Periodontal Treatment in South Kensington

Advanced Gum Care to Protect Your Smile for Life

Your gums do more than hold your teeth in place—they’re the foundation of your entire oral health. When gums become infected or inflamed, it can lead to discomfort, tooth loss, and even affect your overall health.

At South Kensington Dental Clinic, we offer comprehensive periodontal treatment to prevent, manage, and reverse gum disease. With expert care, advanced technology, and personalised plans, we help restore the health of your gums and protect your smile long-term.

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal (gum) disease is a progressive condition that affects the tissues and bone supporting your teeth. It usually begins as gingivitis—a mild inflammation of the gums—and can advance to periodontitis, where gum tissue pulls away from the teeth and bone loss occurs.

Common signs of periodontal disease:

  • Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
  • Swollen, red, or tender gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Gum recession (teeth appearing longer)
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Pus between teeth and gums
  • Pain when chewing

The earlier it’s caught, the easier it is to treat—and the more damage we can prevent.

Don’t ignore the signs.

Periodontal Treatment Process

Here’s what to expect during your gum treatment journey at South Kensington Dental Clinic:

1. Gum Health Examination

We assess your gums using a periodontal probe and measure the depth of pockets around each tooth.

2. Diagnosis and Planning

We determine the stage of your gum disease and create a treatment plan tailored to your condition—whether mild gingivitis or more advanced periodontitis.

3. Non-Surgical Treatment

In most cases, we begin with scaling and root planing—a deep clean beneath the gum line that removes tartar, smooths root surfaces, and allows gums to heal.

4. Additional Therapies

Depending on your needs, we may apply antibacterial gels, prescribe antibiotics, or recommend laser treatment for precision cleaning and regeneration.

5. Review and Maintenance

We monitor your healing and may recommend regular periodontal maintenance visits to keep your gums healthy and prevent future issues.

It’s never too late to save your smile - start with a professional evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

In its early stage (gingivitis), gum disease is reversible with professional cleaning and good home care. Advanced periodontitis can be managed and stabilised with treatment.

We use local anaesthetic when needed and offer gentle, modern techniques. Most patients feel minimal discomfort during or after the procedure.

It depends on the severity. Deep cleaning may take one to two sessions, while more advanced care could require several visits over a few months.

Gums won’t regenerate on their own, but treatment stops further recession. In some cases, we may recommend gum grafting to restore lost tissue.

Our experienced general dentists handle most periodontal cases in-house. If you require complex surgical care, we’ll refer you to a trusted periodontist.
