What is Periodontal Therapy?
Periodontal (gum) disease is a serious condition that, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. Our periodontal therapy goes deeper than regular hygiene to treat infection and inflammation below the gum line.
After treatment, maintaining results requires commitment to regular Hygiene appointments — typically every 3-4 months for periodontal patients.
Stop Disease Progression
Deep cleaning halts the damage caused by bacteria and prevents further bone loss.
Save Your Teeth
Early intervention can prevent tooth loss by treating infection before irreversible damage occurs.
Improve Overall Health
Treating gum disease reduces inflammation linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions.
Your Treatment Journey
Signature Clinical Assessment
Detailed gum measurements, X-rays, and assessment of bone levels to determine disease severity.
Meticulous Diagnostic Mapping: We utilise calibrated periodontal probes to measure gum pocket depths with millimetre precision, establishing a detailed clinical baseline for your specialised therapy.
Deep Cleaning (Root Surface Debridement)
Under local anaesthetic, we clean deep into the gum pockets to remove bacteria and calculus from root surfaces.
Advanced Ultrasonic Debridement: We utilise active cavitation technology to painlessly disrupt bacteria and remove deep-seated calculus from beneath the gum line.
Healing Phase
Your gums are given time to heal and reattach to the clean tooth surfaces.
Review Appointment
We reassess gum health and pocket depths to evaluate treatment success.
Maintenance Programme
Regular maintenance appointments (typically every 3 months) to prevent recurrence.
Long-Term Foundation Health: Our goal is to restore and maintain the firm, healthy, and resilient gum tissue required to support your natural teeth for a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions
We use local anaesthetic to ensure your complete comfort during deep cleaning. Most patients report the procedure is much easier than expected.
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can be fully reversed with professional treatment and improved home care. Advanced periodontitis can be controlled and stabilised, but requires ongoing maintenance to prevent recurrence.
This depends on the severity of your condition. Typically, deep cleaning is completed in 2-4 sessions, followed by a healing period of 4-6 weeks and a review appointment to assess your response to treatment.
Untreated gum disease progressively destroys the bone and tissue supporting your teeth, eventually leading to tooth loss. It is also linked to increased risk of heart disease, diabetes complications, and other systemic health issues.
While treatment stops further damage and allows inflammation to subside, lost gum tissue and bone do not fully regenerate on their own. In some cases, grafting procedures can help restore lost tissue if aesthetics are a concern.
Common signs include bleeding when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, red or swollen gums, receding gumlines, and loose teeth. However, gum disease often progresses painlessly, so regular dental check-ups are essential for early detection.
