Gingivitis Treatment
Your Gums May Be Telling You Something
A little blood when you brush. Persistent bad breath. Gums that seem to be moving away from your teeth. These can be the first signs of gum disease. Sometimes the condition develops without pain.
At Yiannikos Centre in Nicosia and Limassol, we provide treatment for gingivitis and periodontitis, bringing together periodontal care and our clinical experience with dental lasers and injectable PRF.
Protecting your smile begins with understanding what supports it
Understanding Gum Disease-Small Signs. Important Messages
Gingivitis causes inflammation, redness and bleeding, commonly associated with plaque. It is generally reversible with effective cleaning and professional care. Periodontitis affects the tissues and bone supporting the teeth and may lead to gum recession, deep pockets and mobility. The difference matters because the treatment and long-term care are different.
We begin with periodontal measurements and a detailed examination.
01. Deep periodontal cleaning. Scaling and root planing remove plaque and calculus from affected root surfaces, with local anaesthesia where needed for comfort.
02. Laser-assisted treatment. We incorporate laser technology into selected periodontal treatment plans alongside conventional cleaning.
03. Injectable PRF (i-PRF). Prepared from a sample of your own blood, i-PRF provides platelets and growth factors involved in tissue repair and is used in selected advanced treatment plans.
We reassess the gums after treatment to understand how the tissues have responded.
Laser-Assisted Periodontal Treatment-Where Technology Meets Clinical Experience
Dental lasers have been part of my work for many years. I hold an MSc in Lasers in Dentistry from RWTH Aachen University. Our Nicosia clinic uses Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers, while our Limassol clinic uses a diode laser. We use the technology according to the clinical procedure, alongside established periodontal care.
For me, technology has value when it serves a clear purpose.
Supporting Healing with i-PRF-Your Own Biology. Part of Your Recovery
We prepare injectable PRF from your own blood through centrifugation and incorporate it into selected advanced periodontal plans. When periodontal surgery is required, we also incorporate PRF at the surgical site to support tissue healing. We review bleeding, pocket measurements and the response of your gums afterwards.
Long-Term Gum Health-What We Protect Needs Continued Care
When bleeding improves, maintenance still matters. We review gum health, cleaning, and periodontal pocket measurements. Patients who follow our advanced periodontal protocol typically return every three months. We also show you how to clean effectively between your teeth at home.
My aim is to help you keep your natural teeth healthy and functional for as long as possible.
