Comprehensive Care for Your Oral Health

At Downey Modern Dentistry, I provide evidence-based treatments tailored to each patient — using the latest tools and techniques for a healthier smile.

Dental Cleanings

Professional prophylaxis and periodontal maintenance to remove plaque, tartar, and staining — keeping your gums and teeth in optimal health.

All cleaning types are diagnosed by your dentist based on your gum health, tartar level, and the condition of your periodontium.

Prophy
Basic Cleaning
  • Healthy gums, little to no tartar
  • Stable periodontium
  • Routine preventive care
Scaling in the Presence of Inflammation
Basic Cleaning + Inflammation
  • Inflamed gums, mild to moderate tartar
  • Unstable periodontium
  • Reversible gingivitis
Scaling & Root Planing
Deep Cleaning
  • Mild to heavy tartar buildup below the gumline
  • Unstable periodontium with bone involvement
  • Inflammation is reversible — bone loss is not without osseous surgery (Phase 2 therapy)
Periodontal Maintenance
Every 3 Months — After SRP
  • Follows completion of scaling & root planing
  • Every 3 months until the periodontium is stabilized
  • Helps patients get back on track and stay there

While Marie truly enjoys doing deep cleanings and helping patients in every stage of gum health — optimal oral health is always the goal. The best cleaning is the one you never need.

Bacterial Decontamination with Irrigation

Targeted irrigation therapy to flush harmful bacteria from periodontal pockets, reducing inflammation and supporting gum tissue healing.

Bacterial Decontamination with Laser Therapy

Advanced soft-tissue laser treatment that decontaminates the gums, eliminates harmful bacteria, and stimulates blood clot formation to promote natural healing — helping the gum reattach to the tooth for improved periodontal health with minimal discomfort.

Arestin™ — Subgingival Antibiotic

Site-specific antibiotic placement below the gumline to combat localized bacterial infection and support periodontal therapy outcomes.

Teeth Whitening

Professional-grade whitening treatments for a brighter, more confident smile — safely applied and monitored by a licensed hygienist.

Periodontal Assessment

Thorough charting, x-ray review, and risk assessment to catch gum disease early and create a personalized prevention plan for each patient.

Curodont™ — Non-Invasive Cavity Reversal

A breakthrough peptide-based treatment that reverses early signs of tooth decay and promotes natural enamel regeneration — with no drilling, no filling, and no injections. Curodont works by remineralizing and rebuilding tooth structure at the earliest stage of decay, preserving your natural tooth.
