Periodontics
Protecting the Foundation of Your Smile
At Kin Dental, we believe that a healthy smile begins with healthy gums.
Periodontics is the specialised area of dentistry focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease, as well as the management of the supporting structures around your teeth.
Strong, healthy gums are not only vital for your oral health — they’re essential for your overall wellbeing and the long-term beauty of your smile.
Whether you need routine gum care, advanced treatment, or surgical support, our team offers compassionate expertise, modern techniques, and personalised care every step of the way.
What Is Periodontics?
Periodontics focuses on maintaining the health of the gums, bone, and tissues that support your teeth.
When these foundations are compromised — by gum disease, infection, recession, or trauma — it can affect not only your oral health but also your ability to speak, eat, and smile with confidence.
At Kin Dental, we take a proactive and holistic approach to periodontal care, protecting both your health and your aesthetics.

Advanced Periodontal Disease
Restoring Health, Strength, and Confidence to Your Smile
Advanced periodontal disease (periodontitis) occurs when gum disease progresses beyond the early stages.
At this point, the infection extends deeper below the gum line, causing damage to the bone and ligaments that hold your teeth in place.
Without treatment, it can lead to gum recession, tooth mobility, tooth loss, and may even impact your overall health.
At Kin Dental, we are committed to providing comprehensive, evidence-based care that focuses not just on managing symptoms — but on rebuilding a foundation for lasting oral health.
Signs of Advanced Periodontal Disease
You may be experiencing advanced gum disease if you notice:
Gums that bleed easily during brushing or flossing
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth
Receding gums, making teeth look longer
Teeth that feel loose or shift when biting
Pain or sensitivity around the gums
Deep pockets forming between the teeth and gums
Early diagnosis and intervention are key to minimising further damage and preserving your natural teeth.

Patient Journey Timeline for Advanced Periodontal Care
Step 1
Comprehensive Consultation and Diagnosis
We begin with a detailed periodontal assessment, including imaging and gum health measurements, to understand the extent of the disease and create a personalised treatment plan.
Step 2
Initial Non-Surgical Therapy
Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is performed to remove plaque and bacterial deposits beneath the gums, reducing inflammation and allowing healing to begin.
Step 3
Reassessment and Planning
After initial therapy, we reassess your response to treatment. If necessary, we plan surgical interventions such as flap surgery, bone regeneration, or gum grafting for areas requiring further support.
Step 4
Surgical Treatment (If Needed)
For advanced cases, surgical therapies may be performed with a focus on restoring gum health, regenerating lost structures, and creating a clean environment for healing.
Step 5
Maintenance and Long-Term Care
Once stability is achieved, we transition you into a personalised periodontal maintenance program — with regular professional cleanings, monitoring, and preventive care to protect your results for life.
Gum Recession Treatment
Restoring Protection, Health, and Beauty to Your Smile
At Kin Dental, we understand that a healthy smile begins with healthy gums.
Gum recession — when the gum tissue pulls away from the teeth — can affect both the appearance and health of your smile, leaving teeth looking longer, feeling sensitive, and exposing roots to damage.
Fortunately, with today’s advanced techniques, gum recession can be effectively treated to restore strength, aesthetics, and protection to your smile.
Our team is here to guide you with expert care, personalised solutions, and a gentle, compassionate approach every step of the way.
What Is Gum Recession?
Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth gradually wears away or pulls back, exposing more of the tooth or even the tooth's root.
It can result from a variety of causes, including:
Periodontal (gum) disease
Aggressive tooth brushing
Genetics
Orthodontic movement
Trauma or injury
Grinding or clenching habits
When left untreated, recession can lead to tooth sensitivity, increased risk of decay, cosmetic concerns, and even eventual tooth loss.
How We Treat Gum Recession at Kin Dental
Every case of gum recession is unique, and your treatment will be personalised based on the extent and cause of the recession.
Our solutions may include:
Gum Grafting
A delicate procedure that uses your own tissue or a carefully selected donor material to rebuild and restore the receded gum line, covering exposed roots and enhancing gum health.Periodontal Therapy
If gum disease is a contributing factor, deep cleaning treatments such as scaling and root planing are used to remove infection and stabilise gum health before restorative procedures.Bite Adjustment or Orthodontic Support
In cases where bite forces or misalignment contribute to recession, adjustments or orthodontic intervention may be recommended to protect your results long term.
At Kin Dental, we focus on minimally invasive techniques, exceptional aesthetic outcomes, and gentle care throughout your treatment journey.
