What is Periodontal Care?

Periodontal care focuses on the health of your gums and the structures that support your teeth. Gum disease, also known as periodontitis, is a progressive condition caused by bacteria that accumulate around and beneath the gumline. If left untreated, it can result in gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.

Key Features of Our Periodontal Care

At SIA Dental, periodontics for our Melbourne patients is not just about treating existing disease—it’s also about prevention and long-term maintenance. Our care includes routine gum assessments, deep cleans (scaling and root planing), and personalised treatment plans based on your gum health.

The Benefits of Periodontal Treatment

Prevent Tooth Loss

Gum disease is one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss. With proper periodontal care, we can help you preserve your natural teeth by halting disease progression and protecting the bone that supports them.

Improve Gum Health and Appearance

Periodontal treatments for our Melbourne patients help reduce gum inflammation, bleeding, and swelling. Many patients also experience a healthier, more balanced gum line, improving both health and appearance.

Support Overall Oral and Systemic Health

Numerous studies link gum health to systemic health. By managing periodontitis, you may reduce your risk for chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. That’s why prioritising your gum health is an investment in your overall wellbeing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs of gum disease?

Common symptoms include: • Bleeding when brushing or flossing • Swollen, red, or tender gums • Persistent bad breath • Gum recession (teeth appearing longer) • Loose teeth or shifting bite Early diagnosis is key—regular check-ups allow us to catch issues before they progress.

How long does periodontal treatment take?

Treatment duration varies. A basic scale and clean may take 20–30 minutes, while more advanced periodontal care may span multiple visits over several weeks. We’ll outline a realistic timeline during your consultation.

Is periodontal treatment painful?

We prioritise your comfort. Most procedures are minimally invasive and may be performed under local anaesthetic. Post-treatment sensitivity is common but typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and gentle care.

Can gum disease be reversed with periodontal care?

Gingivitis—the early stage of gum disease—is often reversible with improved oral hygiene and professional cleaning. Periodontitis is not reversible but can be managed to prevent further damage with consistent, tailored periodontal treatment.
