Periodontology – Oral+ Serres

Periodontology

is the dental specialty that focuses on the health of the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth. Healthy gums are the foundation for strong teeth and a beautiful smile.

At Oral+ Serres, under the care of Sotiris Baltiras, we provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for all gum conditions, from simple gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, as well as aesthetic procedures to enhance the smile.

Our main services include:

  • Prevention & treatment of gingivitis
  • Management of periodontitis
  • Non-surgical and surgical periodontal therapy
  • Aesthetic periodontology (smile correction, root coverage, etc.)

Early diagnosis and treatment not only prevent tooth loss but also contribute to overall health and well-being.

“Healthy gums mean a healthy smile. At Oral+ Serres, we provide specialized periodontal treatments to keep your oral health at its very best.”

Subcategories of Periodontology

  1. Gingivitis Treatment

Gingivitis is the initial stage of periodontal disease, characterized by:

  • Redness and swelling of the gums
  • Bleeding while brushing or chewing
  • Bad breath

Treatment includes:

  • Professional dental cleaning
  • Removal of plaque and tartar
  • Personalized oral hygiene instructions

Timely treatment prevents the progression of gingivitis into periodontitis.

2. Periodontitis Treatment

Periodontitis is an advanced form of gum disease that destroys the supporting bone around the teeth. Treatment may include:

  • Deep cleaning and root planing
  • Local or systemic antimicrobial therapy
  • Regular re-evaluations and follow-up care

With modern periodontal therapy, we can stop the progression of the disease and help preserve natural teeth.

3. Gum Recession Coverage

Gum recession can lead to:

  • Aesthetic concerns in the smile
  • Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli
  • Higher risk of root caries

Causes of recession:

  • Periodontal disease
  • Aggressive tooth brushing
  • Anatomical factors

Treatment includes advanced microsurgical gum grafting techniques that allow for:

  • Coverage of exposed roots
  • Restoration of aesthetics
  • Protection against further damage

4. Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a surgical technique used when more of the tooth needs to be exposed above the gumline.
It is performed in cases such as:

  • Preparing teeth for crowns or restorations
  • Teeth fractured near the gumline
  • Improving smile aesthetics (correcting a “gummy smile”)

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, painlessly, and with highly predictable results.

Periodontology & Aesthetics

Periodontology is not only about treating gum diseases, but also about enhancing the aesthetics of the smile. Gums frame the teeth and play a key role in facial harmony and balance.

At Oral+ Serres, we provide specialized aesthetic periodontal treatments that correct imperfections and create a natural, symmetrical smile.

Which aesthetic procedures are offered?

  • Correction of a “gummy smile” through crown lengthening
  • Reshaping of gingival contours for better symmetry
  • Root coverage for exposed roots to improve both comfort and aesthetics
  • Combination with restorative or orthodontic treatment

Benefits for the patient

  • Enhanced smile aesthetics
  • Increased self-confidence
  • Long-term protection of the teeth
