Frequently Asked Questions

Common signs include bleeding gums, redness, swelling, persistent bad breath, and an unpleasant taste. Receding gums or loose teeth may indicate more advanced periodontal disease. It is important to note that early stages of gum disease are often silent, without noticeable pain or discomfort. Routine dental visits play a critical role in early detection and timely intervention before the condition progresses.

Yes. Gum disease has been linked to systemic conditions such as cardiovascular issues and diabetes. Chronic inflammation in the gums can contribute to overall health concerns. Maintaining healthy gums is therefore not only important for oral health but also for general well-being.

We offer scaling and root planing, curettage, laser gum therapy, gum contouring, and structured maintenance programs. Treatment is carefully tailored based on the stage and severity of the condition following a detailed clinical evaluation by Dr. A. Arul Pradeep, ensuring precise, effective, and long-term results.

Diagnosis involves a comprehensive clinical examination, assessment of gum health, pocket depth evaluation, and imaging when required. Based on these findings, a customised treatment plan is created to control infection, restore gum health, and prevent recurrence.

Most procedures are performed under local anaesthesia and are generally comfortable. Laser-assisted treatments further reduce discomfort, swelling, and recovery time, making the overall experience smoother and more patient-friendly.

Mild sensitivity, slight swelling, or minor bleeding may occur for a short period after treatment. These effects are temporary and usually resolve quickly with proper care and guidance.

Recovery varies depending on the procedure:

  • Minor treatments: a few days
  • Gum contouring: typically 3–7 days

Mild sensitivity or swelling may occur temporarily and resolves quickly with proper care.

Gum contouring is a procedure that reshapes the gum line to improve both appearance and hygiene. It is ideal for individuals with a gummy smile, uneven gum levels, or excess tissue. It may also be combined with smile design treatments for comprehensive aesthetic results.

Yes. Healthy gums play a key role in framing the teeth and enhancing overall smile symmetry. Well-contoured, healthy gums contribute significantly to both aesthetic appearance and functional balance.

Results can be long-lasting when supported by good oral hygiene and regular maintenance. Since gum disease can recur, ongoing professional care and monitoring are essential to maintain stability and prevent progression.

Receded gums do not regenerate naturally, but further progression can be controlled. In certain cases, specialised procedures may be recommended to restore gum levels and improve both function and appearance.

Maintenance visits are typically recommended every 3 to 6 months, depending on your condition, to prevent recurrence and ensure long-term gum health.

Consistent oral hygiene, including proper brushing and flossing, along with regular professional cleanings and monitoring, is essential. Lifestyle factors such as diet and overall health also play a role in maintaining healthy gums.

Yes. Periodontal treatments are safe and highly effective when performed by an experienced clinician. Treating gum disease helps prevent tooth loss, reduces bacterial load, and improves overall oral health — creating a strong foundation for all other dental treatments.

The cost varies depending on the severity of the condition and the type of treatment required. A detailed evaluation is necessary to provide a personalised treatment plan along with a clear and transparent estimate.
