Parodontologue Lyon:
Healthy gums thanks to our follow-up care

Many people suffer from periodontitis, an infectious gum disease that attacks the entire tooth attachment system in the jaw.

To regain good oral health and halt the progression of the disease, it is essential to undertake follow-up care.

This is precisely what Studio Dentaire, run by Hervé Touati, a periodontologist in Lyon and specialist in dental aesthetics for over 20 years, offers you.

Here we explain the causes and consequences of periodontitis. And find out how we can provide the right treatment to help you smile again.

Causes and symptoms of periodontitis

Periodontitis is caused by inflammation: a pocket of tartar forms on and under the gums. Certain genetic factors can facilitate the onset of the disease, which usually begins with bleeding gums.

In addition to bleeding, the following symptoms may be observed, depending on the stage of the disease:

Red, swollen gums

Bleeding gums

Gaps begin to appear between teeth, causing food to become trapped.

Progressive loosening of the tooth, revealing the roots

Diffuse pain, gingival irritation

Teeth that move

These symptoms should encourage you to consult a periodontist.

Why consult a periodontist?

Periodontitis is a serious, chronic disease that eventually leads to significant tissue and bone loss, and even tooth loss.

What’s more, even when progression is slow, loosening of the teeth not only leads to an unattractive smile, but also, as we’ve seen, to general discomfort.

Inflammation can also pass into the bloodstream, with serious consequences:

Development of coronary artery disease
Infectious endocarditis in people with heart disease
Risk of premature delivery

Consulting a periodontologist will enable you to receive appropriate treatment and halt the progression of the disease.

How does a periodontal consultation work?

Studio Dentaire offers you tailor-made follow-up with a specialist in periodontology at our office on boulevard Eugène Deruelle in Lyon 3rd district.

You will be offered an in-depth treatment to eliminate the bacteria responsible for the infection and prevent recurrence.

Our services include :

Removal of tartar above the gum line using specially designed instruments.

Removal of tartar below the gum line. Anesthesia is rarely required. The detached gums gradually re-attach to the roots, forming a watertight sleeve around the teeth. The bone surrounding the roots consolidates, preventing the teeth from shifting.

Local treatments to remove plaque.

Tailor-made follow-up over several months.

In most cases, thorough disinfection of the mouth and daily local care are all that’s needed. Your involvement will be essential to ensure the success of the treatment: for this reason, we are building a genuine “partnership” with you.

At your first appointment, your periodontal dentist will take the time to get to know you, answer your questions and explain your treatment plan in detail.

Before / After treatment

Studio Dentaire is a team of 3 dentists, 3 assistants, 1 care coordinator and 1 medical secretary. We welcome you in the heart of the Part-Dieu district, near the train station and a stone’s throw from Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse.
