Periodontitis Treatment in Bright Dental
About the clinic
Periodontitis treatment at Bright Dental in Des Plaines, Illinois, uses advanced tools like laser therapy and 3D digital scanners to save teeth and heal gums. The clinic holds the MetLife Top-Performing Provider accreditation for 2025–2026, which highlights their high quality of care. Dr. Furrukh Ashraf leads the dental team, using over 25 years of combined family clinic experience to manage gum disease at every stage.
Advanced gum diagnostics
Successful treatment begins with a detailed map of the infection. The clinic uses digital tools to identify how deep the gum disease has spread. A standard evaluation includes:
- Periodontal evaluation. This includes precise pocket depth measurements to check for bone loss.
- Digital impressions. The team uses a Medit i900 intraoral scanner for clear 3D views of the mouth.
- Surgical guides. The clinic uses in-office 3D printing for accurate planning before any procedure.
Non-surgical and laser treatments
Early stages of gum disease are often handled without surgery. These methods remove bacteria and help gums reattach to the teeth. The clinic offers the following options:
- Scaling and root planing. This deep cleaning removes tartar from below the gumline and smoothes the roots.
- Laser-assisted gum therapy. A dental laser targets infected tissue and bacteria to speed up healing.
- Arestin® local antibiotic. Dr. Furrukh Ashraf places this antibiotic directly into gum pockets to fight bacteria for 21 days.
- Periodontal maintenance. Patients receive specialized cleanings every 3–4 months to keep the disease in remission.
Surgical interventions for advanced cases
When gum pockets are too deep for standard cleaning, surgical steps become necessary. Bright Dental performs flap surgery to access hard-to-reach areas and reduce pocket depth. This procedure helps regenerate bone and tissue to prevent tooth loss. The clinic uses 3D-printed guides to make these procedures more precise. Most gum treatments are outpatient, meaning patients can return home the same day. For those needing long-term care, the team creates a custom schedule to monitor gum health and prevent the infection from returning.
If you are experiencing gum pain or bleeding, you can request a consultation at Bright Dental through the Bookimed website.

Bright Dental: more details about the clinic
Bright Dental is a private family dental clinic in Des Plaines, Illinois. The practice provides oral healthcare for patients of all ages. The team combines comfort-first care with digital dentistry workflows.
Accreditations and Recognition
Bright Dental is recognized as a MetLife Top-Performing Provider for 2025–2026. The award specifically names Dr. Furrukh Ashraf for quality and performance.
The clinic has treated over 8,400 patients. It maintains high feedback scores across major digital platforms. The medical team brings around 25 years of combined experience.
Dental Implant and Restorative Surgery
The clinic provides several surgical and restorative options for missing teeth:
- Single-tooth dental implants with custom crown restorations
- All-on-4 full-arch restorations to replace an entire row of teeth
- Implant-supported bridges anchored by two implants at each end
- Bone grafting procedures to prepare the jaw for successful placement
- Flap surgery for pocket reduction in advanced gum disease cases
Surgeons use computer-guided technology for minimally invasive implant placement. This helps clinicians treat complex "last resort" scenarios. Patients typically return to normal activity within 24–48 hours after surgery.
Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry
Bright Dental manages tooth alignment for both children and adults. Specialists offer traditional metal braces for complex alignment needs. Adult patients often choose Invisalign clear aligners for nearly invisible treatment.
The clinic produces aligner models and custom retainers using in-office technology. This cuts wait times for patients starting treatment. Pediatric services include routine preventive care and early orthodontic checkups.
Periodontal Care and Cosmetic Services
For gum disease, the clinic offers Laser-Assisted Gum Therapy. This non-surgical option treats periodontitis. The laser targets infection while helping gum tissue reattach to the teeth.
The practice also provides various aesthetic treatments:
- Professional in-office teeth whitening performed in one session
- Take-home whitening kits for gradual brightening
- Porcelain veneers and cosmetic smile makeovers
- Tooth recontouring and cosmetic bonding
Deep cleaning via scaling and root planing is performed under local anesthesia. This keeps patients comfortable during removal of plaque below the gumline.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
Bright Dental uses a Medit i900 Intraoral Scanner for all digital impressions. This device creates high-resolution 3D maps of the mouth. It replaces traditional putty molds for crowns, bridges, and aligners.
The facility operates in-office 3D printing technology. This system produces surgical guides and dentures on-site for better fit accuracy. Chairside monitors display 3D scans and X-rays so patients can understand their treatment plans. The clinic manages all patient data through Dentrix Ascend cloud-based digital records.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats international patients and supports Spanish-speaking visitors. Staff members provide a full "Se Habla Español" experience. Support is available for both routine visits and complex surgical consultations.
