Periodontics Treatments for Healthy Gums
At Junyent Estudi Dental, we diagnose periodontal disease using an electronic probe, 3D radiography, and bacterial analysis, accurately determining pocket depth and bone level. With this information, we establish a personalized plan that may include scaling and root planing, diode laser treatment, and localized antibiotic therapy, all performed under local anesthesia and without discomfort.
After the active phase, we design a periodontal maintenance program with specific cleanings every three or six months and digital gum monitoring. This way, we prevent the appearance of new infections, consolidate tissue regeneration, and ensure that your natural teeth remain firm and functional long-term without the need for further intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions about Periodontics
What is periodontics?
Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, which affect the gums and supporting tissues of the teeth.
What are the symptoms of periodontal disease?
Symptoms may include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, tooth sensitivity, and tooth mobility.
- Among these are dental fillings or restorations, which are used to restore teeth affected by cavities, removing the damaged part and filling the space with materials that mimic the appearance of the original tooth.
- Root canal treatments or endodontics are another common intervention, especially when infection affects the tooth pulp, allowing the tooth to be saved instead of extracted.
- Additionally, regular dental cleanings, performed to remove accumulated plaque and tartar, are fundamental for maintaining gum and tooth health, preventing periodontal diseases.
- Finally, dental sealants, a protective layer applied to posterior teeth, help prevent the appearance of cavities by sealing grooves and fissures where food debris and bacteria can accumulate.
All these procedures aim to preserve the integrity of the teeth and maintain a healthy and functional smile.
What causes periodontal diseases?
Periodontal diseases are generally caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque on the teeth and gums. Factors such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetics, and underlying health problems can also contribute.
Fillings are needed when a cavity is detected, usually in its initial stages, where it has not yet deeply affected the tooth. If the cavity is detected early, the treatment consists of removing the affected part and filling the space with the appropriate material, preventing the cavity from growing and avoiding the need for more invasive treatments such as root canals. They are also necessary when a tooth shows wear or minor fractures, in order to restore its structure and functionality. Fillings are essential for maintaining dental health and preventing major complications, such as infections or tooth loss.
How is gingivitis treated?
Gingivitis, the mildest form of periodontal disease, is generally treated by improving oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings at the dental clinic.
Root canal treatment involves removing the diseased pulp from the tooth, followed by cleaning and disinfecting the root canal (the channel containing the pulp). Once the canal is clean and free of infection, it is filled with a biocompatible material that seals the canal to prevent future infections. Finally, the tooth is restored with a filling or a crown to ensure its functionality and protect it from possible additional damage.
This treatment is essential for saving teeth that would otherwise have to be extracted due to severe infections or pulp damage. Although the process may seem intimidating, it is a common and effective technique that allows the original tooth to be preserved and avoids the need for prosthetics or implants.
What is the treatment for advanced periodontitis?
Advanced periodontitis requires more intensive treatment, which may include scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery, and in some cases, tissue grafts.
