Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong smile. Stop the inflammation before periodontitis takes your teeth.
Periodontal treatment is aimed at treating diseases of the gums and tissues surrounding the teeth. It mainly treats inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and periodontitis, which causes bone loss and loosening of the teeth. During treatment, bacteria and plaque are removed from the surface of the teeth and tooth roots, thereby stopping inflammation and preventing further damage to the dental supporting apparatus.
The dentist (or dental hygienist) will first examine the condition of your gums, measure the depth of the periodontal pockets, and take X-rays to determine the extent of damage to the bone and the supporting apparatus.
He will then perform a non-invasive deep cleaning of the teeth and roots below the gums – called curettage. If necessary, he will also use ultrasonic instruments.
After the cleaning, you will receive instruction on the correct technique for cleaning your teeth and interdental spaces. Home hygiene is key to the success of the treatment.
A few weeks after treatment, you will come back for a check-up to see if your gums are improving. If the inflammation is still present, our dentist may recommend surgical treatment – such as open curettage or regenerative procedures.
To maintain long-term gum health and prevent the disease from returning, it is necessary to continue regular dental hygiene and check-ups every 3 to 6 months.
Restore your gum health, stop bone loss, and ensure long-term stability of your teeth. Early treatment significantly increases your chance of keeping your own teeth. Book an appointment as soon as possible.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the supporting structures of the teeth (gums and bone) that can lead to loosening and loss of teeth. It most often occurs as a result of untreated plaque and tartar.
Typical symptoms include bleeding gums, bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, and the feeling of “longer teeth.” In the early stages, it may be painless.
No. During a routine cleaning or curettage, the patient does not feel pain. More complex procedures are performed under local anesthesia.
Gingivitis treatment is a gradual process, from initial cleaning to regular check-ups. It depends on the severity of the disease, the patient’s cooperation, and the body’s response to treatment. Sometimes it takes several months.
Yes, in many cases, loose teeth can be stabilized by removing the inflammation. In advanced stages, surgical intervention or dental replacement may be necessary.
Yes, if the patient does not maintain proper hygiene and does not attend regular check-ups, periodontitis can re-develop. Regular dental hygiene and maintenance care are therefore key.
Basic procedures (e.g. preventive examination, X-ray, consultation) are covered by the insurance company, but specialized periodontal treatments and professional hygiene are subject to a fee.
