It starts with plaque — a sticky film of bacteria that builds up on your teeth. If not removed, this can irritate the gums, causing them to become red, swollen, and bleed easily — this early stage is called gingivitis.
If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, where the bone and tissues that hold your teeth in place begin to break down. Over time, this can lead to gum recession, loose teeth, and even tooth loss.
At Gibside Dental, we provide advanced periodontal care to repair, protect, and regenerate these essential tissues—with the latest techniques, gentle precision and genuine care.
Our clinicians use state-of-the-art periodontal techniques to treat gum and bone disease as precisely and conservatively as possible. Using microscopic-level instruments, digital imaging, minimally invasive protocols, and regenerative materials, we aim to reduce the need for large incisions/traumatic treatment and speed up recovery time.
Every treatment is performed in a clean, modern environment with the latest sterilisation facilities—because meticulous hygiene is the cornerstone of safe and effective care.
A frenectomy corrects a tight or prominent frenum (the small band of tissue between the lip or under the tongue) that can cause gum recession, spacing issues between teeth, or speech difficulties. The procedure is gentle and quick, using a state-of-the-art laser, and is often performed with minimal discomfort and healing time.
This procedure reshapes gum and bone tissue to expose more of a tooth’s surface—sometimes to support a restoration so heavily broken-down teeth can be crowned, allowing you to keep your own teeth for longer, and sometimes to improve symmetry in a smile. Functional precision and aesthetic artistry come together here to create balance and harmony.
Receding gums can expose tooth roots, causing sensitivity and an aged appearance. Using microsurgical methods, we can carefully reposition gum tissue or graft gum from another area to cover exposed roots, improving both comfort and appearance.
When gum and bone loss cause teeth to become mobile, periodontal splinting helps stabilise them. This involves linking teeth together using discreet, high-strength materials so they can share support—restoring comfort and function while deeper healing takes place.
In cases of advanced tissue loss, gingival veneers offer a clever aesthetic solution. These custom-made, gum-coloured prostheses restore the natural look of gum tissue, blending seamlessly with your smile and improving both appearance and confidence.

Patients value the way we make complex treatment feel approachable, calm and supportive.
While advanced care can do remarkable things, the real art lies in keeping the foundations strong in the first place. Bone and gum tissue, once lost, don’t easily return—they’re like the roots of a tree; if they weaken, the branches above can’t thrive.
That’s why we partner closely with our hygiene-therapists and patients to protect what supports every smile: healthy tissue, balanced bacteria and oral microbiomes, and informed daily care. Our goal is to help you understand why things happen, not just what we’re doing—because informed care is lasting care.
Gum and bone health are the quiet foundations of your smile—and they deserve the same level of care, precision and respect as every visible tooth. At Gibside Dental, advanced periodontal treatment is delivered with the same calm ethos as everything we do: gentle hands, clear communication and care built around you.
Treatments are carried out under local anaesthetic, and we use minimally invasive methods wherever possible. Many patients are surprised at how comfortable the process feels.
Signs include bleeding gums, loose teeth, gum recession or persistent bad breath. We can assess your gum health thoroughly using digital scans and measurements.
In some cases, yes. Regenerative techniques like Emdogain can encourage new growth of bone and attachment tissue—but early diagnosis is key and careful case selection.
