Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Gum disease (periodontal disease) is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults — yet it is largely preventable with the right care. At Envy Smile near Shepherd's Bush, our dental team provides gum disease assessment, hygiene treatment and periodontal therapy to restore and maintain gum health.
At Envy Smile
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a bacterial infection of the gums and, in more advanced cases, the bone supporting the teeth. It begins as gingivitis — redness, swelling and bleeding of the gums — and if untreated, can progress to periodontitis, where the bone and tissues supporting the teeth are destroyed.
Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults and has been linked to wider health conditions including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Early detection and professional treatment significantly improves outcomes — and in many cases gum health can be fully restored with the right care.

Prevents tooth loss. Untreated gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Prompt professional treatment can halt progression and preserve the teeth and bone that remain.
Protects your overall health. Research links periodontal disease to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes complications and other systemic conditions. Treating gum disease may have benefits beyond your mouth.
Sustained good oral health. A maintained programme of professional hygiene at regular intervals — combined with effective home care — significantly reduces the risk of gum disease returning and keeps your teeth and gums in optimal health long-term.
