ARESTIN IN LENOIR, NC
TARGETED GUM THERAPY
Arestin in Lenoir, NC is a locally applied antibiotic that helps treat gum disease after deep cleanings.
Placed directly into infected pockets after scaling and root planing, Arestin releases medication gradually where it’s needed most. It works locally to control bacteria and support healing without systemic side effects, delivering focused therapy that strengthens tissues, improves comfort, enhances stability, and promotes predictable long-term periodontal outcomes.
This treatment improves overall effectiveness and reduces future damage, discomfort, or disease progression by limiting bacterial regrowth, supporting gum tissue regeneration, reinforcing treatment results, and lowering the risk of recurring periodontal infection.
HOW IT WORKS
Arestin boosts the effectiveness of deep cleaning procedures for patients with moderate to severe gum disease.
We place the antibiotic into specific gum pockets where bacteria remain after scaling and root planing. The slow release continues fighting harmful microbes over several days, reducing inflammation and promoting tissue healing while supporting patient comfort, predictable outcomes, easier maintenance, and improved long-term periodontal stability.
The result is a more thorough, site-specific treatment without the risks of full-body antibiotic exposure, allowing precise infection control while minimizing side effects and supporting safer periodontal care for long-term health.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Arestin is a simple, comfortable treatment completed in minutes during your regular periodontal visit in Lenoir, NC.
There are no injections or pills involved—just a precise placement of antibiotic powder that starts working immediately. Patients typically avoid flossing the treated area for about 10 days and follow standard home care to protect the results.
Used as part of your periodontal plan, Arestin adds stability and improves long-term outcomes by targeting lingering bacteria, enhancing gum response, improving treatment precision, and reducing the risk of disease relapse.
MINOCYCLINE MICROSPHERES
Arestin is made of tiny antibiotic microspheres that dissolve over time to treat infection at the source. They provide sustained release, localized action, pocket reduction, healing, and reduced systemic exposure risks.
NON-INVASIVE ADDITION
It’s applied directly after deep cleaning—no additional appointments or anesthesia required for placement. This makes treatment efficient, comfortable, convenient, and safe, while fitting easily into your regular periodontal care routine.
