Comprehensive Care from the Moment You Arrive

At Precision Periodontics, we prioritise your comfort and confidence from the very first visit. Every patient’s oral health is unique, and our goal is to provide a personalised care plan tailored to your needs. Here’s what you can expect when you step into our clinic for your initial consultation.

STEP 1:

Warm Welcome and Check-In

Our friendly team will greet you upon arrival, ensuring a smooth and stress-free start. We’ll guide you through a quick check-in process to gather essential information about your medical and dental history.

STEP 2:

Comprehensive Consultation

Your first visit includes an in-depth discussion with our experienced periodontist. This is your opportunity to share concerns, symptoms, or specific dental goals. Whether you’re here for gum disease management, implants, or a cosmetic procedure, we take the time to understand your needs.

STEP 3:

Advanced Assessment

We’ll perform a thorough examination, which may include digital X-rays and a detailed analysis of your gums and teeth. This allows us to identify any underlying issues and ensure you receive an accurate diagnosis.

STEP 4:

Treatment Plan Tailored to You

Following the assessment, we’ll develop a customised treatment plan. You’ll receive a clear explanation of the recommended steps, timelines, and any alternatives. Our team will also discuss potential costs and answer any insurance-related questions to help you make informed decisions.

What to Do If You’re Referred by a General Dentist

If you’ve been referred to us by your general dentist, rest assured you’re in expert hands. Your dentist has provided us with important details about your oral health. Here’s what you need to know for a smooth process:

Bring Relevant Documentation

Ensure you bring any referral letters, X-rays, or records your general dentist has provided. These documents help us gain better insight into your case.

Discuss Your Dental History

During your consultation, we’ll review your referral and ask about your medical and dental history to further personalise your care.

Collaborative Approach

We work closely with your referring dentist, keeping them informed about your treatment progress and ensuring seamless continuity of care.

Our team is here to support you and make this transition as easy as possible. If you have any questions about your referral, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Implants are now a routine treatment option for lost dentition. Also, in many cases where a prognosis of a tooth is not favourable the clinician may advise the patient to opt for an implant. But a lot of people assume that these prosthetic structures will be free of complications, but this is not entirely true. For example, peri-implant disease is an infection that can affect the gums after an implant is placed. Routine assessments can allow for early treatment intervention, which can prevent the escalation of peri-implant disease.

This procedure is actually simpler than it sounds. Local anesthetic is administered for the procedure and it’s painless. Furthermore, your periodontist will prescribe pain medications for you to use to relieve post-operative pain (should you experience pain after the surgery).

As the crown lengthening procedure may expose some of the root surface of the tooth, hot and cold sensitivity is normal for a few weeks after the surgery. This sensitivity will resolve with time, or when your dentist has placed the crown/filling on your tooth.

Occasionally the area may bleed for a while after the procedure, but if the bleeding does not stop within 24 hours you must contact your periodontist.

Peri-implant disease is the infection that can affect the gums after an implant is placed.

It is very important that a periodontist examines and analyses the anatomic situation of the area of the extracted tooth before an implant is placed. This will ensure that the foundation for where the implant is being placed (the soft and hard tissue surrounding the implant) is optimal for dental implant.

Yes, as some of the bone and tissue around the tooth are removed it will look longer than before.
