Consistent care for confident prevention


Long-term gum health is very, very important. Now, a lot of patients feel that once they've had a deep cleaning or once they've had periodontal surgery, be it laser or traditional surgery, that they're done. It's a one and done, we're done.

Not the case, unfortunately. Gum disease is a chronic disease. It is much like diabetes being a chronic disease.

You're going to have periods of absolute great gum health, and then all of a sudden, you're just going to start going down. So, what we do here in this practice is we do periodontal maintenance. It's more than what you would get at a general office.

It's a lot less than a deep cleaning. It's sort of what I like to call infection control. So, usually with periodontal maintenance, we like to have our patients come in every 90 days, and there's a reason for this.


We know from our studies that it takes 89 days for the bacteria to get to a point where they can start causing problems. So, that's why we swoop in on the 90th day, and we have patients come in, and we make sure that they see our hygienist, and that we do that infection control appointment, and we get that bacterial level back down so it doesn't get to the point again where we need to do something more significant.

Protect Your Gums Long Term With Periodontal Maintenance in Turlock

Periodontal maintenance is a series of regular follow-up visits after gum disease treatment to keep your gums healthy over time. This consistent attention is what prevents the disease from returning and causing further damage. With periodontal maintenance in Turlock, you will:

  • Keep your gums healthy and catch early signs of trouble before they grow into bigger problems
  • Prevent gum disease from returning by keeping harmful bacterial buildup under control
  • Encourage healthier habits that support your long-term gum health
  • Reduce the need for more extensive treatment by staying ahead of potential issues
  • Support your overall health, since controlled gum disease is linked to a lower risk of serious systemic conditions

See What Happens During Your Periodontal Maintenance Visits

Keeping gum disease under control takes consistent monitoring and care from an experienced periodontist. Dr. Kaeley brings her expertise to every maintenance visit, giving your gums the attention they need to stay healthy between appointments. During each visit, you will receive:

  • Complete Gum Exam - Your gums are checked for signs of inflammation, and pocket depths are measured. Your overall periodontal health is assessed to make sure everything is on track.
  • Thorough Deep Cleaning - Plaque and tartar are carefully removed from above and below the gumline using techniques that go beyond what a standard cleaning covers. This helps prevent disease from returning.
  • Detailed Health Monitoring - Digital X-rays and intraoral imaging help track any changes in your gum health over time. Any symptoms or concerns you have noticed since your last visit are discussed.
  • Personalized Home Care Advice - You'll leave with tailored guidance on cleaning techniques and lifestyle habits that help you keep your gums in good shape between professional visits.
  • Collaborative Care Planning - If any changes to your gum health are found, we will put together a follow-up plan to address them early, before they have a chance to progress.

Using the latest techniques, Dr. Kaeley delivers thorough care at every appointment. Sedation is available if you feel anxious about dental visits.

Contact our office today to discover how periodontal maintenance in Turlock helps keep your gums healthy.

I had a very pleasant, professional and thorough initial consultation. A much better experience compared to another initial exam consultation I had at another Modesto periodontist. I was presented with the LANAP option (the other office never mentioned it, probably because they don't have the equipment).

Best in the Bay Area

I am now 3 months after the surgery and amazed by the results!! My gums are not sore/swollen at all & do not bleed anymore! I had consulted and done treatment last year for an entire year with another dentist and they were unable to repair my gums. I have only heartfelt thanks for Dr. Kaeley...

I am now 3 months after the surgery and amazed by the results!! My gums are not sore/swollen at all & do not bleed anymore! I had consulted and done treatment last year for an entire year with another dentist and they were unable to repair my gums. I have only heartfelt thanks for Dr. Kaeley for helping me repair my gums. Dr. Kaeley will check my pockets next year and I could require another round of LANAP depending on how deep the pockets are. Dr, Kaeley is very knowledgeable & experienced. I don't think there is another gum specialist here in the Bay area like her.

Exceptional Periodontist

Dr. Kaeley is an exceptional Periodontist. The staff is very polite and they make you feel very comfortable. I would recommend Progressive Periodontics to friends and family members. This is the office to be seen if you want or need a Periodontics procedure or treatment.

ABSOLUTELY the best

I am beyond happy to have found this place. They're so caring, gentle and all the staffs are so friendly. I used to be so deathly afraid to get a basic cleaning for my teeth because no matter how much I tell them to be gentle at other places (due to sensitive teeth), they don't seem to listen...

I used to be so deathly afraid to get a basic cleaning for my teeth because no matter how much I tell them to be gentle at other places (due to sensitive teeth), they don't seem to listen but when I started going here for my gum treatments, I always look forward to going now. Please go here if you need periodontics treatment because they are ABSOLUTELY the best.

Tracy was great! Gentle. She also provided great suggestions on how to maintain my oral health. I greatly appreciated her suggestions as I know my oral health impacts my general, overall physical health.

That made me to calm down little bit :). She explained everything what she was doing and she even called me in evening to ask how I am doing and if everything is ok. I recommend Dr. Kaeley to everyone.
