Periodontal Treatment in Marbella

Periodontal treatment at R&H in Marbella addresses disease affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It can include detailed assessment, deep cleaning below the gumline and ongoing maintenance, with the aim of controlling inflammation and preserving useful natural tooth support.

Periodontal disease can progress before symptoms are obvious. Loss of supporting tissue may eventually lead to mobility or tooth loss, which is why R&H assesses gum findings and bone support rather than using pain as the only reason to recommend care.

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.

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.

Yes. The appearance of the visible tooth surfaces does not show everything happening below the gums. R&H’s periodontal assessment considers gum measurements and supporting tissues, so a bright smile or recent polish does not rule out periodontitis.

Not necessarily. Recession needs assessment alongside inflammation, tooth support and home-care habits. Tell us when you noticed the change and whether there is sensitivity; we should establish the cause before assuming that every exposed root needs periodontal treatment.

Persistent bleeding is a reason for assessment and tailored cleaning advice, rather than abandoning oral hygiene. At R&H we can show a suitable technique and check why the gums bleed; avoid forceful scrubbing while waiting for guidance.

Plaque is the bacterial film addressed by daily cleaning; tartar is hardened deposit that professional instruments remove. Periodontal treatment targets deposits and inflammation around the roots, while daily home care helps limit fresh build-up between maintenance appointments.

Age alone cannot establish whether your gums are healthy. Symptoms, measurements and supporting bone matter more than assuming you are too young for assessment. Mention family history and previous gum treatment when discussing concerns at R&H.

That should not be expected. Periodontal care aims to control disease and preserve remaining support; selected defects may be considered for regenerative treatment. R&H explains the realistic aim for each area rather than promising complete reversal of previous damage.

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.

R&H’s team includes clinicians focused on periodontics and implants, including Dr. Rebeca Daemi Zabalza and Dr. Miguel Romero Bustillos. Reception confirms who will assess your case; the treatment plan is tailored to your disease findings and supporting teeth rather than a standard package.

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.

We measure the gum pockets around teeth and assess bleeding, recession and tooth support. These findings, alongside clinically indicated X-rays, help distinguish a surface gum problem from loss of support and guide the treatment plan.

No. A pocket measurement needs context from other sites, inflammation, recession and bone levels. The assessment looks at the pattern across your mouth rather than treating one number as proof of severity or a complete treatment plan.

X-rays can help show the bone supporting the teeth, which cannot be judged from the gum surface alone. The dentist decides which images are clinically useful and considers any existing records you bring to the periodontal consultation.

Yes. Previous pocket charts, X-rays and treatment summaries help explain what has already been done and whether there has been change. They complement a current examination at R&H and can make the maintenance discussion more specific.

No clinician can promise that before assessment. Mobility, remaining support, infection and the tooth’s condition affect the outlook. The periodontal consultation should identify which teeth have a reasonable prognosis and explain alternatives where keeping a tooth is unlikely to help.

They are relevant to gum-disease risk and the treatment discussion. Tell us about smoking and your medical care so periodontal management can be coordinated appropriately; dental treatment should complement, rather than replace, advice from your medical team.

No. Bad breath can have more than one cause, so we first check whether gum disease is contributing. Deep cleaning is recommended for an identified periodontal need, not simply because a mouthwash has failed to solve the symptom.

Treatment begins with a periodontal study and explanation of the findings. Cleaning below the gums and local anaesthetic are planned as needed, followed by reassessment. Further care depends on the response; timing, included visits and any retreatment terms should be clear in your plan.

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.

Routine cleaning and periodontal treatment have different scopes. When disease affects root surfaces beneath the gums, R&H plans targeted subgingival instrumentation and follow-up; a polish alone cannot substitute for that assessment and treatment of affected support tissues.

It describes professional cleaning of affected root surfaces below the gumline using suitable instruments. The aim is to remove deposits and help control inflammation, with local anaesthetic when needed and a later review of how the gums respond.

Yes. Disease may be concentrated in particular teeth or areas rather than affecting every site equally. The assessment identifies the involved regions so the treatment scope and quotation reflect what is actually needed in each arch.

No. Antibiotics are considered only when clinically indicated and do not replace professional cleaning or daily plaque control. Ask why they are proposed in your case and tell the dentist about allergies and other medicines before taking them.

Surgery may be considered when disease or difficult-to-access areas remain after assessment and initial care. R&H’s periodontal page describes surgical and regenerative options, but the recommendation depends on the pattern of damage and response, not a label alone.

No. Regeneration is a case-specific option for selected defects, not a universal treatment for all bone loss. Ask what the proposed procedure aims to achieve, its limitations and whether non-surgical care or another approach is appropriate.

Symptoms do not reliably show every affected area. The dentist should explain the whole periodontal chart and priorities, so decisions consider silent disease as well as pain. If you need phased care, discuss a clinically sensible sequence.

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.

The review checks whether inflammation and pockets have improved and whether further care is needed. R&H uses reassessment to guide the next phase; the end of the cleaning appointments is not automatically the end of active periodontal treatment.

Sensitivity can occur as inflamed tissues settle and previously covered root surfaces become exposed. Tell the team if it is troublesome or persistent so we can review the cause and advise appropriate care rather than assuming every discomfort is normal.

Reducing swollen gum tissue can make existing gaps or recession more noticeable. Ask the dentist to compare your findings before and after treatment; appearance changes should be understood alongside inflammation control and support, rather than interpreted from photographs alone.

Report where and when the bleeding occurs and how you have been cleaning. Persistent bleeding may prompt technique changes or further assessment of residual disease; it should be reviewed rather than dismissed or treated only with a stronger mouthwash.

The dentist combines your symptoms with clinical findings such as bleeding and pocket measurements. Feeling better is welcome, but objective review helps decide whether the disease is controlled and which areas still need attention or closer maintenance.

Follow the instructions given for your particular treatment, especially if surgery was involved. Ask the team to demonstrate cleaning around sensitive areas; an appropriate routine supports ongoing plaque control without assuming that all periodontal procedures need identical aftercare.

Do not substitute mouthwash for the cleaning plan without guidance. If tenderness prevents effective hygiene, contact the team for an appropriate technique or product recommendation; rinses, when prescribed, have a defined role alongside the rest of your care.

Contact the clinic for increasing pain, new swelling, discharge or concerns about bleeding rather than waiting for routine reassessment. Describe the treatment date and changes clearly so the team can decide how urgently you need to be seen.

Yes. Periodontal improvement does not repair decay, a fracture or another separate tooth problem. The review helps distinguish gum response from other needs and place restorative treatment in a sensible sequence once the support tissues have been assessed.

Yes. Maintenance is an ongoing part of periodontitis care. R&H describes three- to four-month visits for many affected patients, with the exact interval adapted to risk, residual pockets, bleeding and home care; improvement does not remove the need for review.

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.

Ongoing periodontitis care at R&H combines monitoring with professional cleaning appropriate to your findings. The team checks for changes, reviews home care and discusses any areas needing closer attention, keeping the focus on sustained disease control rather than simply polishing the teeth.

Your interval reflects your own disease history, remaining pockets, inflammation and ability to control plaque. R&H’s page describes three- to four-month maintenance for many periodontal patients, but your clinician adjusts the schedule according to individual risk and response.

Stopping because symptoms improve can miss disease returning quietly. Discuss any proposed change to your recall schedule with the dentist; continued measurements and cleaning help confirm stability, even when your mouth feels comfortable between appointments.

Ask for sizes and a demonstration suited to your actual spaces. R&H’s home-care guidance includes interdental tools where helpful; using one brush size everywhere or forcing a tight fit may make the routine uncomfortable and less effective.

Yes. Explain the obstacle, whether it is dexterity, discomfort, time or confusing instructions. The team can simplify or adapt the routine so maintenance is realistic; a plan that cannot be followed needs discussion rather than embarrassment.

Tell R&H where you will be and arrange continuity before travel. Sharing treatment summaries and periodontal records can help another clinician understand your needs; clinical maintenance and any commercial guarantee conditions should be clarified separately.

No. Restorations still depend on healthy supporting teeth and gums and may need specific cleaning access. Bring concerns about food trapping or difficult areas to maintenance appointments so the team can review both hygiene and the restoration.

Yes. Active gum problems can affect the foundations and planning of cosmetic restorations. At R&H, discuss periodontal findings before finalising elective work so the sequence addresses disease control, review and maintenance alongside appearance goals.

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.

R&H’s published policy places certain periodontal treatment in a lifetime commercial category, subject to conditions and exclusions. Ask for the applicable written coverage and maintenance requirements. The policy is distinct from the clinical prognosis and cannot guarantee a cure or lifelong retention of every tooth.

Tell R&H reception that your concern is bleeding gums, previous periodontitis or another support-tissue problem. Include any existing diagnosis and current symptoms so the appointment can be routed appropriately; an online request becomes a booking only after reception confirms it.

It is a more focused assessment of the gums and tooth-support structures. A general check-up may identify the need, while a periodontal study provides detailed information for treatment planning; ask which appointment and charges apply to your case.

Ask for the areas or arches being treated, assessment and cleaning stages, reassessment and any additional procedures. Maintenance should be discussed separately where relevant, so you can distinguish the initial course from the ongoing costs of controlling disease.

Sometimes, provided the sequence remains clinically appropriate. Discuss finances, travel and availability early so R&H can explain priorities and the implications of delays; dividing appointments should not conceal untreated areas or replace necessary follow-up.

Do not assume so. The need for surgery or regeneration may depend on the initial findings and response to non-surgical care. Ask R&H to identify included stages and explain any additional proposed procedure and cost before you agree.

Yes. Bring the diagnosis, pocket chart, X-rays and proposed treatment if available. A current assessment allows a meaningful discussion of priorities and alternatives; comparisons are more useful when both plans describe the same disease findings and scope.

Ask for that discussion explicitly. Understanding the prognosis of individual teeth helps you weigh treatment effort, expected function and alternatives; a whole-mouth diagnosis should still lead to a practical explanation of the areas that matter most for you.

The goal is to control inflammation and protect useful natural tooth support for the long term. Success depends on the disease pattern, treatment response and continuing care, so the plan combines professional treatment with a manageable maintenance and home-care routine.
