Taking care of your gums for a healthier, happier smile!
Gum treatments, essential components of dental care, aim to address and maintain the health of the gums. These procedures target various gum-related issues, sustaining optimal gum health and supporting a confident, vibrant smile.
Range of gum treatments
- Scaling and root planing
Scaling and root planing involve a deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar below the gumline, facilitating healing and restoring a healthy foundation for your gums. - Gum grafting
For receding gums, gum grafting transplants tissue to cover exposed tooth roots, promoting health and enhancing the aesthetics of your smile. - Pocket reduction surgery
In cases of advanced gum disease, pocket reduction surgery aims to reduce pockets formed between teeth and gums, simplifying the maintenance of gum health. - Crown lengthening
Crown lengthening reshapes the gum tissue to expose more of the tooth, addressing cosmetic concerns and facilitating restorative dental work.
The process
- Effective gum treatments start with a thorough examination. Your dentist assesses your gums, identifying issues such as inflammation or recession to create a personalised treatment plan.
- Advanced tools like X-rays provide a detailed look at your gums and supporting structures, ensuring the treatment plan is finely tuned to address your specific needs.
