Periodontitis is advanced gum disease — a bacterial infection that has progressed beyond the gum tissue to destroy the bone and ligaments supporting the teeth. Without treatment it leads to progressive bone loss, loosening of the teeth and eventually tooth loss. At Envy Smile near Brook Green, periodontitis treatment involves deep cleaning of root surfaces and a structured maintenance programme to halt progression.
Periodontitis Treatment at Envy Smile
"I went there for my dental emergency and the lovely lady at reception kindly let me in for a check-up. They did a quick X-ray followed by cleaning which actually worked. The doctor was understanding and explained the cause and advised me correctly. Definitely recommended."Patient Review ★★★★★
Periodontitis occurs when untreated gingivitis allows bacteria to spread below the gumline into the pockets around the teeth. As the bacterial infection deepens, the body's immune response causes destruction of the bone and connective tissue supporting the teeth. Pockets deepen, bacteria multiply and bone loss progresses — often silently, without significant pain.
At Envy Smile near Brook Green, periodontitis treatment involves a thorough clinical assessment (pocket depth measurements, X-rays to assess bone levels) followed by a programme of root surface debridement (root planing) — deep cleaning of the root surfaces under local anaesthetic to remove bacterial deposits. Antibiotic therapy (£100) may be recommended as an adjunct in more severe cases. Following active treatment, a structured maintenance programme is established.

Halts bone loss and prevents tooth loss. Professional periodontitis treatment stops the progression of bone destruction. Although existing bone cannot be regenerated without surgery, halting the disease preserves the teeth that remain.
Reduces pocket depth and bacterial load. Deep root planing reduces pocket depths and removes the bacterial deposits that drive ongoing bone destruction — restoring a healthier environment around the teeth.
Addresses systemic health risks. Periodontitis is linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and complications in diabetes. Treating periodontitis may have benefits beyond the mouth.
