The foundation of a smile
Periodontology and gum health
A beautiful smile needs healthy tissues. Caring for gums protects teeth, implants and long-term results.
It is not about doing more.
It is about choosing wisely.
Periodontology prevents, diagnoses and treats diseases of the gums and tooth-supporting tissues. Ongoing care is part of treatment.
It may be considered for…
- Bleeding, inflamed or receding gums.
- Loose teeth, loss of support or a history of gum disease.
- People with implants or rehabilitations needing specific maintenance.
Understand first.
Then treat.
- 01
Examination
We assess periodontal health and identify risk factors.
- 02
Infection control
We address plaque, tartar and modifiable habits.
- 03
Reassessment
We check the response and decide whether further stages are needed.
- 04
Maintenance
We set review intervals according to individual risk.
Clinical judgement,
not promises.
- Treatment requires daily cooperation.
- Smoking and certain general health conditions have an influence.
- Maintenance frequency is not the same for everyone.
- Results and timings may vary according to diagnosis and individual response.
Before you decide.
How do you decide whether this treatment is suitable?
Suitability depends on a clinical assessment and, where appropriate, X-rays and photographs. More conservative alternatives are also considered before choosing a plan.
How long does treatment take?
The timeline varies with the starting point, complexity and each person's response. Your individual proposal sets out the stages, appointments and maintenance.
Can gum disease be present without pain?
Yes. It may develop with few symptoms; bleeding and changes in the gums deserve an assessment.
