Periodontal Diseases

Periodontal disease affects the supporting tissues of the teeth—gums, bone and periodontal ligament. Early gingivitis causes redness and bleeding, while advanced periodontitis leads to bone loss, gum recession and tooth mobility. At Auraliss, our periodontists combine evidence-based therapy and gentle techniques to stop infection, preserve bone and rebuild a healthy foundation.

Common Signs & Symptoms

Bleeding when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath
Swollen or tender gums, gum recession and sensitivity
Spaces opening between teeth, drifting or loosening teeth
Deep pockets on probing, tartar build-up below the gumline
Systemic factors—such as diabetes, smoking and stress—can increase risk and severity. We address these in your personalised plan.

Comprehensive Diagnosis

Full periodontal charting, digital X-rays / CBCT where indicated, and risk assessment (diabetes, smoking, bite forces).

Non-Surgical Therapy

Scaling & Root Planing (deep cleaning) under local anaesthesia; guided biofilm therapy and polishing to disrupt bacteria.

Adjunctive Care

Local antimicrobials, antiseptic rinses and desensitising agents; personalised home-care coaching.

Periodontal Surgery (When Needed)

Pocket reduction (flap surgery), regeneration (membranes/bone grafts), crown lengthening, and soft-tissue grafts for recession.

Step-by-Step Care Pathway

Assessment: Measurements, risk profile, tailored hygiene instructions.
Initial Therapy: Deep cleaning in quadrants; bite adjustment if trauma is present.
Re-Evaluation (6–8 weeks): Pocket depth and bleeding reduction reviewed; sites reassessed.
Corrective Phase: Regenerative or resective surgery only for non-responding deep pockets.
Maintenance: Supportive periodontal therapy every 3–6 months to prevent relapse.

Soft-Tissue Aesthetics & Comfort

For recession or a “long-tooth” appearance, minimally invasive grafting can thicken the tissue and cover roots, reducing sensitivity and improving smile harmony. Laser or piezo-assisted techniques help with delicate soft-tissue work.

Periodontal Health & Dental Implants

Active gum disease must be stabilised before implants. We design supportive maintenance schedules to protect both natural teeth and implants from peri-implantitis.

Home-Care Essentials

Twice-daily brushing with a soft brush or sonic brush
Daily interdental cleaning (floss, brushes or water flosser)
Smoking cessation support and diabetes control if applicable
Professional cleanings at intervals recommended by your periodontist

Risks & What to Expect

Temporary sensitivity and mild gum soreness are common after deep cleaning and usually settle within a few days. Surgical sites may swell for 48–72 hours; detailed post-op instructions and follow-ups are provided to ensure smooth healing.

My gums bleed—do I definitely have periodontitis?

Not always. Bleeding can be due to gingivitis (early stage) and is reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. We’ll examine and measure pockets to confirm.

Will deep cleaning loosen my teeth?

No. Deep cleaning removes infected deposits; any looseness is due to existing bone loss. Stabilising the disease helps preserve remaining support.

Do I need surgery?

Most patients respond well to non-surgical therapy. Surgery is reserved for deep, non-responding pockets or to regenerate lost tissues and improve long-term stability.

How often are maintenance visits?

Typically every 3–6 months depending on risk factors (smoking, diabetes, previous pocket depths). We’ll tailor the interval to keep disease inactive.
