Precision, Not Systemic
Some periodontal pockets resist even excellent deep cleaning. ARESTIN addresses this by placing site-specific antibiotic microspheres directly into the pocket — delivering two weeks of active treatment at the infection point, with none of the whole-body effects of a traditional antibiotic course.
At Tropical Smiles Dental, ARESTIN is never prescribed universally — only to pockets that remain measurably deep after cleaning. For patients who want objective data about which bacteria are driving those pockets, MyPerioPath® lab testing tells us exactly where treatment precision matters most.
- Localized therapy within deep, persistent pockets only
- Two weeks of active antibiotic continuously at the site
- No whole-body antibiotic side effects
- Dissolves naturally — nothing to remove
What to Expect with ARESTIN®
Added to your deep cleaning — simple and painless
Confirm Which Sites Qualify
ARESTIN is placed only in pockets that remain deep after scaling and root planing — never as a preventive or blanket measure.
Placed at Your Therapy Visit
The microspheres are placed into the pocket immediately after deep cleaning is completed — no separate anesthesia, no extra visit.
Healing and Follow-Through
You follow simple aftercare guidance, return at your maintenance visit, and we measure whether pocket depth has resolved.
Why Kailua Kona Chooses Targeted Antibiotic Therapy
Evidence-Based, Not Aggressive
ARESTIN is indicated for specific pocket conditions — and prescribed only when those conditions exist.
No Whole-Body Antibiotic Burden
Local delivery achieves antimicrobial impact broadly reserved for systemic courses, with none of their side effects.
Measured Results
You will see your pocket numbers improve — or we adjust the plan together. Measurement replaces guesswork here.
