Do your gums bleed, do you have bad breath or do your teeth look longer? We treat gingivitis, periodontitis and gum recession.
It is an infection of the tissues that support the teeth: the gum and the bone. It usually starts with a build-up of bacterial plaque and progresses silently, without pain.
Healthy gums don't bleed. If yours bleed when you brush or floss, it's a sign of inflammation that should be checked as soon as possible.
| Gingivitis | Periodontitis | |
|---|---|---|
| What it affects | Only the gum | The gum and the bone holding the tooth |
| Symptoms | Red, swollen, bleeding gums | Also: bad breath, recession and loose teeth |
| Reversible? | Yes, with cleaning and good hygiene | It can be stopped, but lost bone doesn't grow back by itself |
| Treatment | Professional cleaning | Scaling and root planing, sometimes surgery |
We remove plaque and tartar above the gum line. It's the basis for treating gingivitis.
A deep cleaning of the roots below the gum to remove bacteria and tartar.
In advanced cases, to reach deep areas and regenerate bone if needed.
Microsurgery that covers the exposed root with tissue from the palate. Improves appearance and reduces sensitivity.
Regular check-ups and cleanings to stop the disease from coming back.
Recession exposes the tooth root, which can cause sensitivity and decay. The most common causes are aggressive brushing, gum disease, bruxism and poorly controlled orthodontics.
With a gum graft we take tissue from another area of the mouth (usually the palate) and place it over the exposed root. Recovery is usually quick: the palate is sore for a few days and heals soon.
Every mouth is different, so we don't give fixed prices without seeing you. At the free first visit we explain your options and give you a written quote, with no obligation.
We offer tailored financing and work with the main dental insurers.

Google MapsNo. Healthy gums don't bleed. Bleeding usually indicates inflammation from bacterial plaque (gingivitis) and should be treated before it progresses.
Yes, at this stage it is reversible with a professional cleaning and good home hygiene.
It is done under local anaesthetic, so it doesn't hurt. Our treatments are gentle; there may be some sensitivity for a few days.
If untreated, yes: the infection destroys the bone that holds the teeth and they start to move. That's why early diagnosis matters.
As a general rule, we recommend a check-up every 6 months. If you've had periodontitis, we'll give you a specific maintenance schedule.
