Our Periodontal Treatments
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum Disease Treatment is designed to manage and eliminate the bacteria responsible for gum disease, helping to restore healthy gums and prevent further damage to the supporting bone around your teeth. Early stages of gum disease, known as gingivitis, can often be reversed with professional treatment and improved oral hygiene. More advanced periodontal disease requires specialised care to control infection, reduce inflammation, and preserve your natural teeth.
Our team will carry out a thorough periodontal assessment before recommending a personalised treatment plan tailored to the severity of your condition.
Deep Cleaning
Deep Cleaning is an effective treatment for patients with moderate to advanced gum disease. This non-surgical procedure involves carefully removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gum line while smoothing the tooth roots to encourage the gums to heal and reattach to the teeth.
This treatment helps reduce gum inflammation, minimise periodontal pockets, and slow the progression of gum disease. The treatment is performed using modern techniques and local anaesthesia where required to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Periodontal Maintenance
Following successful treatment, Periodontal Maintenance appointments are essential for keeping gum disease under control and protecting your long-term oral health. These regular visits involve professional cleaning, monitoring of gum health, measurement of periodontal pockets, and personalised oral hygiene advice.
Ongoing periodontal maintenance helps prevent the recurrence of infection and allows any changes in your gum health to be identified and managed at an early stage.
Gum Grafting
Gum Grafting is a surgical procedure used to restore gum tissue that has receded due to gum disease, aggressive brushing, or other factors. Receding gums can expose the tooth roots, leading to increased sensitivity, a higher risk of decay, and concerns about the appearance of your smile.
During gum grafting, healthy tissue is carefully placed over the exposed root surfaces to improve gum coverage, protect the teeth, and enhance the overall appearance of your smile. This treatment can also help reduce tooth sensitivity and support long-term gum health.
Crown Lengthening
Crown Lengthening is a procedure that reshapes the gum tissue and, when necessary, the underlying bone to expose more of the natural tooth structure. It may be recommended for restorative purposes when there is insufficient tooth structure to support a filling or crown.
Every crown lengthening procedure is carefully planned to achieve both functional and aesthetic results while preserving the health of the surrounding tissues.
Gum Recession Treatment
Gum Recession Treatment addresses gums that have gradually pulled away from the teeth, exposing the tooth roots. Gum recession may occur as a result of periodontal disease, excessive brushing force, teeth grinding, or natural ageing.
Treatment focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying cause while protecting the exposed tooth surfaces. Depending on your individual needs, treatment may include professional periodontal therapy, improved oral hygiene guidance, or gum grafting to restore lost gum tissue and improve both comfort and appearance.
