Periodontics in Milan: When an expert dentist can improve patients' quality of life
Consulting an expert periodontist in Milan can make all the difference: periodontitis and gingivitis, if not treated properly, can lead to a series of more serious problems. For this reason, our periodontists stay constantly updated on new research and technologies, specializing in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of periodontal disease.
These are debilitating diseases that affect the tissues that support and surround the teeth. Therefore, our specialists’ primary goal is to maintain patients’ periodontal health by helping to keep their teeth, even if unhealthy, functional for a longer period of time.
It is clear, therefore, that periodontology plays a crucial role in preserving oral health and, consequently, in improving the quality of life of each patient.
The different approaches to periodontal treatments in our Milan practice
Non-surgical treatment of periodontal disease
One of the first steps taken by our periodontists in Milan to treat periodontal disease is non-surgical treatment. This often begins with a professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, while also providing instructions on proper oral hygiene to prevent further buildup.
Furthermore, these procedures can be supported by the use of specific mouthwashes and/or antibiotic therapy.
Treatment of periodontal pockets
Deep periodontal pockets can be treated with nonsurgical and surgical procedures. Surgical procedures allow direct access to the interdental spaces for deep cleaning and tartar removal.
Procedures are then applied to regenerate the bone defect. A proper approach, led by an experienced periodontist, can help resolve the problem thoroughly.
Periodontal regeneration
When it’s necessary to restore periodontal tissue lost due to the disease itself, periodontal regeneration comes into play.
To implement this, our periodontists in Milan specialize in bone grafting, soft tissue grafting, and the use of membranes to guide our patients’ tissue regeneration.
Treatment of periodontitis and pyorrhea
Several of our patients complain of excessive bleeding and pus around their teeth. Nothing unsolvable. It’s periodontal disease (commonly called pyorrhea), an advanced form of periodontitis.
To treat it, our dentists use a combined approach that includes non-surgical therapy, periodontal surgery and, sometimes, antibiotic therapy (aimed at controlling the infection).
Managing periodontitis: consistent care for safe oral health.
Periodontal treatment doesn’t end with the healing of the infection or with regeneration procedures. Those who come to us are informed of this immediately.
A properly implemented long-term maintenance plan is crucial for managing and preventing the recurrence of periodontal disease, especially in cases where the patient has previously had diseased teeth.
In practice? It’s essential to have regular checkups, professional cleanings, and follow the good oral hygiene practices recommended by our periodontists in Milan.
