Periodontics
Gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place and the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Our periodontologist, Dr Adomas Rovas, diagnoses and treats gum disease with deep cleaning, periodontal surgery and gum grafting.
About the treatment
Gum disease begins when bacteria in plaque inflame the gums — this early stage is called gingivitis. If it is not treated, it can progress to periodontitis, where the toxins produced by bacteria destroy the connective tissue and bone that support the teeth. Pockets form between the gums and teeth, the gums may recede, and teeth can become loose and eventually fall out.
Because bone loss is not visible to the naked eye, regular dental examinations and professional cleaning are essential. Our periodontologist measures the depth of the gum pockets, takes X-rays and creates a treatment plan tailored to you.
Treatment ranges from non-surgical deep cleaning of the root surfaces to flap surgery, regenerative surgery, crown lengthening and gum grafting for receding gums.

Common signs are bleeding gums, red or swollen gums, bad breath, receding gums and teeth that feel loose or have moved.
Gingivitis can usually be reversed with professional cleaning and good home care. Periodontitis can be controlled and stabilised with treatment and regular maintenance.
Deep cleaning is carried out under local anaesthetic where needed, so it should be comfortable.
A periodontal consultation is €50, and treatment prices are listed in the live price table on this page.
Research has linked gum disease with other health conditions, which is one more reason to treat it early.
