Gum Disease Treatment Costs in London

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.

How we manage the cost of gum disease treatment

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.

Gum Disease & Periodontics Costs

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:

  • Severity of gum disease
  • Type of treatment required
  • Number of sessions needed
  • Need for surgical intervention
  • Maintenance program requirements

Why choose a specialist for gum disease

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.

Who can treat gum disease

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.

Your path to gum health and what drives the cost

Periodontal clinical assessment

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.

Deep cleaning and decontamination

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.

Surgical gum correction

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.

Healing and tissue recovery

The gums need time to reattach to the tooth roots. We review progress during this phase and do not rush it.

The periodontal maintenance programme

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.

Clinical expertise in periodontal care

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.

Verified patient outcomes

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.

Periodontal treatment pricing

How much does it cost to fix periodontitis?

It depends on how advanced the infection is. We set the exact fee at your initial consultation, after measuring pocket depths and bone loss.

What does gum disease treatment cost?

The fee depends on whether you need deep cleaning alone or surgery as well. We give you a clear breakdown after your clinical examination.

How is the total worked out?

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.

Financial clarity

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 periodontal cost assessment

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.
