Gum Health & Disease Care In York

Your gum assessment may include examining the gums, measuring areas around the teeth and reviewing plaque levels, bone support and contributing risk factors. We then explain your findings and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include professional cleaning, periodontal care and ongoing maintenance.

Costs depend on the severity of the condition and the level of treatment required. Following assessment, we provide a clear explanation of the recommended care and associated fees.

Untreated gum disease can progress and may eventually affect the stability of teeth. Treatment may involve temporary sensitivity or discomfort. Alternatives depend on the condition, although delaying treatment may allow disease to progress.
