Periodontics
Periodontist in Forest and Brussels
Our practice specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of gum disease. We see only patients with periodontal problems or those who need specialist care before implant treatment.
We work in collaboration with referring practitioners, to ensure your oral health is managed as a whole.
What is periodontal disease?
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the gums and the bone that supports the teeth. It can cause bleeding, swelling, progressive recession and, left untreated, tooth loss.
An early diagnosis makes it possible to stabilise the disease and preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible.
Periodontal treatments we provide
Deep scaling and root planing
Thorough cleaning below the gumline to remove tartar deposits.
Periodontal surgery
In advanced cases, surgery may be needed to regenerate the tissues or reduce periodontal pockets.
Periodontal plastic surgery
Gum recession — gums that pull back and leave the root exposed — causes cold sensitivity, a risk of root decay and an aesthetic concern when it affects the smile. Periodontal plastic surgery covers exposed roots with a connective tissue graft or a tunnel technique, reinforces thin gum tissue and harmonises the gum line — including for a gummy smile or before an aesthetic restoration.
Pre-prosthetic surgery
Preparing the tissues before a prosthesis or an implant, to optimise stability, function and comfort.
Successful treatment rests on regular follow-up and personalised periodontal maintenance.
