Specialized Periodontics Dentists at Dental Lesseps

What is periodontal disease?

Periodontal disease is a condition caused by the buildup of bacterial plaque on the teeth. If not treated in time, it can affect not only the gums but also the bone that supports the teeth, being one of the main causes of dental loss in adults.

Initially, this disease can go unnoticed due to the absence of pain or obvious discomfort. For this reason, it is crucial to visit the dentist when detecting any symptoms related to the gums.

Symptoms of Periodontal Diseases

Detecting the signs of a possible periodontal disease in time is essential to prevent complications. Some of the most common symptoms include:
  • Gum bleeding: It is the most frequent initial sign, especially when brushing your teeth or spontaneously. Healthy gums should not bleed.
  • Spacing between teeth: There may be mobility or displacement of the teeth.
  • Gum recession: This can expose the dental roots, causing sensitivity
  • Persistent bad breath: Bacteria produce sulfurous gases responsible for bad odor.
  • Swelling or discomfort: These symptoms indicate an advanced periodontal disease that may require surgical or regenerative treatments.

01. Gum Graft

Gum grafting involves covering exposed dental roots using the patient’s own tissue. This treatment not only prevents future dental mobility problems but also improves the aesthetics of the smile.

02. Gingivitis and Periodontitis

Both are pathologies derived from the buildup of bacterial plaque. While gingivitis affects only the gums, if not treated in time, it can evolve into periodontitis, compromising the bone that supports the teeth.

03. Bone Regeneration

Using advanced techniques, we replenish lost bone tissue, restoring the structure and functionality of the mouth.

04. Crown Lengthening

Ideal for patients with short teeth, this technique involves a gingivectomy that exposes more of the tooth surface, improving both functionality and dental aesthetics.
