First, we measure gum health
Gum disease is a foundation problem, not just a cleaning issue.
We check bleeding, pocket depths, recession, bone support, plaque, and tartar before deciding whether you need routine hygiene or deeper periodontal care.
Cosmetic work, implants, aligners, and restorations all last better when inflammation is controlled.
Gum disease can progress without much pain. Treating it early helps protect the bone and tissues that hold teeth in place.
Treatment aims to reduce bacteria, control inflammation, and create a maintenance routine you can actually follow.
Gum disease can progress quietly because it often causes little pain until support is already reduced.
Good fit or not?
Gum treatment is needed when the support around teeth is inflamed or changing.
We use the consultation to confirm whether gum disease treatment is the right route, or whether another step should happen first.
Usually suitable when
Your gums bleed regularly.
You have gum recession, loose-feeling teeth, or bad taste.
A dentist has mentioned pockets, bone loss, or periodontal disease.
You need gum stability before implants, aligners, or cosmetic dentistry.
We may treat something first when
A standard polish is not enough if deposits sit below the gumline.
Smoking, diabetes, or medical factors may need extra risk planning.
Severe mobility or advanced bone loss may require specialist referral.

What happens step by step
Start with the real concern
Your gum assessment focuses on where inflammation is active, how much support the teeth have, and what home care will realistically help.
Chart
Pocket measurements show where gum support has changed.
Debride
Bacteria and deposits below the gumline are removed where needed.
Maintain
A recall plan helps keep inflammation from returning.
Deep Cleaning
We remove bacteria from below the gumline where brushes can't reach.
Laser Therapy
Advanced laser treatment sterilizes the area and promotes rapid healing.
Maintenance
A tailored plan to keep your gums healthy for life.
Aftercare and maintenance
We give you instructions specific to gum disease treatment so you know what to expect after treatment.

Aftercare
How to protect the result
Use interdental brushes exactly where shown.
Expect some tenderness after deeper cleaning.
Do not skip maintenance visits once gums stabilize.
Tell us if bleeding returns between appointments.
Avoid smoking because it worsens gum healing.
Keep diabetes or medical factors controlled where relevant.
Cost factors
Gum treatment cost depends on pocket depth, tartar level, X-rays, number of areas treated, medication needs, and maintenance frequency.
