Gum Disease Treatment in Hanwell
Most Gum Disease Is Manageable. None of It Improves Without Action..
At Hanwell Smiles on Uxbridge Road, we assess gum health at every appointment – measuring the depth of the pockets around your teeth, noting any bleeding, and reviewing bone levels on X-ray. Early treatment delivers better outcomes at lower cost than managing advanced disease.
Gingivitis is reversible — but only if treated
Bleeding gums and swollen gum tissue that responds to professional cleaning and better home care — caught early, it doesn't have to become anything worse
Deep cleaning for periodontitis — under local anaesthetic
When infection has spread below the gum line, root planing removes deposits from the root surface — a thorough, clinical process that creates the conditions for the gum to heal
Long-term maintenance — we build a schedule around your risk level
Gum disease is managed over time. We design maintenance intervals matched to your disease history — not a blanket six-month policy that ignores what we've found

What's Included in Your
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease treatment at Hanwell Smiles is structured — from diagnosis to the maintenance that keeps the disease under control.
Full Periodontal Assessment
We measure pocket depths around every tooth, record bleeding on probing, assess gum recession and mobility, and review bone levels on X-ray. This baseline maps the severity of your gum disease and tracks progress over time.
Personalised Treatment Plan
We design treatment that matches what we found — not a generic protocol. Scale and polish for gingivitis, deep cleaning for periodontitis, or a combination. All costs and appointments confirmed in advance.
Supragingival Cleaning
Removal of plaque and tartar from all surfaces above the gum line — the starting point for any periodontal treatment programme. This alone reverses gingivitis in many patients when combined with improved home care.
Subgingival Cleaning (Root Planing)
For periodontitis, we clean below the gum line under local anaesthetic, removing deposits from the root surfaces deep within the pockets. This is carried out by quadrant — typically across two to four appointments.
Re-Assessment at 6–8 Weeks
After completing root planing, we remeasure pocket depths and compare them to baseline. This tells us whether the disease has stabilised and determines the maintenance interval going forward.
Maintenance Programme
Gum disease doesn't have a single cure — it's managed over time. We schedule maintenance hygiene appointments at intervals appropriate to your disease history, typically every 3 to 4 months for periodontitis patients.

Treating the Cause
Root Planing Cleaning Below the Gum
Root planing — also called subgingival debridement — is the primary treatment for periodontitis. It’s carried out under local anaesthetic, one quarter of the mouth at a time. Specialist instruments are used to remove deposits from the root surfaces within the gum pockets — the areas impossible to reach with a standard scale and polish.
Root planing under local anaesthetic — quadrant by quadrant, typically 2–4 appointments
Re-assessment at 6–8 weeks — pocket depths remeasured, response evaluated, maintenance planned

WHY IT MATTERS
Why Gum Disease Is the Leading Cause of
Tooth Loss in London
Gum disease is almost entirely painless in its early and middle stages. Most patients who develop significant bone loss around their teeth had no idea it was happening — and that’s exactly what makes it dangerous.
Irreversible Bone Loss
Periodontitis destroys the bone and connective tissue that hold teeth in place. Unlike other tissues in the body, this bone does not regenerate naturally once lost. Early treatment stabilises the loss. Late treatment can only manage what remains.
Systemic Health Connection
The research linking periodontal disease to cardiovascular disease, poorly controlled diabetes, and adverse pregnancy outcomes is now well-established. Chronic gum infection creates a state of low-level systemic inflammation — treating it has measurable health benefits beyond the mouth.
Implant Risk
Patients with a history of periodontitis carry a significantly higher risk of peri-implantitis — bacterial infection around an implant that can lead to implant failure. Controlling gum disease before implant placement and maintaining it carefully afterwards is essential.
How Often Should I Have Gum Treatment?
Patients with active or historical periodontitis need maintenance hygiene appointments every 3 to 4 months — not the standard six months recommended for healthy adults. The 3–4 month interval reflects the time it takes for bacteria to re-colonise the pockets after professional cleaning. The frequency is clinical, not commercial.
