Advanced Gum Care for Long-Term Oral Health

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. At Astra Dental Clinic, our periodontal specialists provide expert care for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease (periodontitis) — a common yet serious condition that affects both your oral and overall health.

Whether you're experiencing bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or gum recession, our team offers personalized solutions to restore and maintain your gum health.

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth. It starts as gingivitis (gum inflammation) and can progress to periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.

Common Symptoms of Gum Disease

Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

Bad breath (halitosis)

Gum recession (longer-looking teeth)

Loose or shifting teeth

Pain while chewing

Sensitive or exposed tooth roots

If you experience any of these signs, early intervention is key to preventing irreversible damage.

Our Periodontal Treatments

Astra Dental Clinic offers a full range of periodontal services, from preventive care to surgical treatment, tailored to each patient’s needs:

01

Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

Removes plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line and smooths root surfaces to promote healing.

02

Periodontal Maintenance

Ongoing care every 3–4 months to manage gum health and prevent relapse after initial treatment.

03

Gum Surgery (for advanced cases)

Includes flap surgery to access deep pockets, remove infection, and recontour bone if needed.

04

Laser Gum Therapy (Minimally invasive option)

Advanced laser technology targets diseased tissue with minimal discomfort and faster healing.

05

Gum Grafting / Soft Tissue Regeneration

Treats receding gums by restoring lost tissue and protecting tooth roots.

06

Bone Grafting

Rebuilds bone lost due to gum disease, preparing for implants or stabilizing teeth.

Individuals with chronic bad breath or loose teeth
