Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Laser gum therapy uses a dental laser to remove infected tissue from the lining of periodontal pockets and reduce the bacteria in them. We provide it at our Primrose Hill practice. A consultation with Dr Ope Sodeinde confirms whether it suits your case and how many visits are needed.
Receding gums and persistent bleeding are usually the first sign of gingivitis or periodontitis. We provide periodontics in London at every stage, from early management to surgery. LANAP laser therapy is one of the tools: it targets the bacteria in the pocket, and alongside scaling to remove tartar below the gum line, it gives the gum the chance to reattach.
Untreated gum disease ends in tooth loss, and laser therapy is one way of halting it. Dr Ope Sodeinde assesses your case at a diagnosis-first consultation, so you have the treatment your gums need and nothing more. If the infection is too advanced for the laser, we discuss pocket reduction surgery to stabilise the area.
You receive an itemised quote at your consultation, before any treatment. To keep the result, we give you a gum disease aftercare guide for home.

Many people are uncomfortable talking about their gums. There is no judgement here; the earlier the disease is treated, the more likely the natural tooth is kept. Whether you are managing a long-standing problem or considering guided tissue regeneration, we assess your suitability at a clinical examination and give you details of gum disease treatment costs in London to help you plan.
We examine your gum pockets and bone levels. This tells us whether laser therapy suits you or whether gingivitis treatment is all that is needed, and we explain the findings before anything is planned.
The laser removes the diseased lining of the pocket and reduces the bacteria in it without a scalpel incision. We also use it in peri-implantitis treatment around implants.
We clear bacteria and tartar from the root surfaces and smooth them, which is what lets the gum reattach and slows new plaque forming.
Once the infected lining is removed, the gum tightens back around the tooth over the following weeks. We review progress to check the pocket is closing as expected.
Gum disease returns if it is not managed. A maintenance programme of regular professional cleaning is what makes the result last.
Treatment is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071), who examines your gums and reviews your medical history before planning your care. The laser procedure avoids a scalpel incision, which is why we offer it where it fits. Gum irrigation sessions can reduce inflammation between visits.
The wider range includes gingivitis treatment, scaling and root planing, subgingival cleaning, gum abscess drainage, and crown lengthening where a crown needs more tooth to sit on. Follow-up appointments are scheduled after treatment so we can check the gum tissue is healing.
Patients tell us they value a calm, unhurried manner and honest options at consultation. The same applies to urgent care such as gum abscess drainage.
Ope was incredibly skilled and made me feel at ease from the moment I arrived.
Fees depend on the extent of the disease and how many areas need treating. We set the exact cost at your initial consultation.
It depends on how many pockets are involved. We give you a timeline at your assessment; treatment may include scaling and root planing to prepare the area.
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic before treatment.
That depends on a strict maintenance programme. We agree a follow-up schedule with you to keep the disease from returning.
A clinical examination settles whether this treatment suits you. We explain what happens at your first periodontal consultation and how to book. Dr Ope Sodeinde carries out the assessment at our Primrose Hill practice and goes through the timeline and costs with you.
