About Periodontal Disease Services<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Periodontal treatment is designed to stop gum disease, restore healthy tissue, and protect the bone that supports your teeth. Whether you’re managing early gingivitis or advanced periodontitis, we begin with a comprehensive periodontal assessment \u2014 including probing depths and X-rays \u2014 and build a personalised treatment plan based on the stage, severity, and rate of progression of your condition. Treatment can help address bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth, while supporting long-term oral and general health, as gum disease is closely linked to diabetes, heart disease, and other systemic conditions. Throughout the process, we provide clear guidance, regular reviews, and a personalised maintenance program to ensure lasting results.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
What's the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums caused by plaque build-up \u2014 the earliest and fully reversible stage of gum disease. Periodontitis is the more advanced stage, where infection spreads below the gumline and destroys the bone supporting your teeth. Because bone loss is permanent, early diagnosis and treatment are critical.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Can periodontitis be cured?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

Periodontitis can’t be fully reversed \u2014 bone that has already been lost doesn’t grow back on its own \u2014 but it can be stabilised. With proper treatment and ongoing maintenance, we can stop disease progression, reduce pocket depths, and restore healthy gum tissue. Many patients keep their teeth for decades once the disease is controlled.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Is deep cleaning painful?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

Most patients tolerate scaling and root planing well. We perform the procedure under local anaesthesia so it’s comfortable, and any mild gum tenderness afterwards usually settles within a few days with over-the-counter pain relief. For anxious patients, we also offer IV sedation.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

How long does periodontal treatment take?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

Non-surgical treatment is typically completed across 1\u20132 visits, with a review 6\u20138 weeks later. If gum surgery is needed, allow one procedure plus 2\u20133 follow-ups. After active treatment, you’ll join a long-term maintenance program with visits every 3\u20134 months to keep the disease stable.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Can gum disease affect my overall health?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

Yes \u2014 research consistently links chronic periodontitis to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, respiratory conditions, and complications in pregnancy. Treating gum disease can improve blood sugar control and reduce systemic inflammation, which is why periodontal care is an important part of your overall health, not just your smile.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
