Our Philosophy on Gum Care

Gentle methods, honest advice and long-term thinking — how we look after gums at 22 Wimpole Street.

Keep Teeth for Longer

Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in the UK. Addressing it early gives your natural teeth the strongest possible foundation.

Comfort-Focused Treatment

Modern periodontal techniques are designed to minimise discomfort — many patients find treatment far easier than they expected.

Trained in Periodontics

Our GDC-registered clinicians have additional training in gum treatment, so more complex cases are managed with appropriate expertise.

Causes, Not Just Symptoms

We look at why gum problems developed — hygiene habits, risk factors and health conditions — and build a plan for lasting stability.

Health and Appearance Together

From disease management to gumline reshaping, we treat both the medical and aesthetic sides of gum care.

Manageable Costs

Payment plans are available (subject to status, terms apply) so periodontal care fits alongside your other commitments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the gum health questions patients most often bring to our Marylebone practice.

The main driver is plaque bacteria building up along the gumline. Left in place, plaque hardens into tartar and sets off inflammation. Smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes, certain medications and genetics all raise the risk — which is why even people with careful hygiene can be affected.
