Periodontology of Excellence.
Stable Tissues, Safer Results.
"Gums are not an aesthetic detail. They are the biological border that protects teeth, implants and the duration of the result."
When Periodontology Makes the Difference
Stable tissues, a clear diagnosis and consistent maintenance are at the heart of periodontal care. They help protect teeth, implants, crowns and aesthetic results over time, particularly when a problem is not yet obvious but is already compromising the stability of the supporting tissues.
Periodontal and Peri-Implant Maintenance
Before surgery there is a control of the biofilm, the quality of the decoys and the stability of the tissues.
Before the most demanding treatment
When the situation is initial or already stabilized, the decisive step is maintenance consistent with the patient's real risk. This is even more true if they are present systems, crowns, veneers or a rehabilitation that must remain cleanable and stable.
When indicated, the protocol incorporates EMS technology with AIRFLOW Prophylaxis Master to manage biofilm and staining more gently and precisely. The aim is straightforward: identify problems early and reduce the need for more invasive treatment, often starting at the first consultation.
Gingival Recessions and Mucogingival Surgery
When maintenance is not enough, surgery must be selective, well indicated and biologically coherent.
When Grafting Makes Sense
Connective tissue grafting is not a cosmetic shortcut. It is a procedure indicated when it is necessary to better protect an exposed root, increase the thickness and quality of the tissues or make the gum margin more stable.
Dr Giacomo Baima is an Active Member of SIdP and teaches on the University of Turin’s EFP-accredited postgraduate programme in Periodontology. Dr Gianluca Maria Buniato coordinates the overall plan when gum care overlaps with aesthetic dentistry, rehabilitation or implant treatment.
What Level of Intervention May Be Used
Advanced Maintenance
Recalls calibrated to the patient's real risk, with attention to gums, implants, restorations and tissue stability over time.
Causal Therapy
Inflammation control, targeted instructions, clinical reassessment and progression only when really needed.
Connective Graft
Selective procedure for cases in which root protection, gingival thickness and margin stability require mucogingival surgery.
Second Opinion
Critical analysis of diagnoses and plans already proposed to clarify priorities, alternatives and truly necessary steps.
Results
Case of gingival recession treated with connective tissue graft. The point is to restore protection, stability and harmony to the tissues.

Why Periodontology Matters Even if You Are Looking for Aesthetics, Implants or a Second Opinion
Many seemingly different paths have the same basis: stable tissues, correct diagnosis and serious maintenance. If this basis is missing, even prosthetic or aesthetic work becomes less predictable.
For this reason, in the Studio Buniato, periodontology is not a lateral discipline: it is the condition that makes the result more reliable over time.

Frequently Asked Questions about Periodontology
When is thorough periodontal maintenance enough?
When the clinical condition is stable but more thorough follow-up care is needed to manage biofilm and inflammation, or to monitor implants and restorations. Periodontal maintenance helps prevent an early problem from becoming more complex.
The dentists are professional and attentive to each patient’s particular sensitivities.

The practice has a very welcoming waiting room, and all the rooms are bright and clean. The staff are professional, and the reception team is well organised when it comes to information, appointments and email reminders for them. The dentists are professional and attentive to each patient’s particular sensitivities. In conclusion, I am fully satisfied with the treatment and the result achieved.
When is a dedicated periodontal assessment useful?
If you have bleeding gums, gum recession, sensitivity to cold, persistent bad breath, or concerns about the stability of implants and restorations. In these cases, a general check-up may not be enough.
He explains what he is doing and what you may feel before each step

I’m writing a little more than I usually would because I know how difficult it can be to find a dentist you genuinely feel comfortable with — especially when you are looking for treatment abroad. I came to Turin for dental treatment and honestly could not be happier that I found Dr. Buniato.
What impressed me from the beginning was how thorough and transparent everything was. He takes the time to do a proper assessment, with detailed images and analysis, and then explains clearly what is going on, what the different options are, which one he recommends and what each option would cost. You are never left in the dark or simply expected to trust that someone knows what is best for you. You understand what is being done, why it is being done and what to expect.
That same care continues throughout the treatment. He explains what he is doing and what you may feel before each step, so you are never caught by surprise. You can tell that he is incredibly precise and genuinely cares about getting every detail right.
And the result exceeded my expectations. I had virtually no pain afterwards, despite expecting quite the opposite. The work looks excellent, but even more importantly, it feels completely natural. After dental work, there is usually some adjustment period — you notice that something has changed, or your bite may feel different. With Dr. Buniato, I had none of that. Everything felt completely natural from the moment I left the chair.
I was also genuinely impressed by the technical standard of the practice. The equipment and technology are on a level I have rarely seen, and it is clear that they are used with real expertise rather than simply being there for show.
The whole team is warm, attentive and professional, and you get the feeling that they are willing to take the time needed to do things properly.
I would genuinely recommend Dr. Buniato to anyone looking for excellent dental care in Turin. I’m very happy I found him and will definitely be back for my future treatment.
Can gum recession always be corrected?
Not always in the same way, or with the same goal. In some cases, stabilising the tissues is enough; in others, a connective tissue graft is indicated to improve protection, tissue thickness and comfort.
From the very first appointment, I was impressed by the care and clarity with which solutions were proposed to me
Show less
I contacted Dr Gianluca Buniato’s dental practice for advice and a possible estimate to address my many complex dental problems. From the very first appointment, I was impressed by the care and clarity with which solutions were proposed to me, and I was soon able to see how effective they were. I feel I should thank Dr Buniato and his team not only for the professionalism with which they work in a dental practice using excellent technology, at very reasonable prices, but also for their ability to put patients at ease at all times.
Does periodontal care still matter if I already have implants, veneers or crowns?
Yes. The condition of the soft tissues affects how long the result lasts, how easily it can be kept clean, and its appearance. Periodontal and peri-implant maintenance therefore remains essential even after major treatment.
He works with great attention to patients’ needs.

I have known the Buniato dental practice for several years, after various experiences at other practices! I have always had a good experience: the doctor and his colleagues are knowledgeable, kind and precise. He has always advised me tactfully but professionally, and I must say that, although I am quite afraid of the dentist, I feel calm with him. He works with great attention to patients’ needs. Thank you again. Elisabetta
When is a second opinion useful?
When a significant surgical, implant or restorative treatment has already been proposed and you want to understand the priorities, alternatives and timing. Above all, a second opinion helps clarify what is really necessary and what is not.
