Common Questions

Understanding gum disease is the first step to treating it.

What are the signs of gum disease?

Common signs include bleeding when brushing, red or swollen gums, bad breath, and loose teeth. However, it can also be silent, which is why exams are crucial.

Do I need a referral?

While many patients are referred by their dentist, you do not need a referral to schedule a consultation with us directly.

Is treatment painful?

We use minimally invasive techniques and offer sedation to ensure your comfort. Most patients report feeling much better than expected.
