Using Perioscopy to Save Teeth Without Surgery
Perioscopy is a minimally invasive and cost-effective treatment of gum disease. It has long been a standard of care around the world and is now available in New Zealand at our dental practice in Auckland.
Effective
Perioscopy is a revolutionary procedure featuring a medical-grade miniature endoscope, which enables your clinician to effectively diagnose and treat the areas beneath the gum line, avoiding the need for surgical intervention.
Minimally invasive
The gums are numbed up, and the endoscope is inserted into the periodontal pocket, allowing the clinician to gain an illuminated and magnified view of the root structures. Slender manual and power-driven instruments are then used in real time to remove harmful bacterial deposits from deep periodontal pockets. Once the meticulous cleaning is complete your gums can start to heal naturally.
Cost effective
The cost of treatment can vary depending on the severity of your gum disease. During the initial consultation, an estimated treatment plan will be given: however, endoscopy is considerably cheaper then surgery. Also, unlike surgery, no post-operative or suture removal appointments are needed, allowing you to return to your everyday life faster while enjoying the benefits of your healthy gums.

Initially this patient presented with a deep periodontal pocket, but only after one session of Perioscopy, a notable bony refill was evident on X-rays. Clinically his pockets reduced to 4 mm, and the patient was pleased to be able to save his tooth.

FAQ
Do I need a gum examination as I already had one at my dentist? All patients, regardless of their geographic location, are required to undergo a periodontal consultation before any treatment. This is to allow us to examine, diagnose, and create a comprehensive treatment plan with accurate quotes.
