Periodontal Solutions To Help You Smile Again

Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. With periodontal treatment, we can stop gum disease in its tracks, and look at restorative solutions to replace teeth that have been lost to gum disease.

Periodontal treatment can involve:

Scaling & Root Planning)Deep cleaning techniques to reach plaque and tartar located underneath your gum line.

Gum Grafts)Replace lost areas of gum tissue in order to protect your tooth roots and dentin.

Scale & Polish)Treatment to routinely remove plaque and tartar from your teeth.

Pocket Reduction Surgery)Treatment for patients who have previously suffered from gum disease. Periodontal pockets in your gum line are reduced to prevent plaque and tartar from re-entering.

Crown Lengthening)Treatment to expose the tooth structure so that a crown can be placed.

Meliora Dental is a leading clinic for periodontal treatment in the Leeds area.

We frequently take referrals for surgical and non-surgical periodontal treatment from other dentists.

FAQs

How can a periodontist help me?

A periodontist has specific knowledge and training relating to the diagnosis and treatment of gum disease.

Dr Namrata Sharma is the authority on periodontal health at Meliora Dental. She has a special interest in this area of dentistry, allowing her to give detailed preventive hygiene advice, as well as nutritional advice.

Dr Namrata seeks to understand the lifestyles of her patients. This is always without judgment and with a desire to help them implement changes for the better.

How can I avoid getting gum disease?

Regular hygienist visits are essential for removing the plaque and tartar that collect along your gum line. This cannot be removed with a brush or floss at home, and the longer it lingers, the more likely advanced gum disease can set in and cause problems for your teeth and supporting structures.
