Periodontics is the dental specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease.
Gum disease starts as gingivitis (inflammation and bleeding of the gums). This is reversible if treated early with a professional dental cleaning and improved oral hygiene at home. If left untreated, it progresses into periodontitis, attacking the bone that supports your teeth. This causes increased bleeding, swelling, and tooth mobility. Ultimately, severe bone loss leads to premature tooth loss.
Dr. Marcos Segura Sánchez is a specialist periodontist, meaning he holds the highest level of university training in gum health and dental implants. He will personally guide your treatment and help restore your oral health.
