Protect Your Gums & Teeth with Advanced Periodontal Care

At Hampton Dental Surgery, we provide comprehensive periodontal procedures to treat gum disease, restore gum health, and protect your teeth from long-term damage.

Healthy gums are essential for a strong, stable smile. When gum disease develops, early treatment can prevent tooth loss and improve overall oral health.

What Are Periodontal Procedures?

Periodontal procedures are treatments used to manage and treat gum disease (periodontitis), which affects the gums, bone, and supporting structures of your teeth.

These treatments range from non-surgical deep cleaning to advanced surgical procedures, depending on the severity of the condition.

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease begins with inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and can progress into a more serious condition called periodontitis if left untreated.

Common signs include:

Bleeding or swollen gums

Persistent bad breath

Gum recession

Loose teeth

Sensitivity or discomfort

Types of Periodontal Procedures

We offer a range of treatments tailored to your needs:

Scaling & Root Planing

A non-surgical procedure that removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, helping gums heal and reattach to the teeth.

Antibiotic Therapy

Antibacterial treatments may be used alongside cleaning procedures to control infection and support healing.

Flap Surgery

For advanced cases, the gums are gently lifted to clean deep pockets and remove bacteria before repositioning the tissue for better healing.

Gum Grafts

Used to restore receding gums, protect exposed roots, and improve the appearance of your smile.
