Gum disease not only affects the aesthetics of your smile, but can also compromise the health of your teeth, supporting bone and, ultimately, your chewing function.
Periodontics is the dental specialty that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases that affect the periodontium, that is, the gums and the bone that supports the teeth.
Periodontics specialists perform personalized treatments and use minimally invasive techniques and advanced technology to preserve the health of your gums and prevent tooth loss.

Periodontics studies and treats conditions that affect the tissues that support and surround the teeth, mainly the gums, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone.
Periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, are characterized by inflammation, bleeding, receding gums and progressive bone loss, which can lead to tooth mobility and loss if not treated in time.
Periodontics combines clinical techniques, specialized instrumentation and hygiene protocols to control infection and regenerate damaged tissues.
Periodontal treatments are indicated when signs and symptoms are detected that evidence an affectation of the gums and supporting tissues of the teeth. Early intervention is essential to prevent disease progression and preserve oral health.
As specialists in periodontics in Palma de Mallorca, we recommend periodontal treatment in the following cases:
Early diagnosis and proper periodontal treatment planning are key to controlling the disease, restoring gum health and preventing long-term tooth loss.
Failure to treat periodontal disease can have serious consequences for both oral health and overall well-being. Chronic inflammation caused by plaque and tartar buildup can progress from mild gingivitis to severe periodontitis, affecting the bone that supports the teeth and surrounding tissues.
This progression leads to loss of bone support, resulting in tooth mobility and, in advanced cases, tooth loss. In addition, the destruction of gingival and bone tissue can alter the bite and hinder chewing function, affecting quality of life.
Beyond the mouth, periodontal infection is associated with increased systemic inflammation, which may aggravate or contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease, poorly controlled diabetes, pregnancy complications and other inflammatory pathologies.
Therefore, it is essential to see a specialist for early diagnosis and timely treatment to curb the disease, preserving both oral and general health.
Periodontal treatments are the best option to preserve the health of teeth and the tissues that support them, offering clear advantages over more invasive or palliative solutions.
First, they stop the progression of the disease by eliminating infection and inflammation, preserving the bone structure and gums, which helps maintain natural teeth longer.
Unlike treatments that involve extractions and prosthetic replacements, periodontics acts on the real cause of the problem, avoiding the need for more complex and costly interventions that have a greater impact on oral health.
In addition, periodontal treatments contribute to improving general health, as they control an inflammatory focus that can have repercussions on other systemic diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
From a functional and esthetic point of view, periodontics restores the health and natural appearance of the gums, improving dental stability, bite and smile confidence.
Finally, these customized, minimally invasive treatments are complemented by maintenance and hygiene education programs, ensuring long-lasting results and improved quality of life.
The professionals specialized in periodontics have extensive experience and training in the most advanced techniques for the treatment of gum disease and supporting tissues.
Each treatment is individually designed, combining clinical expertise, digital technology and a human approach that accompanies the patient throughout the process.
More than 40 years of experience support the excellence in diagnosis, treatment and periodontal prevention in our clinics in Palma and Manacor, guaranteeing lasting results and a close and professional attention.
The choice of the most appropriate periodontal treatment depends on the stage and severity of the disease, as well as the individual characteristics of each patient. Therefore, a thorough clinical evaluation and an accurate diagnosis are essential to define the optimal treatment plan.
In the initial stages, when inflammation is limited to the gingiva without severe bone involvement, treatment usually consists of non-surgical therapies such as deep cleaning by scaling and root planing. These techniques remove plaque and tartar accumulated under the gum, reducing inflammation and promoting the recovery of gingival tissue.
In more advanced cases, where bone destruction is significant, surgical intervention may be necessary to access the affected areas, remove the damaged tissue and sometimes perform regenerative procedures with biomaterials that promote the reconstruction of bone and periodontal tissues.
In addition, periodontal treatment always includes a personalized maintenance program with periodic check-ups and professional cleanings to prevent relapses and preserve long-term results.
The specialists adapt each treatment to the particularities of the patient, taking into account factors such as general health, habits, and preferences, ensuring a comprehensive approach that combines efficacy, comfort and durability.
The specialists combine clinical expertise with state-of-the-art technology to provide accurate, effective and comfortable periodontal treatments.
They use advanced diagnostic systems, such as digital radiographs and 3D tomography, to accurately assess the degree of bone involvement and plan the intervention in a personalized manner.
In the therapeutic phase, they use ultrasonic instruments and lasers that facilitate the complete removal of plaque and tartar, even in deep and hard-to-reach areas, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
Lasers also help reduce inflammation, accelerate healing and improve disinfection, leading to faster recovery and better patient comfort.
For regenerative procedures, biomaterials and innovative techniques are used to stimulate the formation of bone and periodontal tissue, seeking to restore the natural function and stability of the dentition.
This integration of advanced technology guarantees more precise treatments, with less discomfort and better results, consolidating long-term oral health.
The treatments performed show effective and lasting results in the recovery of gingival and bone health, with patients who have significantly improved their well-being and quality of life.
Each clinical case reflects a personalized plan, advanced technology and a professional accompaniment that guarantees therapeutic success.
