Periodontal Treatment London
Restore the health and strength of your gums without the need for invasive surgical procedures.
Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment London
At The London Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry, we’re proud to provide our patients with brilliant results for periodontal disease, using non-surgical methods.
Our laser-free periodontal treatment can help restore the health and strength of the gums with minimal downtime for patients afterwards.
This is also ideal for those seeking gum disease treatment before further procedures, including dental implants or braces.
What does non-surgical periodontal treatment involve?
Our non-surgical periodontal treatments include scaling and root planing. In plain English, this specialist deep cleaning process centres around the careful and thorough cleaning of the tooth, both above and immediately below the gum line.
During this highly successful treatment, your dental professional works to remove hardened dental plaque and tartar from the tooth and tooth roots.
Upon completion, the patient will be left with smoother tooth roots, less or no bacteria that can damage their periodontal health, and healthy gums and teeth.
Who is eligible for a non-surgical treatment for periodontal disease?
The non-surgical treatment of periodontal diseases has been designed for those diagnosed with periodontitis or gum disease.
Evidence of infected gum tissue includes:
- Swollen or puffy gums
- Bleeding gums – especially when eating or brushing
- Gum recession or tooth crown lengthening
- Gaps in the gum line – this may look like black triangles between the teeth
- Discoloured gum tissue
- Constant bad breath
- Pain when chewing
- Loose teeth
- Teeth that fit together differently when you bite, or the mouth is closed
While everyone needs to put their oral health first, not everyone needs this treatment to stop or prevent gum disease. Simple actions like thorough at-home cleaning and attending professional cleaning regularly will likely be all they need to remove plaque and stop harmful bacteria from leaving bacterial deposits on the teeth and gums.
This specialised nonsurgical treatment is solely used to treat periodontitis that has been identified by a dental professional.
What happens if I don’t treat gum disease?
Put simply, if you don’t look after your oral health, your general health can begin to suffer.
A host of unpleasant symptoms will develop and worsen, from receding gums to bad breath, bone loss and gum inflammation, before finally leading to tooth loss and deep periodontal pockets.
But it doesn’t stop there – if you are diagnosed with periodontal disease, the bacterial infection in the mouth can lead to other health problems. If gums are chronically inflamed, bacteria can enter the bloodstream and spread to other parts of your body, causing risk factors and diseases that include:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Preterm births in pregnant women
- Chronic kidney disease
- Chronic inflammatory disease
- Sepsis
So, if detected, it’s of paramount importance that we act quickly to prevent chronic periodontitis and restore your oral health.
