Periodontologist Lyon:
A team of experts at the service of your smile
Studio Paro is a periodontal practice in Lyon 3rd for the treatment of periodontal disease.
Founded in 2021 by Dr. Hervé Touati, Dr. Romane Touati, Ms. Mina Ksibi, a dental assistant, and Mr. Zacharie Chebance, a Mines de Paris engineer, our structure was born of the desire to better care for people suffering from periodontitis within the Lyon region, and to lend a hand to our colleagues by enabling them to optimize patient care without impacting their diaries.
The practice brings together a team of periodontologists in Lyon to offer tailor-made support to patients, with the emphasis on a holistic, human approach to long-term rehabilitation. Our approach? To restore our patients’ confidence and involve them fully in the success of their treatment program from the very first appointment.

“I’ve always had a passion for the medical field. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dr Hervé Touati for 21 years now. During all these years, I have never ceased to evolve both professionally and personally. For me, my encounter with Dr Touati Hervé remains one of the most beautiful, because we have succeeded in creating a real cocoon within the practice, where life is good.
I provide genuine support to patients, advising them on local care to be implemented prior to their periodontal treatment. In addition to the high quality care we can provide our patients, I strive to give them an authentic and unique experience, so that they can simply smile again while keeping their teeth.

Periodontics has played a central role in my practice for almost thirty years now.
Over the years, and through my training with periodontics experts, I have developed a therapeutic approach characterized by humanity, attentiveness and kindness, placing the patient at the heart of his or her own treatment. Stopping the loosening of teeth, preventing recurrence and enabling my patients to keep their teeth for the very long term is at the heart of my professional commitment.
We decided to share this experience with as many patients as possible and founded Studio Paro, an original structure entirely dedicated to the treatment of periodontitis.

A graduate of the Faculty of Dentistry in Lyon, I have been working with Dr. Hervé Touati’s team since 2019. Passionate about my profession, periodontology has naturally become an increasingly important part of my practice.
My priority is to enable my patients to regain confidence and comfort in their mouths, by combining technical excellence with high-quality human relations.
Convinced that a beautiful smile begins with healthy gums, we decided to create a structure dedicated to periodontal care: Studio Paro.

After a few years as an executive in national and international cultural organizations, I finally decided to pursue a career as a dental surgeon.
As a graduate of the University of Odontology in Lyon, I have made periodontology the focus of my practice, a specialty in which listening and support are key factors for success.
Helping to restore periodontal health also means working to improve the overall well-being of the patient, whom I consider to be a true partner in my care.
Alongside my work at the practice, I am currently a University Hospital Assistant: I supervise students in training, give lectures at the university and take part in
research projects.

Our philosophy as periodontics specialists
Many French people go to the dentist for occasional treatment, and are unaware of symptoms that appear “ordinary” due to a lack of information. Foremost among these is occasional or regular bleeding of the gums, which most people have already experienced in the course of their lives.
These symptoms, typical of periodontal disease, are often overlooked, and can progress from mild to periodontitis, leading to progressive loosening of the teeth and other health problems, and ultimately to tooth loss if left untreated.
When symptoms become visible, those affected often feel a loss of confidence, not only because of the unsightly consequences on their smile, but also because of the prejudices surrounding this little-known dental disease. For many, periodontitis is linked to a poor lifestyle. However, we now know that multiple causes can play a role in the onset and evolution of the disease (genetics, medication, health problems, pregnancy…).
As periodontists in Lyonour aim is to help you regain your confidence (and your smile) over the long term. We don’t just offer you a tailor-made treatment program to thoroughly clean up your periodontal pockets and halt the progression of periodontitis: we maintain regular follow-up care, at the necessary frequency, after periodontal treatment, to prevent recurrence.
Take charge of your health!
When you come to our periodontics practice in Lyon, we make you an integral part of the team, so that you become a full player in your own health.
This includes a detailed presentation of periodontal diseases and brushing techniques, as well as complete transparency about your situation and precise answers to all your questions.
We show you under the microscope the bacteria that live in your mouth and are responsible for periodontitis, as well as the bone loss on x-rays of your teeth, before determining the number of treatment sessions needed to stop the disease and strengthen the attachment of your teeth.
Finally, our periodontal dental surgeons offer you a warm welcome right from your first appointment. Establishing a bond of trust with each and every one of our patients is just as important to us as the treatment itself. That’s why we’ve created an atmosphere of well-being on our premises, which we’ve designed as a cocoon where everyone can flourish.
Going to the dentist is rarely a pleasant experience for many of our patients, so it was important to us to make it as pleasant as possible for you, thanks to the caring and active listening of every member of our team, from dental assistants to periodontal dentistsand our secretary.
