Persistent

Bacteria trapped in periodontal pockets is a common, treatable cause — not always a hygiene failure on your part.

Specialist gum care, built around confidence

Six reasons patients travel across London — and beyond — for periodontal treatment on Harley Street.

Specialist-led,
not general care

Every treatment plan is led directly by Dr Gita Auplish, a GDC-registered periodontal specialist and hospital consultant.

20+ years on Harley Street

Two decades of experience in advanced and complex periodontal cases, in the same Harley Street practice.

Gentle by
design

Local anaesthetic and an unhurried, calm approach — built for patients who’ve avoided treatment out of nerves.

Trusted by referring dentists

We regularly take referrals from general dentists across London for cases that need specialist attention.

Minimally
invasive first

We reach for surgery only when non-surgical treatment won’t be enough — never as a default.

One practice,
full care

Hygiene therapy, implant maintenance and periodontal treatment, all under one Harley Street roof.

Gingivitis vs periodontitis

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.

Gingivitis

Red, swollen, bleeding gums. No bone loss. Fully reversible with treatment and good home care.

Periodontitis

Gums detach from teeth, pockets form, bone is lost. Manageable and stabilised — but not reversed.

The four stages of gum disease

The earlier we catch it, the more conservative your treatment. Here’s what each stage looks like beneath the gum line.

Stage 1

Gingivitis

Red, swollen gums that bleed on brushing. No bone loss — fully reversible with cleaning and improved home care.

Stage 2

Early Periodontitis

Gums begin to detach, forming pockets of 4–5mm. Mild bone loss visible on X-ray. Stabilised non-surgically.

Stage 3

Moderate Periodontitis

Pockets of 5–7mm, visible recession, occasional looseness. Scaling and root planing plus close monitoring.

Stage 4

Gingivitis

Pockets 7mm+, significant bone loss, mobile teeth. Surgical and regenerative options — most teeth still saveable.

Noticed your gums pulling back from your teeth?

Recession can be treated with soft-tissue grafting, restoring coverage over exposed roots and reducing sensitivity.

Assessment

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.

Two ways to treat recession

Gum Grafting

Surgical soft-tissue grafting restores coverage over exposed roots

Gum Veneers

A conservative, removable option that masks recession and black

Why do my gums look different after treatment?

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.

How we treat Gum Disease

Every plan starts non-surgically. Surgery is only ever the next step — not the first one.

Assessment

Pocket charting, X-rays and a full periodontal diagnosis — usually 45–60 minutes.

Non-surgical Treatment

Scaling and root planing under local anaesthetic, over 1–2 visits.

Review

We re-measure pockets to confirm the disease has stabilised.

Surgical care, if needed

Minimally invasive regenerative or corrective surgery for advanced cases.
