infection, effectively targeting and eliminating the bacteria responsible for gum disease.
  • Minimally Invasive: Arestin treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in conjunction with a regular dental cleaning, reducing the need for more extensive periodontal treatments.
  • Enhanced Healing: By targeting the underlying cause of gum disease, Arestin helps promote healing and regeneration of the gum tissues, leading to improved periodontal health.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Arestin continues to work for up to 21 days after placement, providing extended protection against bacterial re-infection and helping to prevent the progression of gum disease.

At Island Lake Dental, our experienced periodontal specialists are skilled in administering Arestin treatment with precision and care. We take a personalized approach to periodontal care, carefully assessing your gum health and designing a customized treatment plan to address your unique needs.
