What is periodontics?
Periodontics is the dental specialism focused on the gums and the bone that supports your teeth. If you've been told you have gum disease, or you've noticed bleeding, recession, or loosening teeth, this is the area of dentistry that deals with it.
Conditions like gingivitis and periodontitis are more common than most people realise, and more treatable than many expect. Depending on what's needed, treatment can range from a thorough deep clean to more involved procedures like gum grafts or bone regeneration — all aimed at stabilising your mouth and protecting your teeth for the long term.

How much does periodontic treatment cost?
The cost of periodontal treatment depends on what's involved, and we won't be able to give you an accurate figure until we've had a proper look. Your initial consultation gives us the chance to assess your gum health, talk through what we'd recommend, and give you a clear idea of costs before you commit to moving forward.
If you need more extensive periodontal treatment and would like to spread the cost, we offer 0% interest finance through Tabeo for 3, 6, 10, or 12 months. Visit our pricing page for more detail, or just ask the team when you get in touch.
Do I need periodontic treatment?
You may benefit from periodontic care if you notice bleeding gums, swelling, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, or visible gum recession.
Early-stage gum disease, known as gingivitis, is often reversible with professional treatment and improved home care.
Because gum disease can progress without obvious symptoms, regular check-ups and hygiene appointments are essential for catching problems early. If you're concerned about your gum health, we're here to help.

Gum disease is progressive, which means the sooner it's caught, the easier it is to treat. If you've noticed bleeding when you brush, your gums pulling back, or a dentist has flagged a concern, it's worth getting it looked at properly.
