Periodontics
Our periodontal service is designed to treat and prevent diseases of the gums and tissues that surround and support the teeth. At our clinic, we understand that periodontal health is critical to maintaining a healthy smile and avoiding serious complications that can affect not only your teeth, but also your overall health.
What is periodontics?
Periodontics is a dental specialty dedicated to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases that affect the gums (gingivitis) and the bone tissue that supports the teeth (periodontitis). These conditions may go unnoticed in their early stages, but if left untreated, they can lead to tooth loss and permanently affect oral health.
What do we treat?
In our periodontics service, we address a wide range of problems related to the gums and periodontal tissues:
Gingivitis: inflammation of the gums caused by bacterial plaque buildup. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis.
Periodontitis: A more serious infection that affects not only the gums, but also the bone supporting the teeth. Over time, it can lead to tooth loss if not properly controlled.
Gingival recession: When the gums recede, exposing part of the tooth root, which can cause tooth sensitivity and increase the risk of tooth decay.
Periodontal abscesses: Localized infections that can cause pain, swelling and bone loss if not treated in time.
Periodontal surgeries: Corrective procedures that may include gum grafts, tissue regeneration or remodeling of bone affected by periodontal disease.
Warning signs
It is essential to pay attention to signs that may indicate a periodontal problem:
Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing.
Swollen, red or tender gums.
Recession of the gums, which makes the teeth appear longer.
Persistent bad breath (halitosis).
Tooth mobility or changes in the position of the teeth.
Pain or discomfort in the gums or teeth.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to have a periodontal check-up to prevent more serious complications.
Treatments we offer
Our team of periodontal specialists work with the latest technology and advanced techniques to provide effective and comfortable treatments:
Deep periodontal cleaning (scaling and root planing): This procedure removes plaque and tartar accumulated below the gum line, helping to control infection and preventing the progression of periodontitis.
Periodontal surgery: In more advanced cases, it may be necessary to perform surgery to reduce periodontal pockets, regenerate lost bone or cover exposed roots with gum grafts.
Periodontal maintenance: After initial treatment, regular follow-up is essential to prevent relapses and maintain healthy gums in the long term.
Tissue regeneration: Using advanced techniques, we can regenerate bone and tissues that have been lost due to periodontitis, improving dental support.
Gum grafts: We treat gingival recession with grafts that help cover exposed roots and protect teeth from damage.
Benefits of periodontal treatment
Prevention of tooth loss: Early treatment can save your teeth and prevent complications that lead to tooth loss.
Improved overall health: Periodontal disease is linked to conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and pregnancy complications. Maintaining healthy gums can contribute to improving your overall health.
Elimination of bad breath: Periodontitis is one of the main causes of chronic bad breath, and its treatment can significantly improve this problem.
Better aesthetics and functionality: Healthy gums not only improve the appearance of your smile, but also contribute to the stability and functionality of your teeth.
