Who is Advanced Periodontology for

What is Advanced Periodontology at Mint Clinic

Periodontology is the specialty that treats the supporting structures of the teeth – gums, bone, and periodontal ligament. When these structures are affected by inflammation or infection, diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis arise, which can lead to gum recession, tooth mobility, and in advanced cases, tooth loss.

At Mint Clinic, Advanced Periodontology combines rigorous diagnosis, updated clinical protocols, and modern technology to treat inflammation, control bacterial infection, and preserve as much healthy tissue as possible, creating a solid foundation for natural teeth, prostheses, and implants.

Advanced Periodontology is especially indicated for people who present:

  • Spontaneous gum bleeding or bleeding when brushing teeth
  • Persistent bad breath despite good hygiene
  • Swollen, red, or sensitive gums
  • Gum recession (teeth appear “longer”)
  • Tooth mobility or sensation of teeth “wobbling”
  • Family history of gum disease or early tooth loss
  • Presence of implants or complex rehabilitations requiring a stable gum base

The earlier periodontal disease is identified, the greater the likelihood of stabilizing the condition, avoiding structural losses, and protecting investments in aesthetic and functional treatments.

How periodontal treatment works at Mint

Each periodontal case is unique. At Mint Clinic, we structure the treatment plan based on a detailed evaluation, imaging exams, and analysis of the patient’s lifestyle, ensuring that each step is clear, comfortable, and predictable.

Clinical evaluation and measurement of gum pockets

We measure the depth of gum pockets, assess the amount of plaque and tartar, analyze X-rays, and identify areas of active inflammation, gum recession, and bone loss. This stage allows us to classify the severity of periodontal disease and set priorities.

Personalized treatment plan and detailed explanation

Based on the diagnosis, we design a plan tailored to your case: from deep cleanings and scalings to specific periodontal surgeries. We explain each option, treatment time, necessary care, and predictability, so you feel secure in every decision.

Active treatment: infection control and stabilization

We perform periodontal treatment with minimally invasive techniques, manual and ultrasonic instrumentation, and may associate complementary therapies as needed. The goal is to reduce inflammation, eliminate pathogenic bacteria, and stabilize the supporting structures of the teeth.

Long-term maintenance and follow-up

After active treatment, we enter the periodontal maintenance phase, with regular control and professional hygiene consultations. This follow-up is essential to prevent recurrences and protect teeth, implants, and future rehabilitations.

Advanced technology serving gum health

High-definition imaging diagnosis

Digital X-rays and high-definition imaging exams allow detailed evaluation of bone height, extent of support loss, and proximity to important anatomical structures, enabling safer periodontal interventions.

Precision ultrasonic instrumentation

Specific ultrasonic equipment for periodontics removes subgingival tartar with greater comfort, reducing chair time and increasing cleaning effectiveness in deep areas.

Clinical magnification and lighting

Magnification loupes and directed clinical lighting help identify pockets, surface irregularities, and areas of inflammation that might go unnoticed to the naked eye, enhancing the quality of the final result.

Digital integration with other specialties

Digital integration between Periodontology, Implantology, and Dental Aesthetics allows planning complex rehabilitations based on 3D models, ensuring gums, bone, and teeth work in aesthetic and functional balance.

Real benefits of advanced periodontal treatment

Caring for gum health is much more than “not having bleeding.” A well-conducted periodontal treatment brings benefits that impact daily comfort, tooth longevity, and even confidence when smiling.

Preservation of teeth and implants

By controlling inflammation and the progression of periodontal disease, we increase the likelihood of maintaining natural teeth and protecting implants and prostheses, reducing the need for more invasive treatments in the future.

Comfort when chewing and brushing

Less inflamed gums mean less pain, less sensitivity, and greater comfort when chewing, brushing, and using dental floss, facilitating the maintenance of good oral hygiene.

Improvement of breath and social well-being

Reducing bacterial load and controlling gum infection help decrease bad breath associated with periodontal disease, promoting greater confidence when speaking closely and in daily life.

Stable base for aesthetic treatments

Veneers, crowns, and aligners work better and last longer when they rest on healthy gums and bone. Advanced Periodontology creates a solid foundation for any aesthetic or functional rehabilitation plan.

Impact of gum health on your quality of life

Periodontal disease often evolves silently. When signs become evident – bleeding, bad breath, gum recession, tooth mobility – many supporting structures may already be compromised.
By treating early, it is possible to:
– Maintain natural teeth longer
– Reduce the risk of pain, infections, and emergencies
– Protect investments in implants and aesthetic rehabilitations
– Improve comfort when eating, speaking, and smiling in public
At Mint Clinic, we view gum health as part of your overall health. We guide oral hygiene habits, maintenance frequency, and specific care to ensure the result of periodontal treatment remains stable over the years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions about periodontal treatments

Gum bleeding is one of the main warning signs and should not be considered “normal.” It may be associated with gingivitis or periodontitis, but it can also reflect inadequate brushing techniques or other local factors. Only a detailed clinical evaluation can identify the cause and indicate the appropriate treatment.

Yes. In advanced stages, chronic inflammation can destroy the bone and ligament that support the teeth, leading to mobility and eventual tooth loss. Periodontal treatment aims precisely to halt this progression and preserve as much structure as possible.

Most procedures are performed with local anesthesia and minimally invasive techniques, making the treatment quite comfortable. Some temporary sensitivity may occur after sessions, which is generally well controlled with simple guidelines and, when necessary, medication prescribed by the dentist.

Yes. Periodontal maintenance is essential to keep disease control. The frequency of consultations is defined according to your individual risk, but regular follow-up with professional hygiene and monitoring of gum health is generally recommended.

Gum health is directly linked to the success of aesthetic, orthodontic, and implant treatments. Therefore, teamwork between periodontics, implantology, aesthetics, and oral rehabilitation is essential for stable and harmonious results.
