Periodontics (Gum Treatment) by Specialist
Our visiting periodontist specialises in the treatment of advanced gum disease called periodontitis and she works closely with our consultant orthodontist in the management of teeth alignment problems as a result of periodontitis and/or premature loss of teeth called pathologic tooth migration.
She offers periodontal screening and treatment prior to denture construction, crown and bridgework, and orthodontic treatment. She works with your dentist as part of a dental team to manage your periodontal concerns. Once your periodontal condition has stabilised, you will be referred back to your dentist for periodontal maintenance.
