Our Periodontal Treatment Process

At Greenvale Dental House, we ensure your periodontal treatment is a smooth and comfortable journey. Here's what you can expect when you choose us for your gum health:

Consultation and Evaluation

During your initial consultation, we assess your gum health, take necessary X-rays, and discuss your concerns and treatment goals, setting the foundation for a personalised treatment plan.

Customised Treatment Plan

Based on your evaluation, we develop a tailored periodontal treatment plan. This plan outlines the necessary steps for your specific condition, whether it's scaling and root planing or more advanced treatment.

Scaling and Root Planing

For patients with gum disease, we remove plaque and tartar from beneath the gumline using precise techniques, smoothing the tooth roots to allow the gums to reattach for improved health.

Antibiotic Therapy

In some cases, we may use antibiotics to control infection and promote healing. This can involve direct application to the gums or systemic medication to combat bacteria more effectively.

Follow-Up Appointments

After your treatment, we schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your gum health. These visits ensure the treatment is progressing, and adjustments are made as necessary to maintain optimal results.

Risks & Recovery

Periodontal treatment helps manage gum disease and improve gum health, but like all dental procedures, it has risks and recovery considerations.

Possible risks include:

Temporary gum tenderness or discomfort
Minor bleeding during or after treatment
Swelling or inflammation in the treated area
Increased tooth sensitivity, especially to hot or cold
In rare cases, infection or delayed healing

Recovery considerations:

Discomfort usually settles within a few days
Improved oral hygiene is essential for long-term gum health
Mild sensitivity may last for a short period and typically decreases with time
Regular follow-up visits help monitor healing and ongoing gum stability

Proof That Gentle Dentistry Makes a Difference

From first visits to full smile transformations, hear what our patients have to say about their experience at Greenvale Dental House.

This has to be the best dental practice I have ever been to (and I’ve been to a few over the years)! Have attended both Sunbury and most recently the Bacchus Marsh Dental House. All the Staff are wonderful. I see Dr. Fong and he is amazing. He makes me feel very comfortable and at ease. He is very personable and always make me laugh. Thanks also to the lovely Hannah who assisted when I had my recent procedure done.

Not just any old dental clinic, made to feel right at Home as soon as I walked in the door. Friendly and caring team and love the color purple throughout!

Scott S.

Had my first visit to Sunbury Dental House last week – they promise a gentle approach and having a crown prep done by Dr Fong after cracking a tooth, I’ve felt comfortable during my dental appointment. Being able to watch a movie during treatment certainly helped! Looking forward to my return visit in a few weeks!

Scott S.

After hearing numerous excellent reports about this clinic, I decided to visit myself. I must say that it was a fantastic experience, even better than I expected! The clinic is bright and modern, the receptionists and nurses are friendly and help to put you at ease. The dentist is gentle, knowledgeable and explains everything so thoroughly!

I highly recommend this clinic!

I just want to say a very big thank you to Claire and her team for the excellent work l received on my recent visits to the clinic after a very bad experience. I can not recommend them highly enough for fitting me in asap especially losing a front tooth when l was out to dinner the night before. They went above and beyond and to attend to this disaster was unbelievable. I am so thankful that they were able to help and would not go anywhere else. So professional in everything they did especially as l am extremely nervous about dentists. Thank you again ??

FAQs

Gum disease (gingivitis) is the early stage of periodontal disease. It primarily affects the soft tissues of the gums, causing redness, swelling, and bleeding. If left untreated, it progresses to periodontal disease, which can affect the deeper supporting tissues and bones around your teeth. Periodontal disease can lead to tooth mobility and tooth loss if not managed appropriately.

Treatment in the early stages of gum disease can prevent its progression into periodontal disease, which is more complex and requires more invasive treatment. Periodontal disease can be successfully managed with the right care and interventions.

The length of periodontal treatment varies depending on the severity of the disease. Non-surgical treatments such as scaling and root planing may take one or two sessions, whereas surgical treatments for more advanced stages can take longer. The total treatment time also depends on the number of teeth involved and how quickly the patient responds to therapy.

After an initial assessment, your dentist will provide a more accurate treatment timeline based on your unique needs and progress.

Many patients report minimal discomfort during scaling and root planing, as the procedure is usually performed with local anaesthesia. Some swelling or tenderness may occur afterward, but this typically resolves within a few days. If surgical treatment is necessary, anaesthesia options are available to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

Your dentist will guide you through the aftercare and recommend pain relief strategies, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout the recovery process.

Yes, gums may recede slightly as inflammation resolves. This can make teeth look longer and sometimes cause temporary sensitivity.
