Overview
Advanced gum disease breaks the seal between tooth and supporting bone — untreated, it spreads across teeth, loosens attachment and can cause tooth loss. Treatment ranges from laser curettage to flap surgery, with grafting where bone is lost. SmileX measures pocket depths and X-rays first, then matches the least invasive effective option.
Why patients choose us
- ✓ Halts spread to neighbouring teeth
- ✓ Preserves natural teeth and bone
- ✓ Reduces bleeding, swelling and odour
- ✓ Creates clean roots for reattachment
How it works
- 1Pocket probing, X-rays and deep scaling
- 2Laser or flap access to clear infection
- 3Root smoothing, bone graft if needed
- 4Stitches, healing and maintenance scaling
Common questions
What happens if I ignore gum disease?
Infection widens, attachment shrinks, and teeth can loosen and fall out.
Laser or flap surgery — which?
Early-moderate cases may suit laser curettage; deeper pockets usually need flap, with grafting for bone loss.
How do I keep the results?
Daily hygiene plus scheduled scaling reviews — outcomes depend on upkeep.
What affects the cost?
Depends on disease stage, quadrants treated, laser versus flap versus graft, and maintenance frequency. Staged estimate after probing.
