Periodontal Treatment in Marbella

Common signs include bleeding gums, gum recession, persistent bad breath, a bad taste in the mouth, loose teeth, and spaces starting to appear between the teeth. These are all warning signs that the gums and the underlying bone may be under attack from long-standing bacterial build-up. 

One of the problems with gum disease is that it can stay relatively quiet while the damage underneath continues. If it is left untreated, the bone supporting the teeth can gradually be destroyed, the gums can recede, and eventually teeth can become loose or even be lost. That is why gum disease treatment in Marbella should never be treated as a cosmetic extra or something to keep putting off. 

At our clinic, periodontal treatment is led by Dr. Miguel Romero, our periodontal specialist, with a PhD from the United States. Having a dedicated periodontist in Marbella patients can see for more advanced gum problems is important, because the treatment needs to be tailored carefully to the extent of disease and the condition of the teeth and bone. 

Treatment usually begins with a periodontal study and a detailed assessment of your gums, bone levels, and tooth support. Once we know exactly what is going on, we carry out deep root cleaning under local anaesthetic so the infected areas can be cleaned thoroughly and the gums have the best possible chance to settle and tighten again. We then review everything in a months time and retreat for free any areas that haven’t fully healed. 

We use local anaesthetic whenever needed, so the treatment itself is designed to be comfortable. Afterwards, the gums can feel tender for a few days, especially if there has been a lot of inflammation present, but this usually settles quite predictably as the tissues heal. 

Periodontal treatment typically takes 2–3 visits. The exact number depends on how widespread the disease is, how many areas need deep cleaning, and whether we are treating one arch or both. 

Yes, those are two of the most common reasons patients realise something is wrong. If bleeding and bad breath are being caused by gum inflammation and bacterial build-up under the gum-line, proper gum disease treatment Marbella can make a major difference once the infection is brought under control. 

Gingivitis means inflammation of the gums without permanent loss of bone support, and it is often reversible with proper cleaning and home care. Periodontitis is more serious because the infection has already started damaging the structures that hold the teeth in place, which is why it requires deeper and more structured treatment. 

Recovery varies depending on the severity of the case, but most patients feel much more normal within a few days to about a week. The gums may look and feel different quite quickly, but the deeper healing and stabilisation continues over time as inflammation reduces. 

Yes, maintenance is essential. Patients with a history of periodontal disease usually need ongoing maintenance cleanings every 3–4 months so the condition stays controlled and does not quietly return. That long-term follow-up is a core part of successful periodontal treatment in Marbella, not an optional extra. 

Yes. The same destructive bacterial process that damages the bone around natural teeth can also damage the tissues around implants if it is not controlled properly. That is why healthy gums matter so much, whether you are trying to save natural teeth or protect existing implant work. 

Our periodontal page shows pricing from 749€. The final cost depends on the diagnosis and whether one arch or both need to be treated, so we confirm the exact figure after the assessment. 

Yes. Our written guarantee places periodontal treatment in the lifetime category, but the conditions are strict and ongoing care matters. Patients with a history of periodontal disease are expected to attend maintenance cleanings at the required frequency and keep up with regular check-ups if they want the guarantee to remain valid. 

If it is left untreated, the infection continues destroying the supporting bone around the teeth. Over time that can mean receding gums, larger spaces between the teeth, loose teeth, worsening breath, repeated flare-ups, and eventually tooth loss. It is far better to treat it early than to wait until the damage becomes much harder to manage.
