Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss, but with the right programme it can be halted, controlled, and kept under control for life.
Periodontitis is a chronic bacterial infection of the gums and the bone that holds your teeth in place. Left untreated, it quietly destroys that supporting bone until once-healthy teeth loosen and are lost. Our treatment is a structured, multi-session programme rather than a single appointment: we first map the depth of the gum pockets and the extent of bone involvement, then plan the number of sessions your case actually needs. The goal is always the same: stop the disease, stabilise the foundation, and protect the teeth and bone you still have.
The core of the treatment is meticulous deep cleaning and root planing. Using fine ultrasonic instruments, we break up and flush out the hardened plaque and bacterial deposits that sit below the gum line, where a normal toothbrush can never reach. We then smooth the root surfaces so the gums can re-attach and the pockets can shrink. Where the case calls for it, we add adjunctive therapy to target stubborn pockets and bring the bacterial load under control. Deep cleaning is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the procedure stays comfortable from start to finish.
What makes the Dental Med Austria version premium is the disciplined premium-quality protocol and the long-term maintenance plan that follows. Periodontitis is controlled, not cured by a one-off clean, so every patient leaves with a clear, personalised maintenance schedule designed to keep the gums stable for years. For international patients, our team prepares a free remote treatment plan before you travel, mapping out how many sessions you will need and how they fit into your visit, so there are no surprises once you arrive in Tirana.
Mild tenderness and sensitivity for a few days is normal, and most patients notice fresher, healthier gums within weeks. Sticking to your personalised maintenance schedule and good daily home care is what keeps the disease stable long term.
Ideale per: Patients with bleeding, receding, or unstable gums, persistent bad breath, or teeth that feel loose.

Idoneità
A chi è rivolto questo trattamento?
Your gums bleed, recede or feel sore
Bleeding, swelling and recession are early signs of gum disease, the leading cause of tooth loss, and very treatable when caught.
You want to protect the teeth you have
Healthy gums and bone are the foundation of every tooth; treatment stabilises them before problems progress.
You're preparing for implants or veneers
Healthy gums are essential for a lasting aesthetic or implant result, so gum care often comes first.

Impeccable daily hygiene
Brushing and interdental cleaning are the core of keeping gum disease controlled long term.
Maintenance cleanings
Regular professional maintenance is essential after gum treatment to keep the disease from returning.
Don't smoke
Smoking is a major driver of gum disease; stopping dramatically improves gum health and healing.

Domande Frequenti
Domande su gum disease treatment
Can gum disease be reversed?+
Early gum disease can be reversed; advanced periodontitis can be controlled and stabilised with treatment and ongoing maintenance.
Is treatment uncomfortable?+
Deep cleaning is done with local anaesthetic for comfort, and most patients notice healthier gums within weeks.
How many sessions will I need?+
It depends on the severity and how many areas are affected; most patients complete the active phase in a few sessions, which we map out for you in advance in your free treatment plan.
What happens if I do not treat it?+
Untreated periodontitis steadily destroys the bone that supports your teeth, leading to loosening and eventual tooth loss, so early treatment protects far more than just your gums.
Why is the maintenance plan so important?+
Periodontitis is controlled rather than permanently cured, so regular maintenance cleanings keep the bacteria in check and stop the disease from returning.
