Our clinic is led by Dr. Cicero, one of the world’s leading experts in the field of periodontology and implant dentistry. His day-to-day practice focuses on saving compromised tissues and teeth and rehabilitating the arch to its original aesthetic and mechanical functions using cutting-edge procedures.

Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and even impact your overall health. Recognizing the signs and seeking early treatment is crucial for preventing severe damage.
Luckily, these consequences can be prevented by making an appointment with an expert periodontist.<\/p>\n
There are two different methods to remove plaque and calculus that cannot be removed by brushing, flossing or with a regular home cleaning.
While a simple cleaning procedure focuses on the surfaces of the teeth and between teeth above the gum line, deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, removes bacteria, calculus (tartar), and debris that has been collected under the gum line.<\/p>\n
If the cleaning and the deep cleaning treatment are not enough to get rid of the gum infection, gingival flap surgery may be an option. With this procedure, the gums are separated from the teeth and folded back temporarily. This allows the dentist to get a better view of the root of the tooth and of the bone, and they can remove the infected tissues through a deep cleaning of the newly exposed structures.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve been diagnosed with bone damage, your dentist might suggest osseous surgery.
This is a procedure that is done in order to remove the damaged bone around the tooth, and it follows a procedure of open flap debridement. Getting rid of the damaged bone promotes better reattachment and healing of the gum tissues. Depending on the severity of the bone loss, the dentist might also perform a bone graft or guided tissue regeneration before reattaching the gum tissue.<\/p>\n
The aim of subepithelial microbial therapy is to eradicate the pathogens associated with periodontal disease that cannot be reached by mechanical therapy in order to promote healing. This can be sometimes completely achieved only by a combination of non-surgical, surgical, and antimicrobial therapy.<\/p>\n
Another possible treatment option for periodontal disease is to use laser to remove the inflamed gum tissue from around the root of the tooth. Using laser for excising diseased gum tissue does not need a general anesthetic, and it can target the diseased areas precisely and accurately. Bleeding, pain, and swelling are limited because periodontal laser therapy is less invasive than regular surgery, and as a consequence, recovery and healing times are shorter.<\/p>\n
