Periodontology - Nowy Sącz

Paradontosis is just one of the many issues we deal with at our dental centre.

Each periodontist specializes in diseases of the periodontium and oral mucosa.

Periodontium consists of root cementum, gingiva, alveolar bone, periosteum, periodontium and periosteum. Their common task is to seat, immobilize and protect the tooth in the socket. The course of periodontal treatment depends on the patient’s health condition and diagnosis. Check out what procedures we carry out in this field at our dental centre in Nowy Sącz!

Why is it worth it to take advantage of periodontal treatments at the Smile Gallery?

Bleeding gums, tooth hypersensitivity, dry mouth, bad mouth odor or loose teeth cause great discomfort.

Inflammation in the periodontium or other areas of the oral cavity can lead to serious complications. The principle “prevention is better than treatment!” has a lot to do with periodontics. Most of the diseases that this field deals with result from poor oral hygiene. Dentists affiliated with Nowy Sącz Smile Gallery, whose specialization is periodontology, are unsurpassed experts in the prophylaxis principles.

Modern diagnostics

Our facility has top-of-the-range equipment and the equipment is operated by knowledgeable and experienced professionals. Periodontists at the Smile Gallery can quickly consult with specialists from other disciplines to work together on developing an individual treatment plan that works best for the patient.

Comprehensive treatment

Recognising the problem and treating it symptomatically is extremely important, but it is equally important to counteract the causes. Periodontal and oral symptoms may be caused by other diseases for which periodontal treatment is not sufficient. If other methods are required, you will receive all the information and appropriate referrals for tests at the appropriate facilities.

Professional patient care

The priority of the Smile Gallery in Nowy Sącz is the welfare of all patients. We meticulously follow all procedures and ensure that safety is maintained. During procedures in the field of periodontology, we use the highest quality instruments and medical materials.

Periodontology - indications for treatment. Don't delay scheduling an appointment with the doctor!

Gingivitis and periodontitis most often result from insufficient oral hygiene. Susceptibility to periodontal diseases also depends on individual genetic conditions and anatomical defects. The build-up of tartar is a breeding ground for bacteria that can lead to the loss of the retaining apparatus. Periodontitis and other diseases of the periodontium and oral mucosa manifest in a similar way.

See your periodontist immediately if you observe any of the following:

  • gum problems – bleeding, swelling, redness;
  • exposed tooth necks;
  • elongated tooth crowns;
  • bad breath;
  • increased sensitivity to temperature changes;
  • instability of the dentition – loosening, displacement, tooth loss.

Periodontal symptoms of other diseases and conditions

A visit to the periodontist in Nowy Sącz can be crucial for the early diagnosis of serious health problems. Changes in the periodontium and mucosa of the oral cavity may be the result of a decrease in the body’s immunity or the result of a disease. Therefore, pay particular attention to:
  • changes within:
    • tongue;
    • the floor of the mouth;
    • cheeks;
    • lips;
    • intra-oral bacterial, fungal and viral infections.

Periodontology - treatment. Periodontal treatments

Your first consultation with a periodontist in Nowy Sącz will be aimed at precise diagnosis and preparation of an optimal treatment plan. The initial part of therapy usually includes hygienic activities. The next stages are corrective and maintaining actions. Sometimes dental surgery treatments are also necessary.

Supragingival scaling

Removal of tartar from the surface of the tooth crown is carried out using scaler ultrasound. Subsequent polishing and fluoridation of the tooth slows down the build-up of bacterial plaque on the cleaned teeth.

Subgingival scaling

This type of scaling is removal of tartar from subgingival parts of the dentition. To carry out this hygienisation procedure, we use both scalers and manual curettes. The periodontist also deals with smoothing the tooth root surface and fluoridation.

Open curettage

This is the best way to get rid of inflammation and stop the disease from progressing. It requires exposing the teeth roots by cutting through the gingival tissue. We perform the surgical procedure in patients with deepened periodontal pockets.

Photodynamic therapy

Specialists in the field of periodontology also perform safe procedures using red light. The photosensitizer binds to bacteria, fungi and viruses in the oral cavity, and when activated with the FotoSan lamp, it destroys harmful microorganisms. Photodynamic therapy is completely painless and does not cause any side effects.

VECTOR system treatment

It is also worth mentioning the non-invasive bacteria removal method, tartar and deposits from the teeth and oral tissues. It also stimulates the formation of new, strong attachments between the gums and the roots of the teeth. The treatment with the VECTOR system lasts 60-90 minutes, but the doctor should be visited after some time. After 4-6 weeks, the patient should undergo a follow-up examination. The next stages of treatment will be aimed at removing the effects of diseases, e.g. by surgical reconstruction of damaged periodontium.

Surgical crown lengthening

This is a method of treating teeth with severely damaged structure below the gum line. Patients in whom a prosthetic restoration or artificial crown is not possible are eligible for the procedure. Surgical lengthening of the natural tooth crown will allow for further prosthetic treatment and reduce the risk of gum damage.

Gingivoplasty

Gingivectomy is restoring natural, healthy appearance and shape of overgrown gum.

Regenerative treatments

One of the tasks of periodontology is also the reconstruction of bone defects. In regenerative treatments, we use materials of the highest quality (e.g. Biooss, Emdogain), which eliminate deep pockets in the bone structure. This improves the stability of the teeth and reduces the risk of infection.

Recommendations post periodontal surgery

For periodontal treatment to have a lasting effect, you must follow the our specialists’ advice. Take care of your oral hygiene, use prescribed medications, and sign up for regular check-ups and cleaning of your teeth from plaque and tartar by returning to our dental centre. If necessary, the periodontist will order laser therapy treatments.
