Specialist Gum Disease Treatment in Chichester
Expert periodontist-led treatment to restore and protect your gum health.
Gum disease is one of the most common yet overlooked dental conditions. It often begins quietly - with bleeding when brushing, mild tenderness, or persistent bad breath - and can progress without obvious pain.
If left untreated, gum disease can lead to gum recession, bone loss and eventually tooth mobility or tooth loss. It is also increasingly linked to wider health conditions including cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
At Pallant Advanced Dentistry in Chichester, we provide specialist-led diagnosis and treatment for gum disease across Sussex. Our approach is calm, precise and tailored - focused not only on stopping the disease, but stabilising your long-term oral health.
When Should You See a Periodontist?
You may benefit from seeing a periodontist in Chichester if you notice:
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen or tender gums
- Gum recession or teeth appearing longer
- Persistent bad breath
- Spaces developing between teeth
- Teeth that feel loose or shifting
Many patients search for a “periodontist near me” when symptoms become more noticeable - but early intervention delivers the best outcomes. The sooner gum disease is treated, the more predictable and conservative your care can be.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is caused by bacteria accumulating beneath the gumline. In its early stage (gingivitis), it is reversible. In more advanced stages (periodontitis), it affects the bone supporting the teeth.
The goal of dentist treatment for gum disease is to:
- Remove infection
- Halt disease progression
- Stabilise supporting bone
- Preserve natural teeth wherever possible
At Pallant, your treatment is guided by careful periodontal charting, digital imaging and clinical assessment - ensuring we understand the severity and the most appropriate path forward.
Specialist Periodontal Treatment at Pallant
Our periodontal care is led by Dr Stefano Masilla, who provides advanced gum disease treatment in Chichester using modern, evidence-based techniques.
Comprehensive Periodontal Assessment
Your initial consultation (£260) includes detailed gum measurements, radiographic evaluation and a clear explanation of findings. We believe in transparency and informed decision-making.
Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy
For many patients, deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) can successfully remove harmful bacteria from beneath the gumline and stabilise the condition.
Advanced Surgical Periodontal Treatment
In more complex cases, minimally invasive surgical procedures may be recommended to restore gum and bone support.
Ongoing Maintenance
Periodontal stability requires structured maintenance. We create tailored hygiene and review plans to protect your results long term.
Can Gum Disease Be Cured?
Gingivitis can often be reversed with early treatment and improved oral hygiene.
Periodontitis cannot be “cured” in the traditional sense, but it can be effectively stabilised and managed with specialist care and regular maintenance.
The key is early diagnosis and ongoing professional monitoring.
