Periodontology
The gums and bone that support the teeth are just as important as the teeth themselves. Periodontology cares for their health — preventing and treating problems before they become serious.
Periodontitis is one of the most common causes of tooth loss in adults — and it often progresses silently, without pain in the early stages.
With regular check-ups and timely intervention, we can stop its progression and keep your natural teeth for many more years.
A regular periodontal check-up catches problems early, when treatment is simpler and more effective.
Signs to watch
Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing — often the first sign.
Gums that are red, swollen or tender to the touch.
A persistent unpleasant smell or taste that does not go away.
Teeth that "look longer" or sensitivity at the roots.
Teeth you feel moving or shifting.
Increased sensitivity to cold or heat near the gum line.
Our approach
Detailed examination of the gums, pocket measurement and evaluation of the condition.
Cleaning and removal of bacterial plaque, aiming for tissue healing.
A regular monitoring programme to keep the gums healthy long term.
Before implants
Healthy gums and bone are a precondition for a successful implant. Often, periodontal treatment is the first step before any restoration.
