Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal treatment addresses diseases and conditions affecting the gums and supporting bone. Gum disease often develops silently and can progress without pain, making early diagnosis and specialist management essential.
Treatment is tailored to the severity of the condition, with a focus on controlling infection, reducing inflammation and protecting the long-term health of your teeth and implants.

Why Is Periodontal Treatment Important?

Untreated gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. It can also compromise the success of implants and other dental treatments.
Periodontal care helps to:
  • Control infection and inflammation
  • Prevent tooth and bone loss
  • Protect existing dental work and implants
  • Improve comfort, function and confidence
Early specialist intervention greatly improves long-term outcomes.

Types of Periodontal Treatments

Periodontal care is highly individual and depends on the extent of gum disease, bone loss and overall oral health.

Gum Disease Treatment (Periodontitis)

Treatment focuses on removing harmful bacteria from below the gumline, reducing inflammation and stabilising the supporting tissues around the teeth.

gum recession

Gum Recession Treatment

Specialist techniques are used to manage and, where appropriate, restore receding gums. This helps protect exposed tooth roots, improve comfort and enhance aesthetics.

Periodontal Maintenance

Ongoing maintenance is essential following treatment for gum disease. Regular reviews and professional cleaning help prevent recurrence and protect long-term gum health.
