Periodontitis is the advanced stage of gum disease, a severe infection that can lead to irreversible bone loss, tooth loosening, and, eventually, tooth loss. At Wallan Dental, we provide comprehensive, advanced gum disease treatment, including surgical interventions, to halt disease progression, restore the health of your supporting tissues, and stabilise your smile.
Don’t ignore the warning signs—bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or loose teeth. Early and effective treatment of periodontitis is critical for preserving your teeth and protecting your overall health, as gum disease is linked to serious systemic conditions.
While initial gum treatment focuses on professional cleaning below the gum line (scaling and root planing), advanced periodontitis often requires surgical intervention to clean deeply infected areas and, in some cases, repair or regenerate damaged bone.
Our advanced treatments are designed to:
We use advanced digital X-rays to measure the extent of bone loss and identify the depth of periodontal pockets.

Non-surgical scaling and root planing (cleaning below the gum line) is performed to remove tartar and smooth the root surfaces.

If non-surgical methods aren't enough, we may recommend procedures like flap surgery (to clean deeper roots) or pocket reduction surgery.

For patients with significant bone loss, we may use bone grafts to encourage the natural regeneration of bone and supporting tissue.

While the infection can be successfully eliminated and the disease progression can be halted, periodontitis is a chronic condition that requires lifelong management. Consistent maintenance appointments are necessary to prevent recurrence.

The surgical procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and often with sedation, so you won't feel pain during treatment. We prescribe appropriate medication to manage any mild discomfort during the healing phase.

The main cause is untreated periodontitis. The chronic bacterial infection and the body's resulting inflammatory response slowly destroy the bone and ligaments that anchor the teeth.

After successful advanced treatment, most patients need professional cleanings and periodontal charting every three to four months. This customized schedule is essential for monitoring and controlling the disease.

Untreated periodontitis will inevitably lead to further bone loss, loosening of teeth, chronic pain, abscesses, and eventually, the loss of affected teeth. It also increases the risk of systemic health issues like cardiovascular disease.
