Periodontal Treatment 

Healthy Gums for a Healthier Smile

At Atrium Clinic, we provide comprehensive periodontal care to help prevent, diagnose and manage gum disease, protecting your natural teeth and supporting long-term oral health.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the gums and bone supporting the teeth. It often develops gradually and may progress without noticeable pain. If left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, loose teeth and eventually tooth loss.

Gum disease is primarily caused by bacterial plaque, but factors such as smoking, diabetes, genetics and poor oral hygiene can increase the risk of developing periodontitis.

Common Signs of Gum Disease

You may need a periodontal assessment if you experience:

• Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing

• Red, swollen or tender gums

• Persistent bad breath

• Receding gums or teeth appearing longer

• Loose or shifting teeth

• Discomfort when chewing

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent further damage to the tissues supporting your teeth.

Our Periodontal Treatments

Professional Scaling and Deep Cleaning

We remove plaque, tartar and bacterial deposits from the teeth and along the gumline to reduce inflammation and improve gum health.

Root Surface Debridement

For patients with deeper periodontal pockets, we provide thorough cleaning below the gumline to remove bacterial deposits and calculus from the root surfaces.

This helps reduce inflammation and supports healing of the periodontal tissues.

Advanced Periodontal Treatment

In more complex cases, additional treatment may be necessary, including periodontal surgery or regenerative procedures to address selected gum and bone defects.

Management of Loose Teeth

Advanced gum disease can cause teeth to become mobile due to loss of supporting bone.

Where appropriate, we may recommend periodontal splinting, which involves stabilising mobile teeth by connecting them to neighbouring teeth. Other restorative options may also be considered depending on the condition of the teeth and surrounding tissues.

Personalised Periodontal Care

At Atrium Clinic, every treatment begins with a detailed periodontal assessment, including gum measurements, evaluation of tooth mobility and dental X-rays where clinically indicated.

We create an individual treatment plan based on the severity of your gum disease, your oral health and any contributing risk factors.

Following active treatment, regular periodontal maintenance appointments and effective home care are essential to help keep the condition stable and reduce the risk of further bone loss.
