Treatments

Stopping gum disease before it costs you teeth.

A staged, evidence-based course of non-surgical treatment to bring active gum disease under control.

What It Is

Treatment without surgery.

Non-surgical periodontal therapy, sometimes called deep cleaning or root surface debridement, is the foundation of periodontal care. The aim is to remove the bacterial biofilm and hardened deposits from beneath the gum line, allowing inflamed tissues to heal and the pockets around the teeth to shrink.

Who It Is For

Gum disease at any stage.

Patients with gingivitis or periodontitis at any stage. For most people with gum disease, this is the first, and often the only, active treatment needed, followed by regular maintenance to keep the disease under control.

What to Expect

A measured, staged pathway.

01
Initial diagnostic appointment
Full periodontal charting and radiographs where appropriate.
02
One or two treatment sessions
Carried out under local anaesthetic, so the treatment itself should not be painful. Teeth and gums can feel tender or sensitive for a few days afterwards.
03
Re-evaluation
A review appointment six to eight weeks later to measure the response to treatment.
04
Personalised maintenance
A tailored maintenance plan, usually shared with your own dentist and hygienist.
Results

Stopping disease progression.

For many patients, thorough non-surgical therapy, combined with good daily cleaning at home, stops the disease progressing, reduces bleeding and avoids the need for surgery. Where surgery is still needed, this stage gives the best starting point for it.
