It involves the care of the structures supporting the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligaments, and alveolar bone. Our periodontists in Colchester are experts in managing conditions such as gum inflammation, gum recession, and bone loss. They utilise advanced techniques, including laser periodontics, to perform procedures like scaling and root planning, gum grafting, and dental implants.
