Gum disease treatment

Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection affecting the supporting structures of the teeth — gingival tissue, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. If left untreated, progressive bone loss leads to tooth mobility and eventual tooth loss. Periodontal disease is also associated with systemic conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Treatment is tailored to the severity and extent of disease. Mild to moderate cases are managed with thorough scaling and root planing. More advanced disease involving significant pocket depths or bone defects is treated using the Fotona dual-wavelength laser system, which allows bacterial decontamination and tissue biomodulation beyond what conventional instrumentation achieves.

All periodontal treatment is followed by a structured maintenance protocol to monitor clinical stability and prevent recurrence.
