What Is Biological Periodontal Therapy?
Biological periodontal therapy uses science-backed methods and biocompatible materials to treat periodontal (gum) disease while supporting your body’s natural ability to heal. Unlike conventional approaches that rely heavily on aggressive procedures and synthetic chemicals, biological dentistry prioritizes:
- Minimally invasive techniques
- Safe, non-toxic materials
- Whole-body health connections
- Customized care rooted in prevention
With Dr. Cornelius, every step of your gum treatment plan is carefully considered—because the health of your gums affects far more than your smile.
Why Does Gum Health Matter?
Periodontal disease is more than just bleeding gums or bad breath. It’s a chronic inflammatory condition that can:
- Destroy the bone and tissues that support your teeth
- Contribute to systemic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s
- Increase your body’s toxic burden if left untreated or treated improperly
The mouth is a mirror of the body. When inflammation is present in the gums, it often reflects deeper imbalances elsewhere. That’s why we take a holistic approach to periodontal therapy—supporting not just your smile, but your full-body health.
Dr. Cornelius’s Holistic Approach
Dr. Cornelius combines advanced dental technology with a deep respect for natural healing. His biological periodontal therapy includes:
1. Comprehensive Diagnosis
We begin with advanced digital imaging, salivary testing, and a full biocompatibility review. This allows us to identify the root cause of inflammation—not just the symptoms.
2. Ozone Therapy
Ozone is a powerful antimicrobial agent that supports healing without harsh chemicals. We use ozone gas and ozonated water to painlessly disinfect periodontal pockets, reduce harmful bacteria, and stimulate oxygenation of the tissues.
3. Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy
We use gentle, precise dental lasers to target diseased gum tissue and promote regeneration. Laser therapy reduces bleeding, swelling, and discomfort, with faster healing times than traditional surgery.
4. Nutritional & Immune Support
Healthy gums start from within. We provide nutritional guidance, targeted supplementation, and detox support to strengthen your immune system’s ability to fight infection naturally.
5. Safe, Metal-Free Materials
If restorations or dental materials are needed, we use only BPA-free, fluoride-free, and mercury-free options. Your gums are treated with materials that honor the body’s natural chemistry.
