Specialist care for healthy gums and long-term stability

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 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.

Implant-Related Periodontal Care

Specialist gum and bone care supports both the planning and long-term success of dental implants, particularly in complex cases.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited the surgery today for a checkup with Saul. The premises are welcoming, modern and comfortable and I felt immediately at ease as soon as I walked through the door. Saul was very thorough, took a complete medical history along with X-rays and gave me a very comprehensive explanation of the examination, along with an emailed copy. I am very happy to recommend Centennial Dental.

He found the cause of my pain- my previous dentist was not able to!

Lovely staff and I would happily recommend everyone to Saul & Richard.

The dental surgery is modern & relaxed.   Not bad coffee either :)

Give them a try- you won't be disappointed

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After my lifelong dentist retired, my husband, son, and I were recommended Centennial Park Dental, and we’re so glad we made the switch.
The practice is beautiful, modern, and welcoming. Saul has been fantastic thorough, knowledgeable, and always happy to take the time to explain everything clearly. He has raised aspects of our dental health that had never been discussed before, which has been incredibly helpful.
He has also been wonderful with our son, making him feel completely at ease during his appointments. We couldn’t be happier with the care we’ve received and would highly recommend Centennial Park Dental.
