Warning signs include bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, or changes in how your teeth fit together. Even without obvious symptoms, regular dental check-ups can detect early signs of periodontal disease before they progress.
Our approach prioritises your comfort. We use precise local anaesthesia and offer sedation options for more extensive procedures. Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment and manageable sensitivity afterwards that resolves quickly.
Treatment duration varies based on your specific condition. Initial non-surgical therapy typically requires 1-2 appointments. More advanced cases may need a series of visits over several months. We design efficient treatment schedules that respect your time commitments.
Early gingivitis is reversible with proper treatment. More advanced periodontitis can be effectively managed but requires ongoing maintenance. Our goal is to stabilise your condition, eliminate active infection, and establish a maintenance protocol that prevents recurrence.
Our specialists maintain certifications with international periodontal organisations and regularly participate in advanced continuing education. We use diagnostic and treatment protocols aligned with leading global institutions and employ the same advanced technologies found in premier clinics worldwide.
