#WE TREAT PERIODONTAL DISEASE WITHOUT PAIN
Laser periodontology in sector 6, Bucharest
Stop periodontal disease and keep your natural teeth
Periodontal disease is the main cause of tooth loss in adults, and if treated in time it can be stopped. At Dental Science, in the Lujer area, sector 6, Bucharest, we treat periodontal disease with the Biolase Epic X laser, a method minimally invasive, painless and scalpel-free, with remarkable results in stopping the evolution of the disease and preserving natural teeth. Balanced gums and healthy bone mean teeth that last a lifetime.
Periodontology is one of areas of excellence of our clinic since 2009. Dr. Ligia Amza, Doctor Specialist in Periodontology, coordinates periodontal treatments at Dental Science. We have noticed over the years that periodontal disease appears at younger and younger ages and in increasingly aggressive forms, which is why we have developed effective treatment protocols based on laser therapy. We don't just talk about technology, we use it every day, and our patients manage to keep their teeth healthy in the long term.
What to expect?
Biolase Epic X laser treatment, no scalpel and no pain
Deep decontamination of periodontal pockets

Personalized treatment plan with long-term monitoring
#what is it
What is periodontal disease and why does the laser make a difference?
Periodontal disease (popularly, but improperly, known as periodontitis) is a chronic infection of the tissues that support the teeth: the gingiva, the periodontal ligament, and the alveolar bone. It all starts with bacterial plaque and tartar accumulated at the edge of the gum. In the first phase it appears gingivitis: red, inflamed gums that bleed when brushed. Untreated, the infection progresses deeply and becomes periodontitis: the gum recedes, periodontal pockets form, and the bone that supports the teeth is progressively destroyed.
The major problem with periodontal disease is that evolves silently, without pain, sometimes years in a row. Many patients only come to the doctor when the teeth begin to move, by which time bone loss is already advanced. That's why early diagnosis and treatment make the difference between keeping natural teeth and losing them.
The impact of periodontal disease goes beyond the oral cavity. Studies in recent years show direct links between untreated periodontal disease and systemic conditions: cardiovascular diseases, unbalanced diabetes, pregnancy complications. Bacteria from periodontal pockets enter the bloodstream and maintain chronic inflammation throughout the body. Treating periodontal disease is not just about saving teeth, but an investment in overall health.
Stages of periodontal disease
Gingivitis (reversible stage): red, inflamed gums that bleed when brushed. There is no bone loss yet, and proper treatment leads to complete healing. It is the only completely reversible stage of the disease.
Early and moderate periodontitis: the infection advances below the gum, 4 to 6 mm periodontal pockets form, and the supporting bone begins to resorb. Laser therapy, adjunct to periodontal curettage, stops the evolution and stabilizes the situation, with very good chances of saving all the teeth.
Advanced periodontitis: pockets deeper than 6 mm, significant bone loss, mobile or migrated teeth. Even at this stage, laser treatment adjunct to curettage of periodontal pockets can save many teeth, but the intervention must be immediate and the protocol is more complex and longer.
The conclusion: the earlier the disease is diagnosed, the simpler, shorter and less expensive the treatment. Gingivitis heals completely, periodontitis just stops.
laser Biolase Epic X fundamentally changed the way we treat periodontal disease. Laser energy decontaminates periodontal pockets in depth, destroying bacteria where classic instruments cannot reach, removes infected tissue precisely, without affecting healthy tissue, and stimulates regeneration and healing the gum. In addition, the laser instantly coagulates small blood vessels, which means minimal bleeding and significantly reduced discomfort compared to classical surgical methods. For patients with dental anxiety, laser therapy is often the factor that convinces them to treat a problem that has been put off for years.
Laser or classic curettage? These methods complement each other
Classic curettage: it is the first step in the treatment of periodontal disease and mechanically removes the infected tissue from the periodontal pockets.
Laser treatment: completes curettage, no scalpel and no sutures, causes minimal bleeding, making deep bacterial decontamination, including in hard-to-reach areas, with a quick healing, reduced discomfort during and after the procedure, stimulating tissue regeneration.
In short: at Dental Science we combine the advantages of both approaches. Professional cleaning removes tartar, and laser therapy deeply decontaminates and accelerates healing. The result is a complete, comfortable treatment with a significantly higher chance of stopping the progression of the disease.
Who is recommended periodontal laser treatment?
Laser periodontal treatment is indicated in all stages of periodontal disease, from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Dr. Ligia Amza evaluates each individual case and determines the appropriate protocol. If you notice one or more of the signs below, it's time to schedule a consultation at our clinic in sector 6:
Bleeding gums when brushing, flossing or spontaneously. It is the first and most common sign of periodontal disease. Contrary to popular belief, bleeding gums are not normal and should not be ignored. Many patients avoid the area that bleeds when brushing, which makes the problem worse: bacterial plaque accumulates exactly where cleaning is lacking.
Gingival retraction. The gums recede, the teeth appear longer, and the roots become visible and sensitive to cold or sweet. Retraction indicates loss of supporting tissue and requires periodontal evaluation as soon as possible before the process progresses.
Persistent bad breath. Bad breath that does not go away after brushing is often caused by bacteria in the periodontal pockets. Mouthwash temporarily masks the problem, but does not solve it. Periodontal treatment eliminates the source, not just the symptom.
Dental mobility. Teeth that move indicate advanced bone loss. Even in these cases, periodontal therapy can stabilize the situation and save the teeth, provided quick intervention. Every week of delay means additional bone lost.
Patients with risk factors. Smokers, diabetics, pregnant women and people with a family history of periodontal disease are at increased risk of the disease and benefit from regular preventive periodontal check-ups, even in the absence of any visible symptoms.
Important: periodontal disease appears at younger and younger ages and in increasingly aggressive forms. Do not wait for the pain to appear, because periodontal disease does not hurt until the advanced stages. A periodontal checkup takes 30 minutes and can make the difference between keeping your teeth and losing them.
#how it goes
How is periodontal treatment carried out at Dental Science?
Periodontal treatment at Dental Science follows a structured protocol, adapted to the stage of the disease and the needs of each patient. Here are the stages each patient goes through:
1. Consultation and periodontogram
The treatment begins with a complete periodontal evaluation at our clinic in the Lujer area, sector 6, Bucharest. Dr. Ligia Amza measures the depth of periodontal pockets for each individual tooth, assesses bleeding, retraction and tooth mobility, and analyzes radiographs to determine bone level. The result is the periodontogram, the exact map of your periodontal condition, on the basis of which the personalized treatment plan is built.
2. Complete professional sanitation
The first therapeutic stage removes the cause of the disease: bacterial plaque and tartar, both above and below the gum line. Subgingival scaling cleans root surfaces in periodontal pockets where at-home brushing cannot reach. Professional hygiene creates the conditions for laser therapy to work effectively and is repeated periodically during treatment.
3. Subgingival curettage in closed or open field
It is the most important phase of the treatment and represents the removal of the infected tissue from the periodontal pockets.
4. Laser therapy Biolase Epic X
Dr. Ligia Amza uses the laser to deeply decontaminate periodontal pockets, remove infected tissue and stimulate healing. The procedure is performed without a scalpel, with minimal bleeding, and most patients describe it as much more comfortable than they expected. Laser energy selectively targets diseased tissue and bacteria, leaving healthy tissue intact. Depending on the severity of the disease, one or more sessions may be required, scheduled at intervals determined by the doctor.
5. Reassessment
4 to 6 weeks after active therapy, Dr. Ligia Amza repeats the periodontal measurements and compares the results with the initial periodontogram. Reduction of pocket depth, disappearance of bleeding and stabilization of teeth confirm the success of the treatment. This objective milestone, based on concrete measurements, shows you exactly what has improved. If certain areas require additional treatment, it is planned punctually.
6. Maintenance meetings
Periodontal disease is a chronic condition, and maintaining results depends on regular checkups and proper hygiene at home. We recommend hygiene sessions and periodontal monitoring every 3 to 6 months, depending on the initial severity of the disease. At each visit, the doctor checks the stability of the results and guides you in the brushing technique and the use of auxiliary hygiene means, such as the oral irrigator. At Dental Science, we stick with our patients for the long term.
The duration of active treatment ranges from 2 to 4 sessions for mild and moderate cases, to extended protocols for advanced periodontitis. The doctor communicates the complete plan, the estimated number of sessions and the costs from the first consultation, so you know from the beginning what to expect.
How do you prevent periodontal disease?
Prevention remains the most effective treatment. Brushing properly twice a day for 2-3 minutes with a gentle gum-to-tooth technique removes plaque before it turns into tartar. Daily interdental cleaning with dental floss, interdental brushes or oral irrigator reaches where the classic brush cannot. Professional cleanings every 6 months remove the tartar that has already formed, and regular check-ups detect inflammation in the reversible stage. Quitting smoking and controlling diabetes significantly reduce the risk of the disease.

#frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about periodontal laser treatment
Does laser periodontal treatment hurt?
Not. Laser therapy is significantly more comfortable than classic surgical methods. Most procedures are performed with minimal local anesthesia or even without anesthesia, and postoperative discomfort is reduced. Our patients are frequently surprised at how simple the experience was.
Can periodontal disease be cured permanently?
Periodontal disease is a chronic condition, which means it doesn't go away permanently, but it can be stopped and kept under control indefinitely. Laser treatment eliminates active infection and stabilizes the situation, and maintenance sessions and proper hygiene at home prevent reactivation of the disease. With a respected protocol, teeth can be preserved for life.
How many laser sessions are needed?
It depends on the stage of the disease. Early cases usually resolve in 1 to 2 sessions, moderate cases in 2 to 4 sessions, and advanced periodontitis requires extensive, individually determined protocols. A session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the number of teeth treated. The exact number of sessions is communicated after the initial periodontal assessment.
Can mobile teeth still be saved?
In many cases, yes. Tooth mobility indicates bone loss, but if the infection is stopped in time by periodontal therapy, the teeth can stabilize. The earlier treatment begins, the greater the chances of survival. Dr. Ligia Amza determines within the clinical and radiological evaluation exactly which teeth can be saved.
Is bleeding gums normal?
Not. Healthy gums do not bleed when brushing or flossing. Bleeding is the first sign of gingival inflammation and a clear signal that a periodontal evaluation is needed. The earlier you intervene, the simpler the treatment.
How much does laser periodontal treatment cost?
The cost depends on the stage of the disease and the number of sessions required. At Dental Science we offer transparent pricing and installment financing options. At the first consultation, you receive the full periodontogram and a detailed estimate, with no subsequent surprises.
What happens if I don't treat periodontal disease?
Untreated, periodontal disease inevitably progresses: periodontal pockets deepen, bone is progressively destroyed, teeth become mobile and finally lost. In addition, studies show links between it and general conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Early treatment is always simpler and less expensive than late treatment.
Is it normal for my gums to bleed during pregnancy?
Bleeding gums are common in pregnancy due to hormonal changes that amplify the inflammatory response (pregnancy gingivitis), but frequent does not mean normal. Untreated, the inflammation can progress, and studies associate maternal periodontitis with increased risks in pregnancy. Cleanings and periodontal treatment are safe during pregnancy, and the second trimester is the ideal time for them.
Can I have periodontal treatment if I wear braces?
Yes, and it is really recommended. Periodontal health is a condition for any successful orthodontic treatment, as teeth only move safely in a healthy periodontium. At Dental Science, Dr. Ligia Amza collaborates directly with the orthodontist, so the treatments are coordinated in the same clinic.
If your gums are bleeding, receding, or you feel your teeth starting to move, don't delay. Periodontal disease does not go away on its own, but it can be stopped with the right treatment. We invite you to a complete periodontal evaluation at Dental Science, in sector 6, Bucharest. Dr. Ligia Amza performs your periodontogram, provides you with a clear diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan, explained step by step. The first step to healthy gums and lifelong teeth starts with an appointment.
