Periodontology

Healthy gums often go hand in hand with healthy teeth. However, contrary to appearances, periodontal diseases – that is, conditions affecting the tissues surrounding the teeth, including gums – occur just as frequently as tooth decay.

In such cases, a specialized branch of dentistry known as periodontology comes to the rescue. Treating periodontal tissues is essential for maintaining their health and functionality. Increasingly, aesthetic procedures on the gums are also gaining popularity – because visual appearance can be just as important as the absence of pain or discomfort.

Aesthetic gum procedures

Surgical crown lengthening is a less common yet important procedure, often recommended for patients preparing for prosthetic treatments, veneers, crowns, bridges, or implant-supported restorations.

After planning the desired gum line using the Digital Smile Design method, minimally invasive surgical correction is performed – promoting quick healing.

Osteogingivectomy is especially recommended for patients with a “gummy smile,” where an excessive amount of gum tissue covers the crowns, making teeth appear short. This can also contribute to gum dryness and inflammation.

During this procedure, the balance between gum and tooth proportions is restored. It’s also beneficial for treating other inflammatory conditions and congenital defects.

Gum recession coverage is advised for patients with exposed tooth necks – a common symptom of progressing periodontitis. This procedure involves grafting tissue (usually from the palate) or using biomaterials.

A key procedure is the formation of natural-looking gingiva around implants (emergence profile) and bridges. Gum deformations often occur during implant placement and can impact the final aesthetic outcome.

However, this procedure also has a protective role – it prevents bacteria from penetrating deeper tissues, reducing inflammation and implant failure risk.

Periodontal diseases

Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of periodontal diseases are crucial to avoid serious consequences like tooth loss.

What might seem like minor symptoms – gum tenderness or slight bleeding while brushing – can be early warning signs.

Even mild gum and mucosal inflammation requires the attention of a periodontist. Regular hygiene visits help slow disease progression and allow for the implementation of personalized therapies.

Proper control and professional periodontal treatment are the foundation of long-term oral health and patient comfort.

Cyclic check-ups are especially important for patients at higher risk of inflammation – for example, smokers.

White and pink aesthetics – why does it matter?

Teeth aren’t just for chewing. Dental aesthetics play a key role in a person’s appearance. In addition to healthy white teeth, the proportions between teeth and gums are crucial.

When correcting any defects, it’s important to choose grafted tissues and biomaterials that blend well with the natural gum tissue.

Periodontal consultation

Maintaining a healthy oral environment is key to overall stomatognathic system health. Moreover, gum condition can affect general health.

It’s worth seeing a specialist who, through advanced diagnostics, can verify potential issues – and if needed, initiate effective treatment. All in the name of a beautiful and healthy smile for years to come.
