Periodontal Care at Lilladent: Protecting Your Gums and Smile

At Lilladent, we are committed to providing comprehensive care for gum disease (periodontitis), combining advanced diagnostics, expert treatment, and attentive follow-up. Our approach focuses not just on relieving symptoms but on restoring and preserving gum and bone health, helping you maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

How We Diagnose Periodontitis

To determine the presence and severity of periodontitis, our dentists at Lilladent will:

• Review your medical history, including factors like smoking or medications that may contribute to dry mouth or gum issues.
• Examine your mouth for plaque, tartar, and bleeding.
• Measure gum pockets with a precise dental probe; pockets deeper than 4 mm may indicate disease requiring intervention.
• Take dental X-rays to assess bone loss around teeth.
• Stage and grade the disease, taking into account severity, complexity, risk factors, and overall health, to create a personalized treatment plan.

Treatment Approaches at Lilladent

Our team provides tailored care, combining the expertise of dentists and periodontists with modern technology.

Nonsurgical treatments (for early-stage periodontitis) include:

• Scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar and smooth tooth roots.
• Antibiotic therapy, topical or oral, to control infection when necessary.

Surgical treatments (for advanced cases) include:

• Flap surgery to clean deep pockets and reshape bone.
• Soft tissue grafts to restore lost gum tissue and cover exposed roots.
• Bone grafting and guided tissue regeneration to rebuild bone lost to infection.
• Tissue-stimulating proteins to encourage natural regrowth of gum and bone tissue.

Lifestyle and Home Care

Maintaining healthy gums requires daily oral hygiene and lifestyle management:

• Brush twice daily with a soft or electric toothbrush.
• Floss or use interdental cleaning tools every day.
• Use recommended mouth rinses to reduce plaque.
• Avoid tobacco products.
• Attend regular professional cleanings as advised by your dentist.

Why Lilladent Stands Out

At Lilladent, we combine expertise, modern techniques, and quality materials to ensure every patient receives the highest standard of care. We focus on:

• Accurate diagnosis using advanced tools.
• Customized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.
• Minimally invasive, patient-focused procedures to reduce discomfort.
• Comprehensive follow-up and guidance for long-term oral health.

By addressing periodontal disease promptly and thoroughly, Lilladent helps prevent tooth loss, maintain oral function, and protect your overall health. Our attentive, professional approach ensures patients not only receive effective treatment but also feel confident and comfortable throughout the process.

Preparing for Your Appointment

To get the most out of your visit:

• Bring a list of symptoms and medical history, including medications and supplements.
• Prepare questions for your dentist, such as treatment options, expected outcomes, and home care tips.

At Lilladent, our goal is to provide care that preserves your gums, teeth, and confidence, ensuring you enjoy a healthy, lasting smile.
