Advanced care
Periodontology
Specialist gum disease treatment, from non-surgical therapy to regenerative surgery and long-term maintenance.
What it is
Healthy gums, for the long term.
Periodontology is the care of the gums and the tissues that hold your teeth in place. Gum disease is common and often painless in its early stages, which is why it is easy to miss.
Treatment usually starts with a thorough assessment and a deep clean below the gumline. Some people need further treatment, and everyone benefits from regular maintenance afterwards.
You can come to us directly, or your dentist can refer you.

Common questions
Questions we’re often asked

Gum disease can usually be brought under control with treatment and good care at home, although it needs ongoing maintenance to stay stable. Your clinician will explain what to expect for you.
Deep cleaning is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, so most people find it comfortable. Your gums may feel tender for a few days afterwards.
No. You can contact us directly, or your dentist can refer you.
Yes. Smoking is a major risk factor for gum disease and can make treatment less effective. We can point you towards support to stop if you would like it.
