Gentle and effective Gum Treatment in Brent Cross

Gum disease occurs when plaque and bacteria are left to build up on the teeth, causing infection. Dental scaling and root planing are two common methods used by our skilled dentists in Brent Cross to eradicate gum disease. We’ll also teach you how to improve your oral care routine to prevent future problems.

Restoring your dental health and hygiene

At our relaxing dental practice in Brent Cross, your dentist will examine your teeth and gums in order to accurately diagnose your gum disease. Your treatment will then be planned and carried out accordingly. We’ll ensure your comfort and understanding at each step of your treatment.

Gingivitis

Our dental clinic in Brent Cross treats gingivitis with a scale and polish treatment to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums. Plaque and tartar will be removed with special equipment, leaving your mouth clean and healthy.

Periodontitis or ANUG

These more developed forms of gum disease require greater treatment over the course of several appointments.

Plaque and tartar will be eradicated, followed by a root planing treatment at our dental surgery in Brent Cross to decrease inflammation and remove bacterial pockets. You’ll have a local anaesthetic injection to numb the area, and you may experience mild sensitivity and discomfort afterwards. Antibiotics and painkillers can be prescribed to encourage recovery.

Severe gum disease has to be treated with gum surgery in order to successfully kill bacteria and restore oral health. In this case our expert dentist in Brent Cross may refer you to a periodontist.

If you need gum treatment, please book an appointment at Beam Dental today.

FAQs

How Long Does Dental Implant Treatment Take?

Dental implant treatment typically takes between 3 to 6 months from start to finish. This allows time for the implant to properly fuse with the jawbone (a process called osseointegration). In some cases, if additional procedures like bone grafting are required, the overall timeline may be longer.

Are Dental Implants Painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. The implant placement is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during treatment. Afterward, mild soreness or swelling is normal for a few days and can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution and can last 10–15 years or more with proper care. In many cases, they can last a lifetime. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups are key to ensuring their longevity.

Can Anyone Get Dental Implants?

Most adults with good general and oral health are suitable candidates for dental implants. However, sufficient bone density in the jaw is needed to support the implant. Patients with certain medical conditions or those who smoke heavily may require additional assessment or treatment before proceeding.

How Do I Look After My Implants?

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. This includes brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and attending routine dental visits. Good oral hygiene helps prevent complications such as gum disease, which can affect the success of the implant over time.
