Periodontal restorations
Periodontitis (commonly known as periodontal disease) is one of the most common diseases worldwide. Systematic periodontal rehabilitation or periodontitis treatment is therefore one of the most important pillars of modern dentistry. We have several decades of experience in periodontology and specialize in the restoration and treatment of periodontal dental diseases, among other things.
Good to know
The consequences of untreated periodontitis include bleeding gums, receding gums, bone loss, exposed tooth necks, tooth loosening, tooth migration, unattractive tooth aesthetics, bad breath (halithosis) and, if it progresses further, tooth loss. The earlier periodontitis is diagnosed and then treated consistently and correctly, the better it is for your dental health, your long-term tooth preservation and your general health.
How does treatment work?
Modern and scientifically based periodontitis treatment focuses on treatment measures for long-term tooth preservation: periodontal findings, professional tooth cleaning, removal of bacterial plaque = biofilm, deep scaling, root planning, open or closed curettage, ozone therapy, photodynamic therapy PDT, laser, laser applications, use of local or systemic antibiotics, antibacterial mouth rinses, full-mouth therapy or full-mouth disinfection, etc. Systematic care (recall, check-ups and regular professional tooth cleaning) is essential for long-term treatment success. Systematic care (recall), check-ups and regular professional dental cleanings by our highly qualified prophylaxis assistants are essential for the long-term success of treatment. Your good cooperation is therefore important for the success of the treatment. However, if the periodontal disease (periodontitis) is already too advanced, it is often better to remove the affected, infected, inflamed teeth in order to avoid further damage to your health. Missing teeth can then be replaced with implants, for example.
Summarized
Aesthetic aspects are becoming increasingly important in modern periodontology. Modern treatment methods can correct the esthetic losses caused by years of periodontitis. These include, for example
- Gum corrections / recession coverings / plastic periodontal surgery;
- Invisible, transparent braces for correcting misaligned teeth (Invisalign method);
- Tooth widening with composites;
- Veneers, ceramic veneers, composite veneers;
- Bone formation, enamel matrix proteins for the regeneration of the periodontium;
- Stabilization by splinting for very loose teeth;
- Implants, implant-supported dentures;
- and much more.
The aim of periodontitis treatment and the overall concept is to eliminate the bacterial infection and thus preserve the teeth and achieve the most stable, inflammation-free periodontal situation possible and, if necessary, replace lost teeth and restore a firm bite. With additional aesthetic corrections, we can maintain or (re)create your confident, pleasant and beautiful smile.
