Bleeding, receding gums — the commonest reason adults lose teeth, and largely reversible when caught early.
What you may notice
Around half of adults to some degree; more common in smokers and in people with diabetes
Gum disease begins as gingivitis — inflammation caused by plaque at the gum line — and is entirely reversible at that stage. Left alone it can progress to periodontitis, where the bone supporting the tooth is lost, and that part is not reversible. Treatment is aimed at stopping the progression and keeping what is there.
Treatments
What each treatment involves, how long it takes and what it costs — before you sit down.
A full look at teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues, and a written plan with costs.
Professional cleaning above and below the gum line, with technique coaching that makes it last.
Tooth-coloured restorations that remove decay and rebuild the tooth in one appointment.
Treatment that saves a tooth whose nerve has died or become infected.
Rebuilding a badly damaged tooth, or replacing one using the teeth either side.
A titanium root placed in the jaw to carry a single tooth, a bridge or a denture.
Removable, near-invisible trays that straighten teeth over months rather than years.
Custom trays and professional gel that lighten the natural shade of the teeth.
Thin porcelain facings that change the shape, alignment and colour of front teeth.
