How much does gum disease treatment cost in London?

Treatment at Sure Smile Clinic London starts from £85 for a hygiene visit and gum assessment. Deeper periodontal treatment is quoted per quadrant after we have measured your gums.

Can gum disease be reversed?

Gingivitis can be reversed completely. Periodontitis, where bone has been lost, can be stopped and stabilised but the lost bone does not regrow.

Is bleeding when I brush normal?

No. Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding almost always means inflammation and should be assessed rather than ignored.

Does gum disease affect my general health?

There are well-documented links between gum disease and diabetes, cardiovascular disease and pregnancy complications, which is why treating it matters beyond your mouth.

What is the best mouthwash for gum disease?

No mouthwash replaces cleaning between the teeth. Chlorhexidine can help short term after treatment, but interdental brushes are far more effective long term.

Gingivitis vs periodontitis

Gingivitis is inflammation of the gum only and resolves within weeks of proper cleaning. Periodontitis means the attachment and bone have been damaged — that requires periodontal treatment and lifelong maintenance to keep stable. Only measurement and X-rays can tell the two apart.

Your treatment path

Most patients start with a thorough hygiene visit, tailored cleaning instruction and, if smoking, cessation support. We re-measure after 8–12 weeks. If pockets remain deep we move to root surface debridement, and refer to a specialist periodontist for advanced or aggressive disease.
