Periodontics in Fuengirola

Periodontics focuses on the treatment of diseases that affect the gums and supporting tissues of the teeth. The most common periodontal diseases are gingivitis and periodontitis, commonly pyorrhea. Gingivitis is the mildest form and is characterized by inflammation of the gums without affecting the bone; It is completely reversible with good oral care. On the other hand, periodontitis is more severe as it involves the loss of bone around the teeth, and if not treated properly, can lead to tooth loss. Another related problem is peri-implantitis, which affects the tissues around dental implants.

Our periodontal treatments include:

Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing): This treatment removes tartar and plaque under the gum line, helping to stop the progression of periodontal disease.
Periodontal Surgery: For more advanced cases, we perform surgery to restore gum health, which may include recontouring the gums and bone to facilitate tooth cleaning and improve the aesthetics of the smile.
Gum Grafts: When the gums have receded significantly, grafts help cover the exposed roots of the teeth, protecting them from cavities and reducing sensitivity.
