What Is Periodontics?
Periodontics is the field of dentistry that deals with the structures supporting your teeth, mainly your gums and the bone around your teeth. The most common condition we treat is periodontal (gum) disease, which can range from mild inflammation to serious infection that damages bone and tissue.

Our Periodontal Services
Gum Disease Treatment
We offer personalised treatment for all stages of gum disease—from gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Our focus is on halting the progression and preserving your natural teeth.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
This non-surgical treatment removes plaque and tartar below the gum line and smooths the root surfaces, allowing gums to reattach and heal. Often completed over multiple visits for optimal comfort.
Periodontal Maintenance
After gum disease treatment, regular maintenance visits are essential. These appointments go beyond standard cleanings to keep bacteria in check and monitor gum health long-term.
Recession Monitoring & Soft Tissue Care
We monitor gum recession and thinning, offering guidance or treatment options if it begins to affect your comfort, tooth stability, or appearance.
Digital X-Rays for Bone Health
We use digital imaging to assess bone levels and track any changes, which helps us detect and treat periodontitis early.

Our Treatment Process
Consultation – We start with a detailed assessment of your gums, checking for signs of gum disease, recession, or inflammation. We’ll also discuss any symptoms you’ve been experiencing, like bleeding gums or sensitivity.
Preparation – Using digital X-rays and periodontal charting, we customise a treatment plan based on the severity of your gum condition. This may include deep cleaning, maintenance, or specialist referral if needed.
Treatment – We perform periodontal therapy such as scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), removing plaque and bacteria from below the gumline. Our focus is on halting disease progression while keeping you comfortable.
- Aftercare –Long-term gum health requires ongoing care. We provide personalised aftercare advice and schedule regular periodontal maintenance visits to prevent recurrence and support healing.
