Targeted Treatment for Gum Infection

What is Arestin®?

Dentist Oak Lawn Dallas

Arestin® (minocycline hydrochloride) is a powerful antibiotic treatment used to target and eliminate the bacteria that cause gum infections. It’s applied directly to the infected areas, or “pockets,” in your gums after a scaling and root planing procedure. This treatment is particularly effective because it is placed in areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing. Scaling and root planing clean below the gum line, disrupting plaque and bacteria, and Arestin® is then used to target the remaining bacteria in these deep pockets.

The medication works to reduce infection, prevent further gum damage, and support the healing process. By delivering antibiotic treatment directly to the affected areas, Arestin® can effectively manage gum disease and help improve overall gum health. As part of a comprehensive periodontal treatment plan, Arestin® is a safe, effective option to prevent the progression of gum disease and restore oral health.

  I am a new patient, and I am very impressed with Dr. Vogel and how engaged he is with my care, even beyond my dental care.  He took the time to explain everything he checked and reviewed in my mouth.  He analyzed my entire medical history and, has already provided valuable insight and support to me and my primary care physician.  He cares very much about his patient's well-being, oral health and beyond.  I highly recommend Dr. Vogel and I am so thankful to have found him!

  Dr. Vogel and all of his staff that I have met are first rate. Though the cost of dentistry is staggering, the most important thing is the quality of the work. So far as I can tell, quality here is very high. His technology is current - I’m not afraid of dentists, so I don’t fear going, yet I had procedures done that I’d never seen before: methods of cleaning, techniques for investigating and diagnosing gum problems. The doctor is very good at communicating what he plans to do and what it will involve. He gave me a written treatment plan, complete with costs. Very transparent. I’m interested in the details, so he gave them to me, showing me on my X-rays where problems were, etc. I felt that I was in good hands. The hygienist who did my deep cleaning was also notably attentive and willing to keep me abreast of what she was doing. I was amazed that the cleaning produced visible change - not what I’ve experienced before. And they weren’t merely professionally competent - they were friendly and personable. Vogel started by asking me about myself: “I like to get to know my patients as people, not just mouths and teeth.” And I believe he meant it. I’m glad I found this practice. Addendum, August 2026: Just a cleaning today, with a different hygienist, also excellent. Ken was friendly and regularly checked in about how I was tolerating the procedure. Since it’s hard for me to breathe when I’m on my back, I appreciated his genuine concern. He answered any questions I had and did a fine job.

  I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Vogel and his entire team. From the moment you walk in, everyone is so warm, attentive, and genuinely willing to help. There is such a sense of calm and kindness in the office that immediately puts you at ease, something I have rarely experienced at a dental visit. Dr. Vogel is incredibly nice and reassuring. He takes the time to explain everything, checks in constantly to make sure you are comfortable, and you can truly feel how much he cares about his patients. I have always struggled to find a dentist I could trust, and after visiting Dr. Vogel, I finally feel like I have found one. If you are looking for a dentist who combines professionalism with genuine compassion, I could not recommend Dr. Vogel and his team more highly.
