Gum care
Effective treatments to prevent or treat periodontal disease, protect the supporting bone and preserve the long-term health of your teeth.
1. Surfacing and deep cleaning
Periodontal treatment is our ally in caring for your gums in depth.
When tartar creeps under the gums, simple cleaning is no longer enough. Surfacing and curettage gently remove tartar and bacteria hidden beneath the gums. Performed under local anaesthetic, these treatments are comfortable and essential for stopping gum inflammation and bleeding. The result? Healthier, less sensitive gums, and a stronger smile.
iDental Studio tip: Did you know that after surfacing, it’s normal to feel a slight temporary sensitivity? Don’t worry: it’s a sign that your teeth are breathing again! With the right care, you’ll be back on track in no time.
2. Gum grafting
Gum grafting is the gentle solution for strengthening and protecting exposed teeth. When gums recede, they expose the roots of teeth, which can lead to sensitivity and fragility. Grafting covers these sensitive areas with gum tissue, usually taken from the palate, restoring health, comfort and aesthetics to the smile. Performed under local anaesthetic, grafting is a precise, safe and long-lasting treatment that protects your teeth over the long term.
iDental Studio tip: Did you know that if you experience sensitivity in the dental neck, a gum graft can be more effective and long-lasting than a simple composite? Strengthening your tissues naturally is often the best solution for a healthy, protected smile.
