Crown lengthening is a precise dental surgery performed by our expert periodontist at London Dental Specialists.

Our expert periodontist performs this delicate procedure with precision, utilising advanced techniques to ensure optimal results and patient comfort.
The benefits of soft tissue grafts extend beyond mere cosmetic improvement. This gum recession treatment significantly reduces tooth sensitivity, thickens gum tissue, and improves overall periodontal health. By addressing exposed root surfaces, the procedure aids in preventing further recession and potential tooth loss. Our connective tissue grafts are particularly effective for extensive root coverage, seamlessly blending with existing gum tissue for a natural appearance.
At London Dental Specialists, we prioritise both function and aesthetics in our gingival grafting procedures. Our root coverage procedure not only protects vulnerable tooth structure but also enhances your smile's appearance. This dental cosmetic procedure can dramatically improve the harmony of your gum line, contributing to a more balanced and attractive smile.
We understand that gum recession can be a source of concern for many patients. Our soft tissue grafts offer a reliable solution for gum tissue restoration, effectively reversing the effects of recession and bolstering oral health. This gum regeneration technique promotes healing and encourages the growth of healthy new tissue, fostering long-term periodontal stability.
Our commitment to excellence ensures that each oral tissue augmentation procedure is tailored to the individual needs of our patients. Whether you're seeking to address localised recession or improve overall gum health, our soft tissue grafts provide a comprehensive solution for dental soft tissue repair and gum recession prevention.

Our Process for Periodontics Treaments

At London Dental Specialists, our periodontics process is designed to provide comprehensive care for your gum health. Our approach involves six key steps: initial consultation and assessment, diagnostic imaging, treatment planning, non-surgical or surgical interventions, post-treatment care, and ongoing maintenance. We utilise advanced technology and techniques to ensure optimal results, whether you require gum disease management, cosmetic procedures, or advanced periodontal treatments. We aim to restore and maintain your gum health while ensuring your comfort.
Step 1
Initial Consultation and Assessment
At London Dental Specialists, we begin with a thorough consultation and assessment. Our expert periodontist examines your gums, measures pocket depths, and reviews your medical history. We use advanced imaging for precise diagnosis. This step helps us create a tailored treatment plan to address your specific periodontal needs and concerns.
Step 2
Diagnostic Imaging
Our advanced diagnostic imaging techniques provide a comprehensive view of your periodontal health. Using high-resolution 3D scans and digital X-rays, we accurately assess gum pocket depth, bone loss, and tissue condition. This detailed imaging allows for precise treatment planning and helps us tailor our approach to your needs.
Step 3
Treatment Planning
Treatment Planning: Our periodontists assess your case thoroughly using advanced imaging and diagnostics. We develop a tailored treatment plan, discussing options, expected outcomes, and costs. This step ensures you understand and agree with the proposed periodontal care before proceeding.
Step 4
Non-surgical or surgical interventions
Non-surgical interventions include scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar. Surgical options like pocket reduction or gum grafts may be necessary for advanced cases. Our specialists use advanced techniques and technology to restore gum health effectively.
Step 5
Post-treatment care: Healing guidance and follow-up.
We provide detailed instructions for optimal healing. Regular check-ups ensure your gums recover properly. Our team monitors progress, adjusts care as needed, and offers support to maintain your improved periodontal health long-term.
Step 6
Ongoing Maintenance
Regular check-ups and professional cleanings are crucial for maintaining gum health. We provide ongoing care, monitor for signs of recurrence, and offer personalised oral hygiene advice. Our team ensures your periodontal health remains stable long-term, preventing future gum issues and preserving your smile.

Our Advanced Technology for Periodontics

At London Dental Specialists, we employ cutting-edge technology for periodontal care. Our advanced 3D imaging systems provide precise diagnostics, while digital impressions ensure accurate treatment planning. We utilise laser therapy for gentle, effective gum treatments and piezoelectric devices for minimally invasive procedures. Our LANAP protocol offers a revolutionary approach to gum disease management. Platelet-rich plasma therapy accelerates healing, and our specialised software allows for comprehensive smile design. With guided tissue regeneration techniques, we promote optimal gum and bone regrowth. These innovations enhance patient comfort, reduce recovery time, and deliver superior periodontal health and aesthetic outcomes.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography for Periodontics

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a 3D imaging technique that provides high-resolution images of oral structures. In periodontics, CBCT is used to assess bone density, evaluate periodontal defects, plan implant placement, and visualise anatomical structures. It aids in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for periodontal diseases and surgeries.

Digital Intraoral Scanners for Periodontics

Digital intraoral scanners are handheld devices that capture detailed 3D images of a patient's oral cavity. In periodontics, these scanners create precise digital impressions of teeth and gums, aiding in diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring periodontal conditions. They offer improved accuracy and patient comfort compared to traditional impression methods.

Dental Lasers for Periodontics

Dental lasers are advanced tools used in periodontics to treat gum disease and perform soft tissue procedures. These devices emit focused light beams to precisely remove infected gum tissue, reduce bacteria, and promote healing. Lasers can also aid in scaling and root planing, offering less invasive treatment options with reduced bleeding, swelling, and post-operative discomfort for patients.

Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing for Periodontics

Computer-aided design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in periodontics involves digital scanning of teeth and gums, followed by computer-based design and fabrication of dental prosthetics or surgical guides. This technology enables the precise creation of crowns, bridges, and implant components, improving fit accuracy and reducing treatment time for periodontal patients.

Periodontics: Frequently Asked Questions

Considering Periodontics? We understand you may have questions. Our team of dental specialists, including a Periodontist, Endodontist, Prosthodontist and Orthodontist along with our team of Dental Therapists and Nurses are here to guide you through the process.

Laser gum therapy: Non-invasive treatment for diseased tissue.4. Pocket reduction surgery: Minimises spaces where bacteria grow.5. Gum grafting: Covers exposed roots and restores gum line.6.

Periodontal maintenance: Ongoing care to prevent disease recurrence.At London Dental Specialists, Dr Ope Sodeinde, a registered Specialist in Periodontics, provides tailored treatments using advanced techniques like LANAP and 3D imaging for optimal results.
What are the long-term benefits of periodontal treatment?
Periodontal treatment offers significant long-term benefits for oral health. It effectively halts gum disease progression, preventing tooth loss and preserving bone structure. Treated patients experience reduced inflammation, bleeding, and bad breath. Proper gum health also supports overall well-being, as periodontal disease has been linked to systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Regular maintenance after treatment ensures lasting results, promoting a healthier smile and improved quality of life. At London Dental Specialists, our expert periodontists use advanced techniques like laser therapy and guided tissue regeneration to maximise these long-term benefits, tailoring treatments to each patient's unique needs.
How can I prevent periodontal disease from recurring after treatment?
To prevent periodontal disease from recurring after treatment:1. Maintain excellent oral hygiene: Brush twice daily and floss regularly.2. Use an antiseptic mouthwash to reduce bacteria.3. Attend regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings.4. Follow a healthy diet rich in vitamins C and D.5. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption.6. Manage stress levels, as stress can weaken your immune system.7. Control underlying health conditions like diabetes.8. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and consider an electric toothbrush.9. Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months.10. Follow your periodontist's personalised maintenance plan.At London Dental Specialists, we offer comprehensive periodontal maintenance programs tailored to your specific needs, ensuring long-term gum health and preventing disease recurrence.
How can a periodontist help manage systemic health conditions related to gum disease?
As periodontists, we are crucial in managing systemic health conditions linked to gum disease. We reduce gum inflammation and bacterial load through specialised treatments like scaling, root planing, and laser therapy, which can positively impact conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory problems. I work closely with your primary care physician to provide comprehensive care that addresses your oral and overall health. By effectively managing your gum disease, we improve your oral health and may contribute to better management of related systemic conditions, potentially reducing complications and enhancing your overall well-being.
What are the potential risks and complications associated with periodontal surgery, and how can they be minimised?
Potential risks of periodontal surgery include infection, bleeding, and temporary discomfort. Complications may involve gum recession, tooth sensitivity, or changes in appearance. To minimise risks:1. Choose an experienced periodontist at London Dental Specialists2. Follow pre-operative instructions carefully3. Maintain good oral hygiene before and after surgery4. Attend all follow-up appointments5. Adhere to post-operative care guidelinesLondon Dental Specialists uses advanced techniques and technology to reduce complications. Their periodontists carefully assess each patient's condition and tailor treatment plans to minimise risks. They also provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and support to ensure optimal healing and results.
How does a periodontist approach the treatment of peri-implantitis, and what are the success rates for saving affected dental implants?
Periodontists at London Dental Specialists approach peri-implantitis treatment with a multi-step process. First, they thoroughly clean the implant surface using specialised instruments and antibiotics. Next, they may perform regenerative procedures to restore lost bone and soft tissue. Surgical interventions like implant surface decontamination or guided bone regeneration may be necessary in severe cases.According to the British Society of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, success rates for saving affected implants vary from 60-80%. Factors influencing success include early diagnosis, extent of bone loss, patient compliance, and overall health. At London Dental Specialists, our experienced periodontists use advanced techniques and technology to maximise treatment outcomes and implant survival rates.
