Biological periodontal therapy for healthier gums.
A gentle, microbiome-aware way to treat gum disease near Lübeck - calming inflammation with ozone and PRF, preserving your natural teeth, and protecting the whole body they belong to.
01 What it is
Gum disease, treated with the whole body in mind.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. Left unchecked, it quietly deepens the pockets around each tooth, dissolves supporting bone and is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults - often with very few early warning signs.
Biological periodontal therapy treats it differently. Rather than relying on force alone, we work with the mouth's ecology: managing the bacterial biofilm gently, disinfecting with ozone and laser, and supporting the body's own healing. The aim is not just cleaner pockets, but a calmer, more stable mouth - and one less source of inflammation for the rest of you.
- Minimally invasive, tissue-preserving technique - your own teeth come first.
- Ozone and laser-assisted disinfection instead of routine antibiotics.
- Microbiome-aware: we rebalance, not just scrub.
- Metal-free, biocompatible materials throughout.
02 Why it matters
Your gums talk
to the rest of you.
Periodontitis is not only a dental problem. Because it is a constant, low-grade inflammation, it has been linked to cardiovascular disease and to the difficulty of keeping diabetes well controlled. Settling the gums is one of the most worthwhile things you can do for whole-body health.
Treat the gums, and you quiet a source of inflammation for everything they connect to.
03 The toolkit
Gentle methods, working together.
Each tool earns its place by being kind to your tissues and to your physiology. We combine them to suit your situation rather than applying the same recipe to everyone.
Medical ozone
Ozone disinfects deep periodontal pockets and supports healing without reaching for routine antibiotics.
02PRF - platelet-rich fibrin
A concentrate made from your own blood that releases growth factors to encourage soft-tissue and, where indicated, bone regeneration.
03Precise 3D diagnostics
Low-radiation CBCT imaging maps bone levels and anatomy, so treatment is planned rather than guessed.
04Microbiome & nutrition support
Rebalancing the oral flora and supporting the nutrients tissue needs to repair, so results last beyond the chair.
04 What to expect
From first visit to firmer gums.
Diagnosis
We measure pocket depths, check bleeding and bone levels, and - where helpful - assess the bacteria driving the disease.
Gentle cleaning
Careful, minimally invasive removal of biofilm and deposits below the gumline, under local anaesthetic for comfort.
Disinfect & heal
Ozone and laser-assisted disinfection settle the pockets; PRF supports regeneration where it is indicated.
Maintenance
A tailored recall and home-care plan - plus microbiome and nutrition guidance - to keep the result stable.
05 Who it is for
Is this approach right for you?
Biological periodontal therapy suits anyone who wants their gum treatment to be gentle, tooth-preserving and mindful of the whole body. It is often the right path if you recognise yourself here:
- Gums that bleed when brushing, feel tender, or have started to recede.
- Persistent bad breath or a taste that brushing does not fix.
- Teeth that feel slightly loose, or that have shifted over time.
- A diagnosis of periodontitis you would rather treat without routine antibiotics.
- A wish to protect ceramic implants or restorations by keeping the gums healthy.
06 Questions
Good to know about gum therapy.
It is a gentle, whole-body approach to gum disease. Instead of relying only on aggressive scaling, we manage the bacterial biofilm carefully, calm inflammation with ozone and laser-assisted disinfection, support healing with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) where useful, and address the oral microbiome and nutrition - with the goal of preserving your natural teeth.
Most non-surgical gum therapy is carried out under local anaesthesia and is well tolerated. Because the technique is minimally invasive and tissue-friendly, many patients describe it as far gentler than they expected. We work at your pace and explain every step beforehand.
Inflammation can be calmed and the gums can become firm and healthy again, and in many cases the supporting tissues stabilise. Bone and gum that have already been lost do not regrow on their own, but with regenerative techniques such as PRF and guided tissue regeneration we can support healing in suitable cases. The earlier treatment begins, the better the outcome.
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation, and research has linked it to conditions including cardiovascular disease and difficulties controlling diabetes. Treating the gums biologically aims to reduce that ongoing inflammatory burden, which is why a holistic, whole-body perspective matters.
Yes. The practice at Hauptstraße 50 in Bad Schwartau, near Lübeck, welcomes English-speaking and international patients, and consultation and treatment can be carried out in English. You can read more about our wider approach on the biological dentistry page.
