Periodontitis treatment at Smile Centrum in Prague helps stop gum disease and prevent tooth loss through a structured three-phase care plan.

The clinic operates an on-site modern dental laboratory and features a network of 120+ dentists and hygienists with specialized training in periodontology.

Advanced periodontal diagnostics

Precision is vital for assessing bone loss and pocket depth. The clinic uses digital imaging to create a detailed map of the infection. Patients receive an initial examination, which is covered by insurance for those with valid contracts. For private pay patients, an initial exam is around $90. Available imaging includes:

• Intraoral X-ray. These small, detailed images of individual teeth may cost around $10.
• Panoramic X-ray (OPG). This provides a full view of the mouth for about $40.
• CBCT full mouth scan. This 3D imaging provides the most detail for about $90.
• CBCT quadrant or single jaw. Focused scans of specific areas range from $60 to $70.

Treatment and deep cleaning

The primary non-surgical treatment for active gum disease is deep curettage, also known as scaling and root planing. Hygienists use the modern Vector ultrasonic system along with hand instruments to reach deep into periodontal pockets. This process removes bacterial biofilm and calculus from the tooth roots. This treatment typically requires several visits over the first three months to reduce inflammation and stabilize the gums.

Professional hygiene and maintenance

Maintaining health after treatment is essential to prevent the recurrence of infection. Professional hygiene sessions take about 45 to 60 minutes. The clinic also schedules follow-up check-ups every three to six months to monitor gum health. Professional dental hygiene costs around $100 and includes:

• Consultation with a hygienist. A review of current gum health and plaque levels.
• Ultrasonic scaling. A tool that uses vibrations to break up hard deposits.
• Air Flow cleaning. A method using air and powder to remove stains and biofilm.
• Polishing and instruction. Smoothing the tooth surface and learning the best home care techniques.
