Periodontist in Palma de Mallorca

Periodontics is a dental specialty that we offer as dentists in Palma de Mallorca. It focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the structures supporting the teeth. This includes the gums, the periodontium (the tissues that support the tooth), and the alveolar bone (which houses and supports the teeth in the sockets).

Periodontal treatments are carried out with the goal of preventing or curing conditions such as gum recession, bone loss, and preventing tooth loss. Additionally, they focus on the removal of dental plaque and the prevention of gum bleeding.

Periodontics covers treatments for a range of diseases, from mild conditions like gingivitis to more severe ones like periodontitis.

Periodontics offers different treatments tailored to the severity and type of periodontal disease. These treatments include:

Non-surgical periodontal treatments: They control and halt the progression of the disease without surgery. These include deep cleaning, scaling and root planing, and plaque control therapies.

Surgical periodontal treatments: Performed in more advanced cases and involve surgical interventions such as pocket reduction surgery, tissue grafts, or bone augmentation.

Periodontal plastic surgery: Improves the aesthetics of the gums and soft tissues, correcting issues such as gum recession or asymmetry.

Regenerative procedures: Restore lost tissues, both soft and hard, using techniques like guided bone regeneration, grafts, and growth factors.

Although most dental treatments primarily aim to improve aesthetics, periodontics focuses mainly on reducing both aesthetic and health-related issues.
