Single Implants | Multiple Tooth Loss | Candidates | Aftercare
Periodontitis (also referred to as gum disease) causes the gums to become swollen, sore or infected and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
8.52% of adults age 20 to 64 suffer from gum infection and disease. National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research
At Gentle Dental we use advanced technology to reverse the effects shown by gum disease and use high-quality dental implants to replace teeth lost to the disease.
Symptoms of gum disease include:
It is often the case that when one tooth has become loose that surrounding teeth may follow – especially with the added pressure on the jaw and bite.
Dental implants are often the prescribed treatment for replacing missing teeth due to their strength and durability.
Treating periodontal disease quickly is the best way to ensure as little long-term damage as possible on your oral condition.
By scheduling regular check-ups with your dentist and practising good oral hygiene habits, and avoiding things like smoking, you can dramatically reduce your likelihood of becoming victim to periodontal disease.
However, once you progress past the gingivitis stage it can be extremely difficult to slow or eliminate periodontal disease.

For dental implants to be successful, you need to have healthy teeth and gums prior to their insertion.
If you suffer from the periodontal disease then your mouth is already prone to infection and your mouth will be more likely to reject the implant.
If you do not have any active gum disease, there is no issue and we can proceed with the implant process!
If you suffer from periodontitis but you need an implant, the first step is to carry out full analysis on your case and decipher whether or not the gum disease can be treated and managed.
There are certain techniques and treatment methods we can apply to restore your oral state and make your mouth suitable for dental implants.
Sometimes dental implants are required in the post-periodontitis recovery treatment as they can replace lost teeth and avoid further movement of teeth.
