How we work

How your gums settle down.

A clear procedure in several steps. You will know how many appointments you need after the first examination.

01

Measure and understand

We measure the gum pockets, check the bone with digital X-rays and show you where the inflammation sits.

02

Clean thoroughly

The gum pockets are cleaned gently and thoroughly, under local anaesthetic if you wish. That way the gum can reattach.

03

Care at home

You receive personal guidance for cleaning between your teeth. It carries the success of the treatment.

04

Measure again and maintain

After a few weeks we measure again. After that, regular dental hygiene keeps the result stable.

Good to know

Clarity before you decide.

What people ask us about periodontitis.

01How do I recognise periodontitis?⌄
Common signs are bleeding gums, receding gums, bad breath and, later on, loose teeth. Pain is often absent for a long time. Measuring the gum pockets at the practice gives certainty.
02Gum disease, periodontosis, periodontitis: is it the same thing?⌄
In everyday language, yes. Many people say gum disease or periodontosis, the medical term is periodontitis: an inflammation that attacks the gums and the bone around the tooth. We treat the cause, that is, the inflammation.
03Does the treatment hurt?⌄
The gum pockets are cleaned gently and, if you wish, under local anaesthetic. Afterwards your gums may be sensitive for a day or two.
04Can periodontitis be cured?⌄
The inflammation can be stopped, and the gums settle down. Lost bone usually does not come back by itself. That is why an early start pays off, and why regular dental hygiene maintains the result.
