Gum Health in London
Considered care, planned in writing
Every plan begins with a £30 new patient consultation and a written, itemised quote — confirmed before any treatment starts.
Gums are the foundation of every smile, yet gum disease is largely silent — it rarely hurts until it is advanced, which is why it remains a leading cause of adult tooth loss in the UK. If you have noticed bleeding when brushing, persistent bad breath, recession or teeth that feel slightly loose, an assessment is worth arranging sooner rather than later. Our Wimpole Street practice provides structured gum care in London, from routine hygiene support through to periodontal therapy for established disease.
Treatment is staged to the severity of the problem. Early gingivitis often responds well to professional hygiene care and improved home routines. Where pockets have formed around the teeth, structured gum disease treatment — deep scaling and root surface debridement with pocket-depth charting — starts from £850, delivered as a planned course with review appointments to measure genuine improvement rather than assume it. Everything is set out in a written, itemised quote before treatment begins.
We also look after the aesthetic side of gum health. Gum contouring, from £200 per tooth, can refine an uneven gum line, and gummy smile treatment and care for receding gums are planned individually and quoted after consultation — always starting with the most conservative option that addresses the cause. Recession in particular has several possible causes, from brushing technique to grinding, and treating the cause matters as much as treating the symptom.
This is careful, methodical dentistry delivered by experienced clinicians who take gum health seriously — measurement, therapy, re-measurement and long-term maintenance, because periodontal disease is managed over time rather than fixed in a single visit. We will always be honest about what treatment can and cannot achieve for your individual case, and smokers, diabetic patients and those with a family history of gum disease receive particularly close monitoring.
You will find us on Wimpole Street in Marylebone, near Harley Street and a short walk from Bond Street, Oxford Circus and Regent's Park stations. Patients come from across London for gum treatment here — some referred by their own dentist, many self-referred after noticing bleeding gums — and appointments for assessment are usually available within days.
Our treatments
Gum Health treatments

Receding Gums
Diagnosis and treatment of gum recession — non-surgical care first, with grafting options where needed.
Common signs include bleeding when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, red or puffy gums, recession and teeth that feel slightly loose. None of these is a diagnosis on its own, and smokers in particular may see little bleeding even with active disease — which is why a proper assessment with pocket-depth charting matters. If you have noticed any of these signs, it is worth booking an examination.
Gingivitis — the early, reversible stage — generally resolves with professional cleaning and good home care. Established periodontitis cannot be reversed, but for many patients it can be stabilised and managed successfully with structured therapy and ongoing maintenance, protecting the teeth for the long term. Outcomes vary between individuals, and your clinician will give you an honest assessment of what treatment can achieve in your case.
A hygiene visit is £89 (£49 for new patients) and structured periodontal therapy starts from £850, depending on how many areas are affected and how many visits your course requires. Gum contouring starts from £200 per tooth. Because severity varies so much, you receive a written, itemised quote after your assessment, confirmed before any treatment begins — never a figure plucked from a price list alone.
It should not be. Deep scaling and root surface debridement are carried out under local anaesthetic where needed, and most patients describe the visits as far more comfortable than they expected. Some tenderness and temporary sensitivity can follow as the gums heal, which usually settles within days. Nervous patients are welcome — tell us when you book and appointments can be paced to suit you.
Bleeding usually signals inflammation from plaque and hardened tartar in areas brushing alone cannot reach — often between the teeth and below the gum line. Brushing harder tends to make things worse, not better. Professional cleaning to remove the deposits, plus tailored advice on interdental cleaning, resolves the bleeding for many patients. If it persists, pocket charting will check for established gum disease.
