Frequently Asked Questions

Get The Answers You Need to Make Confident Decisions About Your Smile

How do I know if I have gum disease?

Early gum disease (gingivitis) can cause swollen or bleeding gums when brushing. As it worsens, you might notice receding gums or loose teeth.

If I have gum disease, can I still get dental implants?

Yes, but the right groundwork needs to be laid first. The team handles infections and, where necessary, carries out bone or gum grafts to make sure there is a solid foundation before moving forward.

Can a dental implant get gum disease?

Yes, and it’s called Peri-implantitis. We help you prevent and treat these infections. Regular specialist check-ups help monitor your implants.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see you?

No, a referral from your general dentist is not required. While many patients are referred, you are welcome to contact our office directly to schedule a consultation with a specialist. In some cases, we may coordinate care with your general dentist if needed.

Please contact us directly to schedule a visit or learn how we can help you.
