FAQ
Periodontal maintenance in Skillman, NJ: your questions, answered
Every three to four months for most patients who have been treated for gum disease. Your pocket readings set whether it is three or four months, Dr. Maxim Godko adjusts the interval as your gums change, and your next visit is booked before you leave.
It depends on how many pockets need attention below the gumline and whether x-rays are due. The team tells you the time for your visit when they book you, so you can plan the rest of your day around it.
Most patients find it much like a thorough cleaning. Tell your hygienist about any sensitive spot and it can be numbed, and sedation(nitrous oxide, oral sedation or IV sedation, in which you can still respond) is given by Dr. Godko for patients who prefer it. The team speaks English, Ukrainian and Russian.
For as long as your readings show your gums need it. Periodontitis is a chronic condition: treatment brings it under control, but its bacteria can return to treated pockets even when your gums look and feel fine. That is why maintenance continues instead of a return to regular cleanings, and Dr. Maxim Godko adjusts your interval as your gums change.
Periodontal maintenance is priced at your personalized consultation, based on your gums, and you see your cost before treatment. We accept PPO plans and most carriers, including CIGNA, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Delta Dental and GEHA Connection Dental. No Medicaid, DMO or HMO plans accepted. We work with your insurance to ensure you receive the maximum benefit. 0% financing through Cherry and in-house membership plans, including the Adult Perio Plan with four maintenance cleanings a year, are also available.
Yes. New patients are welcome. Recent x-rays from your last office are helpful if you have them; your pockets are measured at your first visit to set the baseline every later visit is compared with.
The hygiene team on Dr. Maxim Godko’s staff performs your maintenance cleanings, and Dr. Godko, an 8-Time Top Doctor, adjusts your interval as your readings change. If a pocket needs more than a cleaning, the next step, from Arestin placed in the pocket to gum surgery by Dr. Godko himself, happens in the same office.
No. Deluxe offers periodontal, endodontic, prosthodontic and oral surgery services under one roof, so your checkups, your maintenance cleanings and any gum treatment stay with one team, on one chart, without alternating between offices.
Yes. The Skillman, NJ office is open Monday to Thursday, 9 am to 6 pm, and Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, and our Lawrenceville, NJ office adds Wednesday and Thursday evenings until 7 pm and Saturdays from 9 am to 2 pm.
