Referring a patient for Periodontal treatment in Bracknell, Berkshire

Patients can be self referred or referred to us from their own dentist but only on a private basis.

At CrownWood Dental, we welcome referrals for patients that require Periodontal treatment, we are proud to have a specialist in Periodontics as part of our team.

If your patient is suffering from swelling, soreness, bleeding or inflammation of the gums this could be an indication of gingivitis or periodontal disease.

Most cases of gum disease can be treated by cleaning underneath the gums using local anaesthetic. This treatment is typically carried out over 2-3 visits over a period of around a month, however surgical treatment is sometimes required for the most severe cases. In certain situations it is possible to grow back the damaged periodontal tissues (regeneration).

Surgery can also be carried out to improve the appearance of an uneven gum line or gummy smile (crown-lengthening), to treat gum recession/shrinkage (mucogingival surgery) and to allow replacement of lost teeth with dental implants.
