Procedure

How the treatment works

Your treatment depends on the stage of gum disease and your aesthetic goals. A full periodontal charting on day one tells us exactly which combination of the following steps you need — many patients complete everything within a single short stay.

1

Periodontal Assessment

We measure the pocket depth around every tooth, chart bleeding points and recession, and take digital X-rays to assess bone levels. This gives an objective picture of gum health and a baseline to measure your improvement against.

2

Scaling & Root Planing

Ultrasonic and hand instruments remove plaque and hardened tartar from above and below the gum line, then smooth the root surfaces so gums can reattach. Local anaesthesia keeps deeper cleaning completely comfortable.

3

Laser Gum Therapy

For moderate to advanced disease, a soft-tissue laser disinfects the periodontal pockets and removes inflamed tissue with minimal bleeding and faster healing than conventional gum surgery. Most patients return to normal routine the same day.

4

Aesthetic Gum Contouring

Where the concern is cosmetic — a gummy smile or an uneven gum line — the laser reshapes the gum margins in a single visit. This is frequently combined with veneers or crowns to frame the new smile symmetrically.

5

Maintenance & Home-Care Plan

You leave with a personalised hygiene protocol, product recommendations, and a maintenance schedule. We coordinate ongoing periodontal maintenance with your local hygienist and review your progress remotely.

Who is suitable?

Gum treatment is relevant to far more people than realise it — over half of adults have some degree of gum disease, usually without pain in the early stages.

Patients whose gums bleed during brushing or flossing Anyone with persistent bad breath or a bad taste that cleaning does not fix Patients with receding gums, exposed roots, or teeth that look "longer" People noticing loose teeth or gaps opening between teeth Patients planning implants, veneers, or crowns who need a healthy foundation first Those bothered by a gummy smile or uneven gum line around their front teeth
Recovery

Your recovery timeline

1
Day 1
Mild tenderness and slight sensitivity after deep cleaning or laser therapy are normal. Stick to soft, lukewarm foods for the first day and follow the rinse protocol you are given.
2
Week 1
Bleeding during brushing reduces noticeably. After contouring, the reshaped gum line settles and any minor soreness resolves within a few days.
3
Week 2–4
Gums become visibly pinker and firmer as inflammation resolves. Bad breath linked to gum disease improves markedly in this period.
4
Month 3
A re-evaluation — remotely or with your local dentist — confirms pocket depths have reduced. This is the checkpoint where we confirm the disease is under control.
5
Month 6
You enter a routine maintenance cycle. With professional cleanings every 3–6 months and good home care, treated gums remain stable for the long term.
FAQ

Gum Treatments — your questions answered

The most common signs are gums that bleed when brushing, redness or puffiness along the gum line, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and eventually loose teeth. Early gum disease is usually painless, which is exactly why it is so often ignored — a periodontal check takes minutes and gives a definitive answer.

With local anaesthesia the procedure itself is comfortable. Expect some tenderness and temporary sensitivity to cold for a few days afterwards, which settles as the gums heal and tighten around the teeth.

Lost gum tissue does not regrow on its own, but recession can be stopped, and in suitable cases it can be corrected with grafting procedures that cover the exposed root. The earlier recession is treated, the simpler the solution.

A dental laser disinfects gum pockets and removes diseased tissue with less bleeding, no sutures in most cases, and faster healing than conventional flap surgery. It is an excellent option for moderate disease and for aesthetic contouring; very advanced bone loss may still require conventional periodontal surgery.

Because restorations are only as stable as the foundation they sit on. Placing veneers over inflamed gums leads to visible margins and premature failure, and implants placed in patients with active gum disease have significantly higher failure rates. Treating the gums first protects your investment.

Yes — periodontal disease is controlled, not cured, so maintenance matters. With the home-care routine we design for you and professional cleanings every three to six months, the large majority of patients keep their gums stable indefinitely.

No. Laser contouring reshapes the gum margin precisely and seals the tissue as it works, so healing is quick and the result looks natural, with no visible scarring. Most patients report only mild soreness for a day or two.
