Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, but with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment it can often be successfully controlled.

Treatment begins by identifying the severity of the disease and carefully removing the bacteria responsible for the infection beneath the gum line. This reduces inflammation and creates an environment where your gums can begin to heal.

Paul provides personalised periodontal treatment plans that focus on stabilising your condition while helping you maintain healthy gums long into the future.

Treatment may include:

• Comprehensive periodontal assessment
• Deep cleaning below the gum line
• Non-surgical periodontal therapy
• Surgical periodontic treatment
• Ongoing periodontal maintenance
• Oral hygiene education
• Monitoring and review appointments

Paul regularly works alongside referring dentists to stabilise periodontal disease before restorative treatment, implant treatment or orthodontic treatment begins. Throughout treatment, clear communication is maintained, with patients returned to their referring dentist for ongoing routine care once specialist treatment has been completed.

Common referrals include:

• Moderate to advanced periodontal disease
• Gum recession
• Periodontal surgery
• Crown lengthening
• Soft tissue grafting
• Implant-related periodontal care
• Periodontal assessment before complex restorative treatment
• Second opinions
