Periodontal diagnostics

We create a 'health passport' for your gums - and a clear treatment plan.

Periodontal diagnostics is a comprehensive assessment of the gums, bone and dentogingival attachment - the first and most important step in treating periodontal disease. The doctor probes the pockets around each tooth, recording depth, bleeding and recession in a periodontal chart. A CBCT reveals bone loss invisible on a routine exam. From this we build an individual plan with stages, timelines and cost - so you clearly understand the state of your gums and what to do next.

When to come

  • Bleeding gums when brushing.
  • Exposed tooth necks.
  • Tooth mobility or drifting.
  • Bad breath.
  • Before implantation or orthodontics.

What's included

Probing pockets around each tooth

We measure pocket depth at every tooth - the basis of an objective periodontal assessment.

Periodontal chart

All readings go into your individual chart - a gum 'health passport' for tracking change over time.

CBCT analysis

The 3D scan shows horizontal and vertical bone loss invisible on a routine exam.

Recession and bleeding assessment

We record exposed necks and bleeding sites - markers of disease activity.

Individual plan with costs

We compile a plan with specific stages, timelines and costs.

How the visit goes

  1. 1Examination and history.
  2. 2Probing pockets around each tooth.
  3. 3Recording data in the periodontal chart.
  4. 4CBCT analysis.
  5. 5Drafting an individual treatment plan.

Why it matters

  • Detects hidden bone loss before symptoms appear.
  • Objective numbers, not a guess by eye.
  • A plan with clear stages and costs.
  • A baseline for tracking change in future.

FAQ

Is probing painful?
Usually not — it's a gentle measurement with a thin probe. With sensitive gums, mild discomfort is possible.
Why a CBCT if there's an exam?
Bone loss around the roots isn't visible on a routine exam. A 3D scan shows it precisely.
How often to repeat diagnostics?
Depending on the condition — usually yearly, more often during maintenance. The doctor sets the schedule.
What is a periodontal chart?
A table of pocket, bleeding and recession readings per tooth — to track change objectively.
Can treatment start right away?
Yes — after diagnostics the doctor will offer the first stage of the plan straight away.

Gum health starts with an accurate diagnosis. We'll build your periodontal chart and show the real picture.
