Periodontists specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum diseases and the placement of dental implants. They manage gingivitis, periodontitis, gum recession, and bone loss around teeth using scaling, root planing, gum grafting, and regenerative procedures.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You need to get root canal treatment for the upper and lower central teeth and then place a fixed partial denture (FPD ceramic crowns) on them to close the space. This will give a permanent so…
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Please be careful. It is nothing but inflammatory gingival enlargement (in front also, but localized) due to either any preoperative trauma or any injury in the p…
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. The temporary should never have been placed along with the placement of the implant. The implant space should have been closed using sutures and waited for fo…
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. It is better to get a gum graft now (gingival graft). Also, it will be better if you get a mouthguard for bruxism and wear it permanently, except while eating. I hope it helps. Thank you.…
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. There is bone loss, and it can be due to the failed implant (attachment removed to protect patient identity). If one failed, there was always a very high chance o…
A periodontist treats gingivitis, chronic and aggressive periodontitis, gum recession, bone loss around teeth, peri-implantitis, and gum-related cosmetic concerns. They also place dental implants and perform gum and bone grafting procedures.
See a periodontist if you have bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession exposing tooth roots, loose teeth, deep gum pockets detected by your dentist, or if you need dental implant placement.
Gingivitis is early-stage gum inflammation that is reversible with proper oral hygiene. Periodontitis is advanced gum disease where inflammation has damaged the bone supporting the teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss if untreated.
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure where the periodontist removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces. This helps gums reattach to the teeth and reduces pocket depth.
Yes, gum disease can be prevented with regular brushing and flossing, professional dental cleanings every six months, avoiding tobacco products, managing diabetes, eating a balanced diet, and addressing teeth grinding or clenching.
