Gum disease treatment

The foundation every smile stands on.

Plan and price first

Nothing begins until you agree to it.

Unhurried visits

Time to ask everything you want to ask.

HMO accepted

Nine partner health plans, billed for you.

Gentle by default

Say you're nervous and we pace it to you.

Bleeding when you brush is not normal. It is the earliest, most fixable sign of gum disease, which left alone quietly becomes the biggest cause of adult tooth loss. Caught early, treatment is quick and painless: a deep professional clean below the gum line that stops the bleeding, steadies loose teeth, and protects the bone your smile is built on.

This is for you if

  • Your gums bleed when you brush or floss
  • Your gums look red, swollen, or receding
  • Teeth feel slightly loose, or your breath has changed

Step by step

How it works

  1. 1

    Gum assessment

    We measure the health of your gums point by point and show you exactly where the trouble is, no vague warnings.

  2. 2

    Deep cleaning

    Scaling below the gum line removes the hardened deposits your toothbrush can't reach, done comfortably and thoroughly.

  3. 3

    The six-week review

    We re-measure the very same points, so you can see the numbers moving in the right direction instead of taking our word for it.

  4. 4

    Keep it won

    A simple home routine plus scheduled maintenance visits keeps your gums tight, pink, and quiet for good.

Measured point by point

We chart the pocket depth around every tooth with a probe like this one. It is how we prove the treatment worked, rather than asking you to take our word for it.

Honest answers

My gums only bleed a little. Is that really a problem?

A little bleeding is an early warning, and early is exactly when treatment is easiest. Waiting is what turns a quick clean into a long fight.

Is deep cleaning painful?

We numb the area where needed. Most patients describe it as odd rather than painful, and gums feel dramatically better within days.

Can gum disease be cured?

Early gum disease, gingivitis, reverses completely. Once it has reached the bone it can be stopped and controlled rather than undone, which is exactly why we push so hard on catching it early.

How many visits will I need?

Most people need one or two cleaning visits and a review six weeks later. More advanced cases are treated one quarter of the mouth at a time so nothing is rushed.

Will my teeth be sensitive afterwards?

Often for a week or two, because the roots are freshly clean. A sensitive-teeth toothpaste handles it, and the feeling settles as the gums tighten back.

Does gum disease cause bad breath?

Very often, yes. It is one of the first things we check in the Breath Clinic, and treating the gums frequently solves the breath at the same time.
