Periodontal and Gum Treatment

• Bleeding, Swollen or Receding Gums: Bleeding when brushing or flossing is a telltale sign of gum inflammation indicating bacterial infection.
• Persistent Bad Breath: Bad breath, or halitosis, often arises when bacteria build up on the back of the tongue or in gum pockets created by receding gums.
• Loose or Separating Teeth: Untreated gum infection destroys connective tissue and bone holding teeth firmly in their sockets. Teeth loosen, drift out of alignment and may even detach and fall out.
• Changes in Tooth Alignment: With deteriorating bone and connective tissue attachment, teeth begin to shift out of their original positions, negatively impacting bites and smiles.
• Pus Around Teeth and Gums: Pus contains high levels of inflammatory chemicals and dead white blood cells killed by gum infection.
• Bone and Gum Tissue Loss: As the infection spreads under the gums, it triggers chronic inflammation, destroying connective fibres attaching gums to teeth.
• Systemic Links to Other Diseases: Research now confirms periodontal disease raises risks for serious systemic conditions like heart attack, stroke, diabetes complications and respiratory infections…

• Mild, Moderate or Severe Gum Disease
  Whether you have early signs like gum bleeding and sensitivity, or loose teeth and advanced bone loss, we customise treatment based on your disease state. The key is intervening before irreversible changes occur. Together, we can halt further progression.
• Gum Recession Affecting Tooth Roots
  Root exposure causes sensitivity, decay risk and aesthetic issues. Gum grafting re-establishes protective tissue coverage.
• Ongoing Oral Infections and Inflammation
  Infection fuels inflammation, destroying connective fibres and bone. Once we comprehensively reduce your oral microbial burden, inflammation subsides, allowing tissues to regenerate.
• Loose, Shifting or Missing Teeth
  Regenerating lost bone and connective tissue fibres re-stabilizes the foundation for loose or migrated teeth. We splint teeth needing immobilisation during healing. Where teeth are already missing, ridge preservation procedures maintain bone volume so quality implants or bridgework remains possible to restore your smile.
• Unhealthy Smiles Due to Gum Issues
  Gum loss and recession lead to long tooth crowns prone to fracture, temperature sensitivity and decay at the exposed root. Gum grafting restores pleasing proportions, gum health and teeth functionality for sustained oral wellness. A beautiful smile involves the optimal interplay of both gums and teeth.
