Understanding periodontitis — explained calmly and clearly.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the structures supporting the teeth. It is caused by bacteria that accumulate over time in dental plaque along the gumline.
It often begins inconspicuously — a little gum bleeding, slight recession. Many people do not take it seriously.
If these deposits are not removed regularly, bacteria migrate deeper beneath the gum margin. There they cause an inflammatory response that, over time, can affect not only the gums but also the jawbone.
Because periodontitis usually progresses without pain, it is often detected late. If the inflammation persists, it can spread deeper and weaken the support of the teeth.
However, it concerns more than your teeth alone: scientific research shows that untreated periodontitis can also affect general health — for example, the cardiovascular system or existing diabetes.
Timely treatment therefore protects not only your teeth but your entire body.
Often it is small changes that point to inflammation.
It is worth looking more closely. If you notice one or more of these signs, we should examine the situation together. The earlier we act, the simpler the treatment.
Step by step — structured and easy to follow.
We understand that gum treatments can be a source of concern.
Successful treatment is the first step — aftercare secures the result.
We inform you openly about all costs — before treatment begins.
The cost of dental treatment depends on the diagnosis, complexity and chosen materials. Patients with statutory health insurance are entitled to co-payment-free basic care. Higher-quality options beyond this are available under an additional cost agreement.
We aim to present all options clearly and transparently. Together, we decide which solution is medically appropriate and right for you. You will receive a clear cost overview before any treatment.
Statutory health insurance covers the cost of systematic periodontal treatment: diagnosis, deep cleaning of gum pockets and structured aftercare (SPT) for two years. This requires a confirmed diagnosis and an approved treatment plan.
Supplementary procedures that increase comfort or accelerate healing — such as laser therapy or specialised microbial testing — are private services. Professional dental cleaning (PZR) as pre-treatment may also be a private expense.
Before treatment begins, we prepare a transparent plan for you. This allows you to make a calm decision with full cost certainty.
Whether a check-up, consultation or acute concern — we are here for you.
