Periodontal Therapy at 22Luna is a specialized medical protocol designed to halt the progression of periodontitis—the chronic bacterial infection that destroys the bone holding your teeth in place.
Combining deep ultrasonic root planing, specialized subgingival curettage, and diode laser pocket decontamination, our periodontists eliminate subgingival calculus, detoxify root surfaces, and stimulate healthy gum reattachment.
