Gum disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis, affects millions of people worldwide. If left untreated, it can lead to serious oral health issues and even tooth loss. At Millway Dental, our team is experienced in diagnosing and treating gum disease at various stages. We use advanced techniques to thoroughly clean the gums, remove plaque and tartar buildup, and help you achieve optimal gum health.

Stages of gum disease

Gingivitis and periodontitis

Gingivitis

Gingivitis is a common form of gum disease characterized by inflammation of the gums. It is often caused by poor oral hygiene, leading to plaque buildup along the gumline. Symptoms include swollen, red gums that may bleed during brushing. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent progression to more severe periodontal disease.

Periodontitis

Periodontitis is a progressive gum disease characterized by inflammation and infection that affects the supporting structures of the teeth. It occurs when gingivitis, if left untreated, progresses to affect the deeper tissues and bone. Periodontitis can lead to tooth loss if not treated promptly, emphasizing the importance of early detection and professional intervention.

Gum grafting

For patients dealing with receding gums or gummy smiles, we offer gum grafting procedures. Gum grafting is a specialized treatment that restores the gumline and enhances the aesthetics of your smile. Our skilled periodontists perform this procedure with precision and care, using state-of-the-art techniques to achieve natural-looking results. Our team will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction throughout your gum treatment journey.

Take the first step towards a healthier smile by scheduling an appointment with our team. We strive to provide you with the highest quality dental care and helping you achieve the healthy, beautiful gums you deserve.

As usual, my Millway experience was very positive. I can always count on top notch dental service, but I have come to appreciate that I can also have conversations and share a bit of humour when it suits.

Dr Shaker is an exceptional dentist. Very calm, friendly, conscientious and extremely technically competent! I had a recent root canal which I was not excited about.
