General Dentistry and Periodontology in Rome.
General dentistry focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the most common dental and gum conditions. At the Italian Gnathological Institute (IGI), every patient benefits from a personalized approach that considers not only dental health but also chewing function, occlusion, and overall oral wellbeing.
Our goal is to preserve natural teeth, prevent gum disease, and maintain long-term oral health.
When to See a Dentist:
A dental consultation may be recommended if you experience:
- Tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Suspected or visible cavities
- Bleeding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Excessive tartar buildup
- Difficulty chewing
- Loose teeth
- Routine check-ups and preventive care
Early diagnosis often allows for more conservative and effective treatment.
Restorative Dentistry:
Restorative dentistry focuses on the treatment of cavities, damaged teeth, and aesthetic restorations.
Modern materials allow damaged teeth to be restored while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
Endodontics and Root Canal Treatment:
When decay or infection reaches the inner part of a tooth, endodontic treatment (root canal therapy) may be required.
The objective is to eliminate infection, relieve pain, and preserve the natural tooth whenever possible.
Periodontology and Gum Health:
Periodontology focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and the supporting tissues around the teeth.
Healthy gums are essential for maintaining dental stability, proper chewing function, and smile aesthetics.
Gingivitis and Periodontitis:
Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease and may cause:
- Bleeding gums
- Redness
- Swelling
- Persistent bad breath
If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which may lead to:
- Gum recession
- Tooth mobility
- Bone loss
- Tooth displacement
- Tooth loss
Early diagnosis is essential to protect long-term oral health.
Periodontal Treatment:
Periodontal therapy is tailored to each patient’s condition and may include:
- Professional dental cleaning
- Plaque and tartar removal
- Root planing
- Periodontal pocket treatment
- Surgical treatment when necessary
- Long-term maintenance programs
The goal is to control inflammation and preserve natural teeth whenever possible.
Professional Dental Hygiene:
Professional teeth cleaning is one of the most effective ways to prevent cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease.
During treatment, plaque, tartar, and surface stains are removed to support long-term oral health.
Pediatric Dentistry:
Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of children and adolescents.
Regular dental visits help:
- Prevent tooth decay
- Monitor dental development
- Detect bite problems early
- Promote healthy oral hygiene habits
Early prevention supports lifelong oral health.
Halitosis Treatment:
Persistent bad breath may be associated with gum disease, tooth decay, plaque buildup, or other oral conditions.
A thorough dental evaluation helps identify the cause and determine the most appropriate treatment.
An Integrated Approach:
The Italian Gnathological Institute combines general dentistry, periodontology, and gnathology to provide comprehensive oral healthcare.
Special attention is given to patients affected by bruxism, teeth clenching, tooth wear, bite problems, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
