Periodontitis is a bacterial inflammation of the tissues that support the teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to a progressive loss of the tissue and bone around the tooth.
As the disease progresses, the inflammation can spread deeper. Receding gums and jawbone can make the teeth appear longer, become more sensitive or lose their hold. Left untreated, the disease can eventually lead to tooth loss.
Individual diagnosis and comprehensive therapy
Successful periodontitis treatment begins with a thorough examination and an individual risk assessment. We look not only at the condition of your teeth and gums, but also take your general health into account.
Among other things, therapy includes the targeted removal of bacterial plaque and deposits as well as professional cleaning and treatment of the affected gum pockets. Depending on how advanced the disease is, we develop a treatment plan tailored to you together.
General health factors can also influence how periodontitis develops and progresses. Where indicated, close cooperation with your GP or other treating specialists can therefore be useful.
Periodontitis can be treated
Many people do not know they have periodontitis, because in its early stages in particular it often causes few symptoms. Others assume that progressive tooth loss is inevitable.
It does not have to be: early diagnosis and consistent treatment can help to keep the disease under control in the long term and to support the preservation of your natural teeth.
We inform you in detail about your personal periodontitis risk, explain the different treatment options and continue to support you after active therapy.
Our goal is stable oral health over the long term – with an individual treatment plan and regular supportive aftercare.
