Six reasons patients travel across London — and beyond — for periodontal treatment on Harley Street.
Every treatment plan is led directly by Dr Gita Auplish, a GDC-registered periodontal specialist and hospital consultant.
Two decades of experience in advanced and complex periodontal cases, in the same Harley Street practice.
Local anaesthetic and an unhurried, calm approach — built for patients who’ve avoided treatment out of nerves.
We regularly take referrals from general dentists across London for cases that need specialist attention.
We reach for surgery only when non-surgical treatment won’t be enough — never as a default.
Hygiene therapy, implant maintenance and periodontal treatment, all under one Harley Street roof.
Gum disease starts as gingivitis — inflammation of the gum tissue with no bone involvement. Left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, where the infection begins to break down the bone and ligament holding your teeth in place.
Red, swollen, bleeding gums. No bone loss. Fully reversible with treatment and good home care.
Gums detach from teeth, pockets form, bone is lost. Manageable and stabilised — but not reversed.
The earlier we catch it, the more conservative your treatment. Here’s what each stage looks like beneath the gum line.
Red, swollen gums that bleed on brushing. No bone loss — fully reversible with cleaning and improved home care.
Gums begin to detach, forming pockets of 4–5mm. Mild bone loss visible on X-ray. Stabilised non-surgically.
Pockets of 5–7mm, visible recession, occasional looseness. Scaling and root planing plus close monitoring.
Pockets 7mm+, significant bone loss, mobile teeth. Surgical and regenerative options — most teeth still saveable.
Recession can be treated with soft-tissue grafting, restoring coverage over exposed roots and reducing sensitivity.

Porcket charting, X-rays and a full periondontal diagnosis- usually 45-60 minutes. We measure and record every tooth so we can track improvement over time.

A conservative, removable option that masks recession and black

As swelling settles, gums can shrink back and reveal small gaps – “black traingles” – and some sensitivity. It can look worse, but it’s actually a sign of healthier, more stable gums. We;ll always talk this through and get consent first.
Every plan starts non-surgically. Surgery is only ever the next step — not the first one.
Pocket charting, X-rays and a full periodontal diagnosis — usually 45–60 minutes.
Scaling and root planing under local anaesthetic, over 1–2 visits.
We re-measure pockets to confirm the disease has stabilised.
Minimally invasive regenerative or corrective surgery for advanced cases.
