Your specialist periodontics journey

1.

Consultation & diagnosis

Your journey starts with a thorough consultation with our periodontist. We’ll carry out a detailed gum assessment, which may include pocket depth measurements and digital scans to check the health of the tissues supporting your teeth. This gives us a clear picture of your gum condition and helps us recommend the right course of treatment.

2.

Personalised treatment plan

Once we’ve completed the assessment, we’ll talk you through your gum health in plain, easy-to-understand language. Your periodontist will explain the different treatment options available, from non-surgical cleaning to more advanced procedures, and create a tailored plan designed around your needs and goals.

3.

Active treatment

Depending on the stage of your gum disease, treatment may involve deep cleaning below the gum line (scaling and root planing), laser therapy, or surgical procedures to reduce pocket depth or regenerate lost tissue. All treatments are carried out gently and with local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable.

Healthy gums need ongoing care. We’ll provide a tailored maintenance plan which may include more frequent hygiene visits, along with personalised advice for cleaning at home. By keeping up with reviews and preventive care, we can help stop gum disease from coming back.

Frequently asked questions about specialist periodontics in Upminster

What is a periodontist?

A periodontist is a dentist who has undergone specialist training to diagnose, treat, and prevent gum disease and other conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth.

Can gum disease be cured?

Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed with professional cleaning and good home care. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) cannot be cured but can be managed successfully to prevent further damage.

Do you offer specialist periodontics near me?

Yes, we provide specialist gum care to patients across Essex and East London, including Upminster, Hornchurch, Romford, Harold Wood, Rainham, Brentwood and Cranham.

What’s the difference between a dentist and a periodontist?

While general dentists can treat mild gum problems, a periodontist has advanced expertise in managing complex or severe gum disease, gum recession, and surgical procedures.

Do periodontal treatments hurt?

No - treatments are carried out using local anaesthetic where needed, and we always focus on keeping you comfortable. Some mild tenderness afterward is normal but short-lived.

Nervous about periodontal treatment?

We know many patients feel anxious about specialist treatment. At Church View Dental, we take time to explain everything clearly, go at your pace, and keep you comfortable throughout. If you feel especially nervous, we can offer sedation to help you feel calm and relaxed during your visit.
