Periodontology – What Is It and How Can It Help You?
Periodontology is a specialty that focuses on the health of the supporting structures of the teeth, known as the periodontium (gums, periodontal ligament, root cementum, and alveolar bone). It involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal diseases, ranging from gingivitis to periodontitis (superficial and advanced periodontal disease) and peri-implantitis.
What Is Periodontal Disease and How Does It Manifest?
Periodontitis (commonly known as periodontal disease) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by the progressive destruction of the tooth-supporting structures. This leads to gum recession, formation of periodontal pockets, and alveolar bone loss. If left untreated, it can result in tooth loss.
Symptoms of Periodontitis You Should Be Aware Of
Periodontal disease develops gradually, progressing through several stages, from gum inflammation to the destruction of gum tissue and the supporting bone. The earlier it is detected, the simpler and more effective the treatment will be. Symptoms may vary, but the main clinical signs to watch for include:
Symptoms of Periodontitis You Should Be Aware Of
A periodontology specialist is the expert who can accurately diagnose and treat periodontitis. They will conduct a detailed clinical examination, perform a periodontal assessment, take X-rays, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
How Do You Know If You Have Cavities?
The treatment for periodontitis is personalized for each patient, depending on the severity of the disease and the chosen treatment method. Essentially, there are two main types of treatment: non-surgical and surgical.
Non-surgical treatment, which includes removing tartar and bacterial plaque, as well as educating the patient on proper oral hygiene, is usually sufficient in the early stages of the disease.
In more advanced stages, when the damage to gum and bone tissue is significant, surgical treatment may be necessary. This can include closed-field subgingival curettage, bone or gum regeneration, or even extraction of the affected tooth and its replacement with a dental implant.

Prices for Periodontitis Treatment – What You Need to Know
The costs of periodontal treatment can vary significantly, depending on several factors, including the technology used and the complexity of the case. If periodontal disease is in an advanced stage, multiple treatment sessions and additional procedures may be required, which can increase costs.
It is important to discuss with a periodontology specialist to get an accurate cost estimate and find out what payment options are available.

How Do We Determine the Cost of a Periodontal Treatment?
The cost of periodontal treatment is established after an initial evaluation, based on the stage of periodontitis and the necessary treatment methods to restore gum health. Check our price list to learn more about the cost of periodontal services at Smile Vision!

Preventing and Caring for Gums After Treatment
Preventing and maintaining gum health after periodontal treatment is essential to avoiding the recurrence of periodontitis.
Tips for Maintaining Gum Health
Brush your teeth at least twice a day for at least 2 minutes!
Use dental floss daily to carefully clean interdental spaces!
If you smoke, quit!
Schedule regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings!
How to prevent periodontitis recurrence?
Avoiding periodontitis recurrence is essential for long-term oral health. The key lies in adopting rigorous oral hygiene and following the periodontologist’s recommendations for gum care.
What Does a Complete Periodontal Treatment Involve?
A complete periodontal treatment includes professional cleaning, anti-inflammatory treatments, and, in advanced cases, laser or surgical procedures to eliminate infections and regenerate gum tissue. The first step is a detailed clinical examination, which involves measuring the depth of periodontal pockets and taking X-rays. This is necessary to assess the degree of damage and establish a personalized treatment plan.
How Effective Is Laser Treatment for Periodontitis?
Laser treatment is highly effective in eliminating bacteria and reducing inflammation, providing fast and long-lasting results.
How often should I visit a periodontologist?
The frequency of visits to a periodontologist varies depending on each individual case.
What Are the Risks of Untreated Periodontitis?
Untreated periodontitis can lead to tooth loss and may increase the risk of systemic complications, including heart disease and diabetes.
How Long Does Advanced Periodontitis Treatment Take?
The duration of treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case, but modern procedures, such as laser treatments, can significantly reduce recovery time.

Causes and Risk Factors for Advanced Periodontal Disease
Why Can Gum Inflammation Become Dangerous?
At first, gum inflammation may seem harmless, but if ignored and left untreated, it can lead to the destruction of the tissues that support the teeth, ultimately causing tooth loss.
Additionally, the bacteria responsible for inflammation can enter the bloodstream and reach different parts of the body, triggering various health complications. Periodontitis has been linked to conditions such as respiratory and digestive diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and coronary disease, as well as pregnancy complications, including premature birth or low birth weight.
STEPS
Procedures We Use in Periodontal Treatment
Aplicarea fațetelor dentare implică mai multe etape ce, de regulă, pot fi parcurse în 1-2 ședințe. Etapele principale sunt:
01
Evaluation and Optimization of Oral Hygiene
The first step involves assessing periodontal status, motivating the patient, optimizing and personalizing oral hygiene techniques, along with controlling risk factors (smoking, diet, certain systemic conditions such as diabetes). This process is accompanied by the removal of potential retention factors (incorrectly adapted fillings or prosthetic restorations) and the elimination of supra- and subgingival tartar.
02
Entering Maintenance Therapy
The patient will enter maintenance therapy, where the progression of the disease will be systematically and periodically monitored, ensuring the stabilization and healing of the periodontium.
03

04
Periodic Visits and Progress Records
During each dental visit in the treatment of periodontal disease, we monitor changes in oral health to continuously assess the healing process. Alongside records documenting disease progression, there will also be photographs showing the initial condition, treatment progress, and final outcome.
05
Permanent Access to Medical History
Thanks to advancements in digital dentistry, we can accurately provide access to your medical history at any time.

How Does Laser Treatment for Periodontitis Work?
Laser treatment for periodontitis involves using a specialized dental laser that emits a focused beam of light energy. This laser precisely targets infected areas of the gums, vaporizing infected tissue and bacteria without harming the surrounding healthy tissue
Not only does the laser eliminate infected tissue, but it also seals blood vessels and nerve endings, thereby reducing bleeding and discomfort during and after the procedure. Additionally, the laser stimulates the regeneration of gum tissue, helping to minimize pain and speed up recovery time.

Why Choose Us?
We believe periodontal treatments should be tailored to each patient individually. That’s why we analyze every case thoroughly, identifying the specific bacteria present in periodontal disease and applying the appropriate treatment. Not all bacteria respond to the same therapy, so the applied treatment must be specific.
To optimize treatment and ensure a smooth experience in our clinic, we have developed and maintain a systematic step-by-step program for treating periodontal disease. We start with specialized tests for periodontitis detection, performed in Germany, continue with the creation of a personalized treatment plan, and track parameters over time through regular check-ups and analyses.
