At Sunninghill Clinic, we are proud to offer dedicated care for patients experiencing gum disease and other complex gum-related conditions. Our Specialist Periodontist provides advanced diagnosis and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, a vital service distinct from routine hygiene appointments.
Whether you have been referred by your dentist or you are seeking a second opinion, we are here to support you with clinical expertise, clarity and kindness.
What Is Periodontics?
Periodontics is the dental specialty that focuses on the supporting structures of the teeth, particularly the gums and jawbone. This includes the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and conditions such as gum recession, bone loss and inflammation.
While hygienists provide essential routine maintenance, a Specialist Periodontist is qualified to treat more complex or advanced cases and can perform both non-surgical and surgical procedures.
Supporting Sunninghill and Ascot with Specialist Periodontal Care
Our clinic has supported the community for over 25 years, with expertise you can trust and by people who genuinely care.

When Should You See a Periodontal Specialist?
You may benefit from a periodontal consultation if you have:
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- Gum recession (teeth appearing longer)
- Loose teeth or widening gaps
- Chronic bad breath
- Bone loss around the teeth (noted on x-rays)
- Gum disease that has not stabilised with standard hygiene treatments
- Been advised to consider implant placement but have a history of gum disease
What to Expect: Specialist Periodontal Treatments
Your care begins with a comprehensive periodontal assessment using detailed clinical examinations, imaging, and gum charting. We then build a tailored treatment plan, which may include:
Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy
This deep cleaning targets bacteria beneath the gumline and is more thorough than routine hygiene cleaning. It is often the first step in stabilising disease and protecting bone.
Periodontal Surgery (if required)
For advanced cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to:
- Access and clean deep gum pockets
- Regenerate lost bone or gum tissue
- Reshape the gums for better health and aesthetics
- Prepare sites for implant placement
Our Specialist Periodontist uses modern, minimally invasive techniques to support comfort, healing, and results.
Maintenance and Monitoring
Following active treatment, ongoing periodontal maintenance is vital to keep the condition stable and prevent recurrence. Your follow-up care will be carefully managed and adapted to your risk level.
Direct Access for Periodontal Consultation
If you are not currently a patient at Sunninghill Clinic, you can still book directly with our Periodontal Specialist for an expert opinion. This option is ideal for patients:
- Referred from other dental practices

Please note: This is not a replacement for regular dental check-ups or general hygiene care, it is a targeted specialist service for gum health concerns.
