Healthy gums are not only important in terms of retaining teeth, but also form the basis of an aesthetically appealing mouth. A metallic taste in the mouth is a symptom of periodontal disease, with many patients also suffering from halitosis and bleeding of the gums. Sometimes, tissue loss leaves the roots of the teeth exposed. The treatment objective is to restore healthy bones and soft tissue. In the event of severe bone loss, we also have the option of rebuilding the bones by means of guided tissue regeneration (GTR). As we use specialist ultrasound equipment, it is now possible to treat the gums almost painlessly.
