The cost of treating gum disease depends on how far it has progressed: how deep the pockets are, how much bone has been lost and how many teeth are involved. We set the exact fee at a consultation, after examining your gums.
Timelines follow the same logic. Most patients need a series of appointments rather than a single visit.
Led by Dr Ope Sodeinde.
Bleeding or receding gums are usually the first sign that you need help, and uncertainty about the cost is often what delays it. We provide periodontics in London at every stage, from gingivitis treatment to surgery, and because every case differs, the fee follows the diagnosis rather than a fixed menu.
Non-surgical periodontal therapy comes first: scaling and root planing to remove tartar below the gum line. For more advanced cases, Dr Ope Sodeinde uses LANAP laser therapy to target the bacteria, and gum abscess drainage where there is acute infection.
Our periodontal treatments focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease to maintain your oral health. We offer comprehensive periodontal care ranging from deep cleaning to advanced surgical procedures. Our specialist periodontists use modern techniques and equipment to provide effective treatment while ensuring patient comfort.
The cost of periodontal treatment varies based on:
| Service | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation | £195 | Expert assessment of your gum health with personalised treatment planning |
| Consultation & Hygienist Visit | £239 | Comprehensive care package with expert cleaning guidance. This is carried out by our periodontist-trained dental therapist. The aim of the hygienist visit is to optimise oral hygiene. Therefore, if your oral hygiene is not optimal at this stage, a second visit WILL be required. See individual hygienist visits for price |
| Crown lengthening surgery | from £1,500 | Enhance your smile's appearance and improve crown fit. Total cost will be dependent on the number of teeth requiring treatment. Accurate fee estimate will be provided at consultation |
| Deep cleaning (root surface debridement with periodontist-trained hygienist) | £200/visit | Professional deep cleaning for healthier gums. Total cost will be dependent on extent and severity of the periodontal disease and therefore the time that will be needed to carry out effective deep cleaning and oral hygiene instruction. |
| Deep cleaning (root surface debridement with periodontist) | £500/visit | Specialist treatment for advanced cases. Total cost will be dependent on extent and severity of the periodontal disease and therefore the time that will be needed to carry out effective deep cleaning and oral hygiene instruction. 95% of patients do not need this at our practice |
| Gum recession/Gum graft Surgery | from £1,500/tooth | Restore your natural gumline and protect exposed roots. The price per tooth could reduce if your case is less complex. Accurate fee estimate will be provided at consultation |
| Gum Veneer | £2,500-£4,000 | Instant solution for receding gums and black triangles. (Dependant on materials and number of teeth) |
| Intravenous Sedation | £550-£750/session | Relax comfortably through your treatment with expert sedation |
| Periodontal pocket reduction surgery | £2,000-£4,000/quarter of your mouth | Advanced treatment to restore gum health and save teeth |
| Periodontal reassessments | £195 | Track your progress and ensure optimal results. This is to assess your response to non-surgical deep gum cleaning |
| Periodontal regeneration surgery | from £1,750/tooth | Innovative treatment to regrow lost gum and bone tissue. Total cost will be dependent on the number of teeth requiring treatment. Accurate fee estimate will be provided at consultation |
| Regular hygienist visits (periodontal maintenance) | £149/visit | Maintain your healthy smile with regular professional care |

Regular maintenance is key to the success of periodontal treatment. Your warranty includes regular check-ups and professional cleanings to maintain your gum health.
Terms and conditions:
Periodontal treatments are typically covered by dental insurance as they are considered necessary for oral health. Most plans cover periodontal procedures at 50-80% though coverage varies by plan. We work with all major insurance providers and can help determine your specific coverage.
Regular maintenance visits following initial treatment are often covered at the same rate as standard cleanings, though frequency limitations may apply.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Bone lost to gum disease does not come back, so early treatment is how teeth are kept. We work diagnosis first, so you only pay for the care you need and are not over-treated. A periodontist measures the depth of the infection and sets the path, whether that is scaling and root planing or a surgical option such as crown lengthening.
You receive an itemised quote at your consultation, so every charge is known before treatment begins. Dr Ope Sodeinde bases the plan on clinical need.
Many people avoid the dentist because they are embarrassed by the state of their gums. Our priority is keeping your teeth, and the earlier we see you the more can be done. Depending on your case we may use laser gum therapy to treat the infection, or provide gummy smile correction where the concern is appearance. Because the plan depends on your own bone and gum condition, your specific costs are set at a clinical consultation.
We measure the depth of the pockets around your teeth. That measurement sets the severity of the infection and, with it, the level of treatment and the cost.
We remove plaque and tartar from beneath the gum line to stop the disease progressing. If you have an active infection, gum abscess drainage relieves the pressure and pain.
Some cases need surgery to reach deeper pockets. If the idea is daunting, tell us; local anaesthetic and sedation options are discussed before anything is planned.
The gums need time to reattach to the tooth roots. We review progress during this phase and do not rush it.
Gum disease returns if it is not managed, so we enrol you in a periodontal maintenance programme. Regular professional cleaning keeps the infection from re-establishing.
Your care is managed by Dr Ope Sodeinde, specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071), who examines your gums and reviews your medical history before setting the plan. The range covers gingivitis treatment, scaling and root planing, subgingival cleaning, gum abscess drainage, laser gum therapy, and crown lengthening where a crown needs more tooth to sit on.
Recovery depends on consistency. Gum irrigation sessions can reduce inflammation between visits, and follow-up appointments are scheduled to check healing, because maintenance is what keeps a periodontal result.
Patients tell us they value a calm, unhurried manner and honest options at consultation. That includes a clear assessment of what gingivitis treatment or any other procedure will cost before you proceed.
It depends on how advanced the infection is. We set the exact fee at your initial consultation, after measuring pocket depths and bone loss.
The fee depends on whether you need deep cleaning alone or surgery as well. We give you a clear breakdown after your clinical examination.
Treatment is phased, and the total is set by the number of sessions needed to stabilise your gums. You see the itemised figures before you commit.
Pricing for every periodontal procedure at our Primrose Hill practice is itemised in writing. To keep the disease from returning, active treatment is paired with a long-term gum disease aftercare programme. The costs page you are reading is where our published fees appear.
Your costs depend on pocket depth and bone loss, both measured at a clinical examination. You can see what happens at your first periodontal consultation and how to book to get a precise quote. Dr Ope Sodeinde assesses each patient individually, and you get a breakdown of fees before any work begins.
