Imagine a world where gum disease is effortlessly evicted, and your smile shines brighter than ever. That’s not just a dream—it’s a reality with Arestin®, our superhero antibiotic therapy that zeroes in on gum disease with pinpoint precision. At Marshlands Family Dentistry, our dental team is versed in administering Arestin and delivering gentle, effective care to our patients in Beaufort and beyond.
Arestin is a powerful antibiotic specifically formulated to target and treat periodontal disease. It comes in the form of minuscule particles packed with minocycline, a potent antibiotic. These microspheres are placed directly into the infected pockets around your teeth, where they slowly release the antibiotic over time. Furthermore, Arestin effectively reduces bacteria and inflammation right where the problem exists.
Our Arestin process is simple yet thorough. Used in combination with dental deep cleaning, our periodontic dentists, Dr. Edward Wise and Dr. John Wise, tailor the dose to each patient based on their medical condition and response to treatment.
First, our skilled hygienists will perform a deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and below the gum line. Next, we’ll meticulously apply Arestin to the affected areas. This dual-action approach not only removes harmful bacteria but also continues to combat infection long after you leave our dental office near St Helena Island.
Are you curious about what to expect from your Arestin® treatment? You’re not alone. Luckily, our experienced dentists are here to ensure you feel confident about your treatment plan by answering some frequently asked questions:

“I don’t know if I’ve ever been to a dentist that was an enjoyable experience, but this one was. I was so anxious leading up to the appointment, and hadn’t been feeling great (mentally and physically) the morning of, but the friendliness of the staff and kindness of everyone made me happier overall. When we were finished up, I left there more joyful than I had walked in. Of course my teeth feel awesome and look great..”

“Savannah H. cleaned my teeth and she was outstanding! I am a dental hygienist as well and her training (she went to the same college I did) patient interaction, and communication were above and beyond my expectations, which tend to be pretty high! Believe it or not, very much like the shoemakers son, I was overdue for my cleaning. Savannah H. made sure to update my x-rays including taking the very important pictures.”
