Periodontics in Chelsea and Sloane Square
Dr Nikolaos Gkranias, is our resident periodontist.
Re-gaining good periodontal health is often accomplished through non-surgical periodontal treatment, including scaling and root planing: a careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and calculus (tartar) from deep periodontal pockets and to smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins, as needed on a case-by-case basis.
If you’re diagnosed with periodontal disease, your periodontist may recommend periodontal surgery. Periodontal surgery is necessary when your periodontist determines that the tissue around your teeth is unhealthy and cannot be repaired with non-surgical treatment. The following are the four types of surgical treatments most commonly prescribed:
- Pocket Reduction Procedures
- Regenerative Procedures
- Crown Lengthening
- Soft Tissue Grafts
