Support for teeth and implants

Gum Health & Periodontal Care

Healthy gums hold teeth and implants firmly in place. Bleeding, swelling, bad breath or gums pulling away from teeth can be early signs of disease—even when there is little pain.

Spot the early signs

Plaque can make gums red, swollen and easy to bleed. If inflammation moves deeper, pockets form and supporting bone can be lost. Smoking, diabetes, genetics and daily cleaning all affect risk.

Measure, then clean

We measure the spaces around each tooth, record bleeding and check X-rays for bone levels. Treatment starts with home-care coaching and professional cleaning. Deeper areas may need cleaning below the gum line with local anaesthetic for comfort.

Keep gums stable

Gum disease is controlled, not permanently cured. Regular maintenance checks bleeding and pocket depth and removes new deposits. Interdental brushes often make the spaces easier to clean. Implants need the same gum monitoring as natural teeth.
