Maintaining good dental health can reduce plaque and tartar deposits on the teeth, helping to prevent gum disease from progressing.
Our experts also perform advanced treatment procedures to help prevent the build-up of tartar and plaque.

Non-Surgical Gum Treatments
Scaling
Scaling is a more involved version of plaque removal performed during standard cleaning. It removes plaque from the tooth surface so the teeth and gums can recover from the presence of bacteria.
Deep Scale and Root Planing
Root planing works below the gum line to remove hidden plaque from the tooth root. It also smooths the root surface to make it harder for bacteria to attach.
Antibiotics
Antibiotics may be taken or applied to an infected area when bacteria have lodged deeply between teeth and gums. Tiny antibiotic packets may be placed in periodontal pockets.
Periodontal Surgery
After periodontal disease, your gum line may change. Gums may recede, pockets can form between teeth and gums, and your smile may look different.
Periodontal surgery is a general term for treatments that sculpt the gum line. Our aim is to balance tooth exposure and gum height so the smile looks healthy and harmonious.
Our periodontist offers cosmetic periodontal surgery, including modern techniques such as tunnelling where suitable.
We Offer an Extensive Range of Gum Treatments
- Bone grafts and augmentations
- Guided tissue regeneration
- Gummy smile correction
- Pocket reduction surgery
- Soft tissue grafting
Advanced Gum Treatment Options
Bone Grafts / Augmentations
This surgical procedure uses fragments of bone or synthetic bone as a substitute for bone destroyed by gum disease. Grafts can help restore stability and promote bone regrowth.
Guided Tissue Regeneration
This procedure may be used when bone supporting the teeth has been destroyed. It helps stimulate gum tissue and bone growth.
Gummy Smile Correction
If the gums cover too much tooth surface, our periodontist can remove excess gum tissue and reveal more of the healthy tooth beneath.
Pocket Reduction Surgery
After periodontal disease has healed, pocket reduction surgery may reduce pockets that once held plaque and help prevent reinfection.
Soft Tissue Graft
A soft tissue graft takes tissue from a healthy area of the mouth and connects it to the receding gum line. It can protect the tooth root and improve the appearance of the smile.
Receding Gums
Receding gums can expose tooth roots and make teeth look longer. Gum grafting may help protect the root and improve gum coverage.
