Periodontics is a specialty of dentistry dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of periodontal diseases. These diseases include gingivitis and periodontitis, which affect the tissues that surround and support the teeth. These tissues include the alveolar bone, the periodontal ligament, and the gums.

Periodontics also focuses on the treatment of gum disease, the maintenance of healthy periodontal tissues, and the regeneration of damaged periodontal tissue.

At Vila Dental we take care of diseases of the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums, periodontium and alveolar bone.

The most common diseases in periodontics are gingivitis and periodontitis. Both manifest as inflammation of tissues, such as the gums, and can cause bleeding and bad breath. In severe cases, they can lead to tooth loss.
