Periodontics
We care for the health of your gums and the bone that supports your teeth. Diagnosis, treatment and maintenance of gingivitis and periodontitis to preserve your smile for the long term.
Gum health as the foundation
Periodontics is the speciality that looks after the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth: the gums, the ligament and the bone. When these tissues become inflamed through a build-up of plaque and tartar, conditions such as gingivitis appear and, in more advanced stages, periodontitis, which can ultimately compromise how firmly the tooth is held in place.
Treating these conditions in good time is key to preserving your teeth and avoiding problems such as bleeding, sensitivity or receding gums. At your first visit we carry out a full periodontal assessment to evaluate the state of your mouth and design a personalised treatment plan.
Why caring for your gums matters
- Stops bleeding and inflammation of the gums.
- Helps you keep your natural teeth over the long term.
- Improves your breath and that fresh feeling in your mouth.
- Halts the loss of bone that holds your teeth in place.
- A healthy mouth has a positive effect on your overall wellbeing.
The step-by-step process
An orderly, careful treatment, from diagnosis through to maintenance.
Periodontal assessment
We examine your gums, measure the periodontal pockets and assess the bone to gain a precise understanding of the state of your mouth.
Treatment
We carry out a deep clean that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line, halting the progression of the disease.
Maintenance
We schedule regular check-ups and teach you hygiene routines to keep your gums healthy over time.
Answering your questions about periodontics
Why are my gums bleeding?
Bleeding is usually a sign of inflammation caused by a build-up of plaque and tartar. It is the first warning sign of gingivitis and it is best assessed as soon as possible to stop it from progressing.
Can periodontitis be cured?
Periodontitis is controlled and stabilised with treatment and good maintenance. The aim is to halt its progression and preserve your teeth with regular check-ups.
Is periodontal treatment painful?
It is a comfortable procedure carried out with a local anaesthetic when needed. We work without rushing and with your wellbeing as our priority at every session.
