Periodontist in Płock –
treating gum and periodontal diseases
Gum and periodontal diseases are among the most common dental problems in adults. If left untreated, they can lead to tooth mobility, tooth neck exposure, gum discomfort, bad breath and even tooth loss. At Panorama Uśmiechu, we diagnose and treat periodontal diseases using modern methods and precise microsurgical procedures.
What does a periodontist do?
Periodontists diagnose and treat diseases of the tissues surrounding the teeth, including the gums, bone, and mucous membrane. They provide treatment for the following conditions:
- gingivitis, bleeding or unpleasant odour from the mouth,
- periodontal disease (periodontitis),
- gingival recession (exposed tooth necks),
- deepening periodontal pockets,
- tooth mobility caused by bone loss,
- problems with frenula,
- gum hypertrophy or deformation,
- changes in the mucous membrane may require specialist examination.
The aim of periodontal treatment is to stop inflammation, strengthen the tissues supporting the teeth and keep your own teeth healthy and stable for as long as possible.
When should you see a periodontist?
Symptoms that should not be ignored:
- bleeding gums when brushing or eating,
- swelling, redness or tenderness of the gums,
- bad breath despite good hygiene,
- exposed tooth necks and tooth sensitivity,
- loose teeth,
- new gaps between teeth,
- a throbbing, itching or ‘pulling’ sensation in the gums.
The sooner you see a specialist, the greater the chance of stopping the problem.
What causes periodontal disease?
The most common cause is chronic inflammation resulting from plaque and tartar build-up. The progression of the disease can be exacerbated by:
- crowding and malocclusion,
- incorrect brushing technique,
- poor oral hygiene,
- smoking,
- stress,
- diabetes and other general diseases,
- genetic predisposition.
This is why periodontal disease requires a tailored approach and regular check-ups.
Periodontal treatment at Panorma Uśmiechu step by step
Consultation and dental diagnostics
During the first visit, we perform:
- a detailed interview,
- examination of the gums and periodontal condition,
- assessment of tooth mobility,
- panoramic X-ray or CBCT tomography.
On this basis, we determine the stage of the disease and the periodontal treatment plan.
Non-surgical treatment
The first stage includes:
- a professional preliminary phase, i.e. hygiene treatment (scaling + sandblasting) in the dental hygiene office with individual hygiene instruction,
- SRP – root planing (deep cleaning of the root surface).
The aim is to stop the inflammation and remove the cause of the disease.
Surgical treatment – when the disease is advanced
In the case of advanced changes, we perform:
- microsurgical procedures,
- bone regeneration (using bone replacement materials),
- flap procedures,
- gum grafts.
Modern techniques allow us to rebuild lost tissue and stabilise teeth.
Ongoing periodontal care
As periodontal diseases are chronic, the following are necessary after treatment:
- regular check-ups,
- dental hygiene appointments every 3–6 months,
- maintaining good oral hygiene.
Only ongoing monitoring can ensure stable results and prevent recurrence.
Other periodontal treatments performed at Panorama Uśmiechu
Periodontology is not just about treating periodontal disease. At our clinic, we also deal with other problems related to gums, soft tissues, and their aesthetics — always using precise, modern techniques.
Treatment of gum recession
We cover exposed tooth necks, reduce hypersensitivity and improve the aesthetics of your smile. We use connective tissue grafts, tunnelling techniques and gum plastic surgery, among other things.
Frenulum correction
These are surgical procedures that improve the tension and range of motion of the lip or tongue frenulum. They are performed for functional, orthodontic or aesthetic reasons.
Tongue frenulum myofrenuloplasty
This is an advanced correction of the tongue frenulum performed in cooperation with a dental physiotherapist or speech and language therapist. This procedure can improve tongue function and speech, as well as the resting position, and it can support orthodontic treatment and functional disorder therapy.
Gummy smile correction (clinical crown lengthening)
This procedure involves modelling the gums and the surrounding tissue to reveal the correct length of the teeth. This creates a harmonious smile line and better aesthetic proportions.
Corticotomy
This is a surgical procedure that supports orthodontic treatment by accelerating tooth movement and improving the stability of dental treatment results in selected clinical cases.
Removal of lesions from the gums and oral mucosa
Diagnosis and surgical removal of inflammatory, hypertrophic, or post-traumatic lesions of the gums and mucosa in accordance with the principles of microsurgery and oncological safety.

FAQ
No. Bleeding gums are the first sign of inflammation, and require a periodontal consultation.
Its progression can be stopped, and the condition of the periodontium stabilised. With early treatment, partial tissue regeneration is also possible.
We perform it under local anaesthesia, so the procedure is comfortable, although temporary hypersensitivity may occur afterwards.
Often, yes — if periodontal treatment is started in time, the inflammation will be removed and the bone stabilised. Early response is crucial.
From several weeks to several months. The time depends on the stage of the disease and the tissue response to treatment.
Yes — in many cases, we use grafts and microsurgical techniques to cover exposed necks.
Most often, every 3–6 months — regularity is crucial to prevent recurrence of inflammation.
