Periodontal Treatments
Catering to a diverse range of periodontal needs, our clinic offers a comprehensive array of specialised treatments aimed at restoring and preserving optimal oral health.

From advanced gum disease interventions to cutting-edge implant therapies, our range of treatments is designed to address various periodontal conditions.
Periodontal Treatments
Our specialised periodontal treatment aims to preserve pain-free and functional teeth by meticulously cleaning the pockets surrounding both your natural teeth and implants. This process helps to halt or slow down the damage to the supportive gum and bone structures. Achieving successful periodontal treatment is greatly enhanced when coupled with a daily regimen of excellent, professionally customised oral care and cessation of tobacco use.
Aesthetic Dental Surgery
Patients have access to a range of treatments for enhancing the aesthetics of their mouth and smiles. These improvements not only boost confidence but also influence one’s daily life. In the realm of dental care, periodontists can be likened to Cosmetic/Plastic Surgeons, emphasising their role in refining and enhancing oral aesthetics.
Dental Bone Graft
In cases where insufficient bone exists for a dental implant or bridge, augmenting additional bone in the jaw becomes necessary. Factors such as tooth loss from gum disease, injury, cavities, or infection can contribute to bone loss over time. Bone grafting facilitates the possibility of a dental implant procedure by replenishing the needed bone structure.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are synthetic metal roots surgically inserted into the jawbone. Following a healing period, artificial teeth known as crowns or bridges are affixed onto the implant(s). As the bone and gum fuse around the implant, providing stability, their care requires regular professional check-ups and meticulous patient cleaning techniques to preserve these delicate tissues properly.
Multi-Disciplinary Approach
Multidisciplinary dental treatment involves a collaborative team of specialists and general dentists working together to diagnose and treat complex dental conditions that demand multiple therapeutic procedures. Occasionally, medical specialists also contribute to this comprehensive approach.
Anxiety & Pain Management
Many individuals fear visiting the dentist or dental specialists, often opting out of necessary treatments, risking their health due to
this anxiety.
If you find yourself in this situation, our clinic offers various pain and anxiety management options to assist and treat you effectively.

Maintenance & Recalls
After undergoing active periodontal and implant therapy, it is crucial to maintain and monitor your dental status and condition as needed. This phase may necessitate maintenance therapy and additional treatments to ensure continued oral health.
