Benefits

Gum care treatments

Non-surgical gum treatments provide a deep clean above and below the gumline to remove plaque and tartar and are less invasive than surgical treatments.

Red, tender, or swollen gums
Gums that bleed after eating, brushing, or flossing

Severe toothaches

Gum care treatments

Non-surgical gum treatments provide a deep clean above and below the gumline to remove plaque and tartar and are less invasive than surgical treatments.

Non-surgical gum treatments can include:

Root surface debridement (RSD)
Scaling and maintenance
Dental splinting (perfect for loose teeth).

Surgical gum treatments can include:

Crown lengthening
Open flap debridement
Periodontal regeneration/grafting
Muco-gingival plastic surgery/Recession coverage
Peri-implantitis surgery
Simple frenectomy
Root amputations/resection
Furcation tunnelling
Soft tissue graft around implant
Wisdom teeth extraction/extractions

In some patients, the nonsurgical procedure of scaling and root planning is all that is needed to treat gum diseases. Surgery is needed when the tissue around the teeth is unhealthy and cannot be repaired with nonsurgical options.

All treatments are subject to the individual practice.

How is gum disease caused?

Gum disease is caused by the germs (bacteria) which live in your mouth. The bacteria stick to your teeth forming plaque, irritate the gums and make them bleed.

If plaque is not cleaned off it solidifies to form tartar. Tartar then releases poisons into your gums and bones, causing the bone to dissolve over time. This is why it is important to see a hygienist who can prevent this from happening.

This may have specific causes such as diabetes or smoking, but some people are just more prone to gum disease.

How to maintain good oral hygiene?

To maintain good oral hygiene, we encourage you:

Brush your teeth for about 2 minutes every evening before you go to bed and on 1 other occasion every day
Use toothpaste that contains the right amount of fluoride, a natural mineral that helps protect against tooth decay
Floss your teeth or using interdental brushes regularly
Not smoking
Regularly visit your dentist and hygienist – at least twice a year

Words from our clients

“A huge thank you to dentist Ed, nurse Lois and manager extraordinaire Clare, my phobia kept me up the night before treatment and I still can’t believe how easy you all made it. No pain, loads of support and understanding. I highly recommend your outstanding service.”

Josephine Rice

“I had an amazing experience today! Honestly. I Went for 2 fillings. Dr. Yap is amazing. He made me feel very comfortable, answered my questions and just reassured me. I didn’t feel any pain and was calm. Although I was extremely nervous. I am so happy! Even if you are the most nervous patient in the world he will make you feel safe!”

Sincha Sin

Absolutely brilliant work and the staff are so helpful and friendly they couldn’t do enough for me. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting staff and dentists that want what’s best for you! No pressure into having unnecessary treatment, they want what’s best for you. They all go above and beyond thank you to the team!

Connor Davies

Everyone I saw was compassionate, patient and kind. Having been nervous coming for a check-up and hygienist appointment, there was no judgement and I experienced great care from everyone.

Jennifer Wareham

I was very happy with the service I received! I was made to feel very relaxed. Dr Usman explained in detail everything which needed to be done whilst I was holding a mirror and showed me what he was going to do. I was offered the work to be done on my teeth there and then which really pleased me. Highly recommend.

Rachel Adams

Dr Modarai has seen my children to correct their bites and straighten their teeth. They now both have lovely smiles and are proud to show off her work! We have been amazingly well looked after throughout the process by everyone involved with routine visits and in emergencies. Dr Moderai is very knowledgeable, kind, patient and friendly and I have already recommend her to friends. I am so grateful that she succeeded in correcting what seemed impossible and that my children have had her as their orthodontist.

Jenny Mollett

Parsons Green did all the orthodontic work for my daughter who was 12 when she first went to see them. My daughter was slightly worried about the process but the team put her at ease immediately by explaining everything clearly and kindly. They are excellent with children. My daughter had her braces removed recently (after about two years) and she is absolutely delighted with the results!

Felipe de Vengoechea

This practice has treated four of my children –with one more to go. Two of them were “extreme cases” and I can safely say that they performed miracles on both of them. On top of being extraordinarily kind and friendly (as is all the staff there), they deliver results that I honestly would never have dreamed of. My children now have amazing teeth. All these trips to Parsons Green were totally worth it, and I am looking forward to quite a few more for my youngest boy. Thank you, from an eternally grateful mother.
