Your journey begins with a comprehensive gum assessment. We measure pocket depths, evaluate bone support, and identify risk factors such as smoking or diabetes. This helps us diagnose the type and severity of gum disease and plan your personalised treatment.
The first Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment (deep cleaning) focuses on one side or area of the mouth. Bacterial deposits and tartar are removed from below the gum line under local anaesthetic for comfort.
The second session completes the cleaning in the remaining areas. This thorough bacterial removal helps reduce gum inflammation and pocket depth.
Around 2–3 weeks later, we perform a review appointment to monitor healing, measure progress, and provide tailored home care advice to maintain your results.
Once the initial infection is under control, regular hygiene sessions are essential — typically every 3 months. These visits help prevent bacterial build-up and maintain gum stability.
Every 6 to 12 months, a comprehensive review is carried out to reassess pocket depths and bone levels. If inflammation persists or pockets remain deep, further treatment or adjustments may be needed.
If symptoms do not improve or advanced bone loss is detected, you may be referred to a periodontist for specialist care, which could involve surgical periodontal therapy.
The main cause of tooth loss isn’t decay — it’s gum disease. This chronic infection damages the gums and bone that support your teeth, often starting with bleeding or swelling.
That’s why at Angel Smile, we take gum health very seriously. Our hygiene levels go beyond standard cleaning, offering advanced technology and deeper care to keep your gums healthy and your smile lasting.
Gum disease is an infection of the gums and supporting bone caused by bacteria that build up around the teeth.
In its early stage, gingivitis, you may notice bleeding gums, bad breath, or redness and swelling. If untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, where the gums pull away from the teeth, leading to bone loss or tooth mobility.
The good news is that with early diagnosis and teamwork between you and your dental team, gum disease can be well managed.
At Angel Smile, we’ll stay beside you every step of the way.
with your commitment and our support, the prognosis is very good.
A deep gum cleaning — also known as non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) — is recommended when gum disease has caused plaque and bacteria to collect below the gumline, where a normal cleaning can’t reach.
During this treatment, your dentist gently cleans these deeper areas under local anaesthetic to remove infection, reduce inflammation, and help your gums heal naturally.
It’s a way to stop gum disease from progressing and protect the bone that supports your teeth from further loss.
Unless your case requires immediate specialist care, most patients begin their gum treatment here at the practice to help stabilise the condition.
If the gums don’t fully respond, or if the disease is more advanced, we will refer you to a specialist periodontist for further assessment or surgical treatment.
Beside professional treatment, your commitment and home care play the biggest role in long-term success
Long-term success depends on your daily oral care and regular maintenance visits.
Brush twice daily with an electric toothbrush, clean between teeth daily with TEPE brushes and floss, and attend 3-monthly hygiene sessions as recommended.
Avoid smoking and manage medical conditions like diabetes, which can worsen gum disease and slow healing.
