Periodontal Care: Protecting Your Foundations

At our clinic, we believe that healthy gums are the foundation of a beautiful, lasting smile. While many people focus on the appearance of their teeth, the health of the supporting tissues—the gums and bone—is just as vital.

What is Periodontics?

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to the health of the structures that support your teeth. Our specialist treatments focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating periodontal disease (gum disease) and placing dental implants when necessary.

Why is Gum Health Important?

Gum disease is often « silent, » meaning it can progress without pain until it reaches an advanced stage. Left untreated, it can lead to:

• Persistent bad breath (halitosis)

• Receding gums and tooth sensitivity

• Loose teeth or eventual tooth loss

• Links to wider health issues, such as heart disease and diabetes

Our Approach to Treatment

We offer a range of treatments tailored to your specific needs, from deep cleaning and maintenance to advanced surgical procedures:

1. Periodontal Assessment: A thorough examination of your gum health and bone levels.

2. Scaling and Root Planing: A deep clean to remove plaque and tartar (calculus) from beneath the gum line.

3. Ongoing Maintenance: Personalised oral hygiene plans to help you manage your gum health at home.

4. Specialist Referrals: For complex cases, we provide expert care to restore the health of your smile.

Don’t wait for pain to take action. If you have noticed bleeding when brushing, swollen gums, or persistent bad breath, we are here to help.
