Gum Treatment In Albania | American Dental Hospital

Non-Surgical Gum Treatment Procedures

Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

The most common gum treatment removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths root surfaces. At American Dental Hospital, this procedure is performed under local anesthesia for comfort.

The dentist or hygienist uses specialized instruments to clean deep into gum pockets, removing bacteria and infected tissue. Root surfaces are smoothed to discourage future bacterial attachment.

Treatment is usually completed in 2-4 appointments, depending on disease severity. Each appointment treats one section of the mouth.

Antibiotic Therapy

Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed in conjunction with deep cleaning to help eliminate infection. These may be oral antibiotics or antibiotic gels placed directly into gum pockets.

Antimicrobial Mouth Rinse

Prescription-strength chlorhexidine or other antimicrobial rinses reduce bacteria and promote gum healing after deep cleaning procedures.

Surgical Gum Treatment Procedures

Flap Surgery (Pocket Reduction)

For advanced gum disease, the gums are surgically lifted back to allow thorough cleaning of root surfaces and bone. Gums are then sutured into a position that reduces pocket depth.

Bone Grafting

When gum disease has destroyed bone around teeth, bone graft material can be placed to encourage bone regeneration and stabilize teeth.

Soft Tissue Grafting

For severe gum recession, tissue is taken from the palate or other source and grafted over exposed roots to protect them and improve appearance.

Guided Tissue Regeneration

A special membrane is placed between gum and bone to allow bone and connective tissue to regenerate in areas destroyed by gum disease.

The Cost of Gum Treatment

The cost of gum treatment in Albania varies depending on the severity of the condition and the specific procedures required, such as scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance, or more advanced therapy. Simple cleanings and early-stage treatment tend to be more affordable, while deeper periodontal care may involve additional time and resources to address gum pockets and promote healing.

Dental clinics like American Dental Hospital combine experienced periodontal care with personalized treatment plans and transparent pricing to help patients restore and maintain healthy gums.
