Unlike general dentists, our periodontists have undergone years of additional training focused exclusively on gum health and disease management. This specialised expertise allows our Birmingham specialists to diagnose and treat even the most complex periodontal conditions effectively, giving you access to the highest level of gum care available.
Our periodontists don't just treat symptoms—they address the underlying causes of your gum disease. Through detailed assessment, customised treatment plans, and ongoing maintenance, we provide Birmingham patients with complete periodontal care that focuses on achieving and maintaining optimal gum health for the long term.
Advanced gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. By seeking specialist periodontal treatment at our Birmingham practice, you're taking a crucial step toward preserving your natural teeth. Even if you've already experienced some tooth mobility, our specialists can often stabilise your condition and help you maintain your teeth for years to come.
Research has established clear links between periodontal disease and various systemic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory infections, and certain pregnancy complications. For Birmingham patients with these health concerns, managing gum disease effectively becomes even more critical for both oral and general wellbeing.
For cases where non-surgical therapy isn't sufficient, our specialists offer a range of advanced surgical procedures, from pocket reduction to regenerative techniques that can help rebuild lost tissue. These sophisticated treatments, not typically available at general dental practices in Birmingham, provide options for even the most challenging periodontal conditions.
Successfully treating gum disease requires ongoing management. Our Birmingham periodontists develop personalised maintenance programmes for each patient, combining professional care with effective home hygiene techniques to help you maintain the results of your treatment and prevent disease recurrence.
A thorough examination including detailed charting of pocket depths, recession, mobility, and other key indicators of periodontal health
Discussion of your diagnosis, treatment options, prognosis, and development of a personalised care plan tailored to your specific condition
Professional cleaning, scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), and instruction in optimal home care techniques to reduce inflammation and infection
Assessment of your response to initial therapy, typically 6-8 weeks after treatment, to determine if further intervention is needed
For some Birmingham patients, surgical procedures may be recommended to address persistent pockets, bone loss, or gum recession
Regular maintenance visits at carefully determined intervals to monitor your condition and provide professional cleaning beyond what can be achieved at home
Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the tissues surrounding and supporting your teeth. It begins when plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—builds up along and under the gumline. The bacteria produce toxins that trigger an inflammatory response in the gums, eventually leading to tissue and bone destruction if left untreated.
Effective periodontal treatment works by thoroughly removing bacterial deposits from tooth surfaces and root structures, allowing the inflamed tissues to heal. This is primarily accomplished through scaling and root planing—a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and calculus (hardened plaque) from beneath the gumline and smooths the root surfaces to discourage further bacterial adhesion.
For Birmingham patients with advanced disease, surgical interventions may be necessary to access deep pockets, regenerate lost tissue, or recontour the gums to create a healthier environment. These procedures, performed by our specialist periodontists, can significantly improve both the function and aesthetic appearance of affected areas.

Recommendations for ongoing maintenance to prevent recurrence
Our periodontal treatments represent an essential investment in your long-term oral and overall health.
Most periodontal procedures are performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during treatment. Some Birmingham patients experience mild discomfort or sensitivity for a few days following deep cleaning or surgical procedures. Our specialists ensure comfort and provide post-treatment care instructions and pain management strategies.
The duration varies based on severity. Mild to moderate cases may need 2-4 visits over several weeks. Advanced cases requiring surgery may extend over months. We'll provide a customised treatment timeline at your consultation.
Gums have limited ability to regenerate. Early treatment may reverse some damage. For significant recession, gum grafting can cover exposed roots. Our Birmingham specialists will explain your options based on your condition.
Patients with periodontal history typically need professional cleanings every 3-4 months. These frequent visits help maintain results and prevent recurrence. Your schedule may vary based on your disease history and risk factors.
While not curable in the traditional sense, it can be managed long-term. Like diabetes, it requires ongoing care. With professional support and excellent hygiene, patients can keep their gums stable and healthy.
Some private insurance plans offer partial coverage for periodontal procedures. Our Birmingham team will provide documentation to help with claims, but coverage depends on your specific provider and policy.
Untreated gum disease leads to bone loss, gum recession, tooth mobility, and tooth loss. It can also increase risks of heart disease, diabetes complications, and infections. Early treatment prevents these outcomes.
Daily care and regular visits are key. Brush and floss properly, use prescribed rinses, and attend maintenance appointments. Managing smoking, stress, and conditions like diabetes also supports long-term gum health.
