At Smile Society, we believe that great dentistry starts below the surface. Gum disease is one of the most common and most overlooked dental conditions in the UK, yet left untreated, it can silently damage the bone supporting your teeth and even affect your wider health. Our periodontal care is designed to catch problems early, treat them effectively, and keep your gums in optimal health for the long term.
Whether you’ve noticed bleeding gums, sensitivity around the gum line, or you’ve been told by another dentist that you need specialist treatment, our team at Smile Society is here to help.
When gums pull back from the teeth, a condition known as gum recession, the sensitive root surface beneath becomes exposed. This can cause discomfort, increase the risk of decay, and affect the appearance of your smile.
A connective tissue graft covers the exposed root, protecting it from erosion and restoring a more natural, balanced gum line. For suitable patients, we also offer tunnelling treatment, a highly conservative approach with minimal downtime and success rates consistently in the 90th percentile.
A healthy mouth isn’t just about your teeth. Let Smile Society help you build the strong foundations your smile deserves.
This is often the first line of defence against active gum disease. Using a combination of hand instruments and ultrasonic scalers, we carefully remove bacterial plaque and calculus (tartar) from the root surfaces beneath the gum line. The goal is to disrupt the disease process before it progresses to the bone.
Depending on the severity of your condition, we may recommend a course of treatment across multiple visits.
At Smile Society, we use advanced diagnostic tools to give you the most accurate assessment possible. Our intraoral camera lets you see exactly what we see, displayed clearly on screen, so we can walk through findings together.
Smile Society welcomes referrals from dental practices across the area. Referred patients receive the same level of attentive, personalised care as our own practice members.
We offer both surgical and non-surgical periodontal interventions and will keep referring clinicians informed throughout the treatment process.
Every story reflects our commitment to care, comfort and confidence.
