Periodontal maintenance is not a routine cleaning — it is a prescribed treatment for patients who have been diagnosed with gum disease and have already completed an initial phase of therapy such as scaling and root planing. For Country Club Estates residents who need to stay consistent with their gum health, Satilla Family Smiles provides this specialized care just minutes away at 48 Candler Drive, Suite 100 in Brunswick.
Our team, led by Dr. Bailey Sisler, provides thorough periodontal maintenance appointments designed to keep gum disease stable, protect the bone and tissue that support your teeth, and help you avoid more intensive treatment down the road. Country Club Estates sits along US Route 17, just a short drive south to our South Brunswick office — making it easy for patients to stay on schedule. As part of the communities we serve throughout Glynn County, Country Club Estates patients can count on consistent, professional-grade periodontal care close to home.
Periodontal maintenance is a prescribed dental cleaning specifically for patients with a history of gum disease. Unlike a standard prophylaxis — which is a preventive cleaning for healthy mouths — periodontal maintenance goes deeper. It removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from both above and below the gum line, including from within periodontal pockets that a routine cleaning cannot reach.
At Satilla Family Smiles, each periodontal maintenance appointment begins with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Sisler or our hygiene team will measure gum pocket depths, check for signs of inflammation or disease progression, and review any changes since your last visit. Then we perform a detailed cleaning above and below the gum line, targeting the areas where bacteria can quickly reestablish. The goal is to keep your gum disease stable and prevent it from advancing — protecting not just your gums, but the bone and tissue that support your teeth for the long term.
Your periodontal maintenance appointment at Satilla Family Smiles includes a combination of the following, tailored to your current gum health status.
Your hygienist records pocket depths at each visit to track changes and catch early signs of disease activity before they progress.
Plaque and calculus are removed from deep below the gum line using specialized instruments — an area a routine cleaning does not reach.
Tooth roots are smoothed to reduce bacterial adhesion and help gum tissue reattach more firmly, closing down periodontal pockets over time.
We review your home care routine and offer guidance on brushing technique, flossing, and any tools that can help you maintain results between visits.
Every periodontal maintenance patient at our practice follows a consistent, structured process so you always know what to expect and stay on top of your gum health.

If you have ever been diagnosed with gingivitis or periodontitis, you require ongoing maintenance rather than a routine prophylaxis.
Periodontal maintenance is the prescribed follow-up phase after SRP — it preserves your results and prevents relapse of the disease.
Pockets greater than 3mm tend to harbor bacteria that routine cleanings cannot access. Maintenance keeps them clean and monitored.
Ongoing gum inflammation even with good home care often signals active disease that requires more frequent professional intervention.
Patients with documented bone loss require closer monitoring to catch any further deterioration early and protect remaining tooth support.
Conditions such as diabetes or a history of tobacco use increase periodontal disease risk and may warrant more frequent maintenance visits.
Periodontal maintenance is a prescribed treatment, and coverage can vary widely by insurance plan. Cost should never be a barrier to the care your gum health requires.

Country Club Estates sits along US Route 17, just a short drive south to our office at 48 Candler Drive in Brunswick. For patients managing gum disease, consistency in keeping maintenance appointments is one of the most important factors in long-term success — and our location makes it easy to fit those visits into your schedule.
Dr. Bailey Sisler and our hygiene team approach every periodontal maintenance visit with the same level of care as your initial periodontal therapy. We document changes at every appointment, communicate clearly about what we are seeing in your gum tissue, and adjust your care plan if your health improves or if we notice areas of concern developing. You can learn more about our practice and Dr. Sisler’s philosophy on the Meet Dr. Bailey Sisler page.
