A healthy smile starts with healthy gums. At Dr. Alberto Wintergerst Dental Implants & Maxillofacial Clinic, we understand how gum disease can quietly affect more than just your oral health—it can impact your confidence, comfort, and even overall wellbeing. With over 20 years of surgical experience, Dr. Wintergerst and our bilingual team provide advanced, personalized gum disease treatment in Tijuana to help patients regain healthy, beautiful smiles with lasting results.
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting bone around your teeth. It usually begins silently with redness or mild bleeding but can progress into serious conditions that lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
● Gingivitis: The early, reversible stage that causes swollen or bleeding gums.
● Periodontitis: The advanced stage where gums pull away from teeth, leading to bone loss and loose teeth.
The biggest challenge is that gum disease often develops without pain, so many patients don’t realize they have it until significant damage occurs. That’s why we emphasize prevention, early detection, and expert treatment tailored to your specific needs.
We combine surgical precision, modern technology, and compassionate care to deliver effective gum treatments. Every patient’s condition is unique, so we create a personalized treatment plan designed to eliminate infection, restore gum health, and prevent recurrence.
1.Professional Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing)
This non-surgical procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line. It smooths tooth roots to help gums reattach and heal naturally.
2. Laser Gum Therapy
We use minimally invasive laser technology to target bacteria and promote faster healing. It’s a gentle, effective way to restore gum health with minimal discomfort.
3. Surgical Periodontal Therapy
In more advanced cases, gum surgery may be needed to clean infected pockets, regenerate bone, or reshape gum tissue for better aesthetics and function.
4. Bone and Tissue Regeneration
If gum disease has caused bone loss, we offer regenerative procedures to rebuild bone and support future dental implants.
5. Maintenance and Follow-Up Care
After treatment, we provide ongoing support with professional cleanings and home care guidance to help you maintain lasting results.
We understand that gum health is closely connected to your smile’s appearance. For patients with aesthetic concerns, such as a gummy smile, we offer advanced solutions that go beyond standard treatment. One highly effective option is double jaw surgery for a gummy smile, which corrects jaw positioning and enhances facial balance. When combined with gum contouring or periodontal care, this approach can improve both oral function and smile harmony.
We have earned the trust of hundreds of international patients by delivering stable, long-term results through advanced surgical techniques and personalized care.
