Arestin®

What Is Arestin®?

Dentist Augusta

Arestin® is a locally applied antibiotic used to treat gum disease by targeting bacteria in periodontal pockets. Unlike systemic antibiotics, Arestin® delivers medication directly to the site of infection, allowing higher concentrations where it is needed most. It is composed of minocycline microspheres that slowly release the antibiotic over time, helping to reduce inflammation, fight bacteria, and support the healing of gums. Arestin® is often used in combination with scaling and root planing to enhance treatment outcomes, particularly for patients with moderate to severe periodontitis. By addressing bacterial infections directly, Arestin® helps prevent further tissue and bone damage, reduces pocket depth, and promotes healthier gums.

At Summerville Dentistry, we provide precise Arestin® application tailored to each patient’s periodontal condition. Our team evaluates gum health, identifies areas of infection, and administers the antibiotic with careful technique to ensure maximum effectiveness. Residents of the Augusta, GA area benefit from our combination of advanced periodontal care, targeted treatment, and patient-focused guidance. By using Arestin®, patients experience faster reduction of infection, improved gum healing, and better long-term results.

  Very kind,  efficient and very knowledgeable staff.  I feel very well taken cared of at this practice. Highly recommend them! Recently had some broken tooth issues and with some other medical issues I was having at the time, made it difficult to communicate well with staff. Dr. Bish, Dr. Harper, Nikki (sp) were so accommodating, so helpful and did a great job! Have always enjoyed the great care of Robin and the front staff personnel were great!
