Our hygienist team has years of collective experience – they’ve seen it all, including even the most complex of cases.
Some of the methods we can use to address gum disease include:
- Scaling and Polishing
This is a routine treatment that removes plaque and tartar from your gum line. We are experienced at performing this gently and thoroughly, using minimally invasive equipment and techniques.
- Root Planing
This involves removing bacteria from the roots of your teeth, which is harder to reach.We may need to perform repeat root planing treatment for more severe cases.
- Surgery
We will always explore non-surgical treatment before considering surgical methods. We may perform surgical treatment in cases such as when a tooth needs to be extracted. Don’t worry though, if we need to extract a failing tooth, there are multiple options for tooth replacement, such as Dental Implants.
- Our Philosophy of Prevention
We are big advocates of prevention over cure. As teeth and gums can’t recover from gum disease, it’s important to put the effort in each day, to minimise the need for treatment in the future. During your hygienist appointments, we can let you know which aspects of your oral hygiene might be causing the onset of gum disease. We will also let you know how often we think you should attend routine hygienist appointments, depending on your risk factors and the condition of your gums.
