Example of gingivitis treatment I (61-year-old female patient)

This photograph shows the upper teeth of a patient who lost many front teeth from gingivitis. Although some of the gingivitis symptoms were treated, problems still remain due in part to the patient wearing unfitted dentures for a long time.

A problem in this case is due to the fact that there was no integrated diagnose or treatment plan. Most of the gingivitis cases have an initial symptom of shifting teeth and bleeding gums. If you treat only the symptom, gingivitis will worsen, and you will loose your teeth.

The second photograph shows a mouth after the treatment. The root of a tooth buried in the bottom of the gum was pulled farther out of the gum, and all teeth and gums were treated without extracting one tooth. Since implant-supported bridge was used for the missing teeth, she no longer has to wear dentures. The result is a beautiful smile and healthy gums.
