GUM DISEASE DENTIST IN CASTLE HILL
Keep Your Gums Healthy and Strong with Professional Gum Treatment
Advanced Gum Therapy
Gum disease is a common problem that can lead to serious oral health issues if left untreated. Gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) is a bacterial infection of the gums that, if left untreated, can damage the bone that supports your teeth. Gum therapy is a set of procedures designed to treat and prevent gum disease, as well as other issues affecting the gum tissue.
At our clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of gum therapy services to help our patients maintain healthy gums and teeth. Our experienced team of dental professionals uses the latest techniques and technology to provide effective gum therapy treatments, tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
Causes of Gum Disease
It occurs when there is inflammation and infection of the gums and tissues that surround and support the teeth. There are several causes of gum disease, including:
- Poor Oral Hygiene
- Smoking and Tobacco Use
- Genetics
- Hormonal Changes
- Certain Medications
- Crooked Teeth
- Systemic Diseases
Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease
It’s important to recognize the signs and symptoms of gum disease so that it can be treated promptly. Here are some common signs and symptoms of gum disease:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding gums, especially when brushing or flossing
- Receding gums, which make teeth appear longer
- Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
- Loose teeth or changes in the way teeth fit together
- Pus between the teeth and gums
- Changes in the bite or the way dentures fit
- Deep pockets between the teeth and gums
If you experience any of these symptoms, contact us now for an evaluation. Early detection and treatment of gum disease can help prevent further damage to your teeth and gums.
Professional Gum Therapy Services
Gum therapy involves a range of treatments, from professional cleaning to surgery, to restore the health of your gums and prevent further damage to your teeth and supporting structures.
Scaling and Root Planing
Root planing is the process of smoothing out the rough surfaces on the tooth roots, which helps to prevent further plaque buildup.
Laser Gum Therapy
Laser gum therapy is effective for removing infected gum tissue and promoting the growth of healthy tissue.
Antibiotic Therapy
Antibiotics can be used in conjunction with scaling and root planing to treat gum disease.
Gum Surgery
In severe cases, gum surgery may be necessary to treat gum disease. Our clinic offers a range of gum surgery procedures, including gum grafting, flap surgery, and bone grafting.

Literally the best experience ever with Dr Ankita! She is just my hero. Not only is she soooo clever, a true expert, but also so honest and realistic with always my teeth health as her first priority. It’s been a pleasure putting my trust in her and all her team Dave, Maria and Aaron! I literally look forward to going to each appointment!
I now have 10 perfect porcelain veneers which look incredible and it’s widened and brightened my smile. The veneers were not purely for cosmetic purposes, I needed to fix my bite which was incorrect after poor orthodontic treatment when I was young! I am now pain free in my jaw after 18 years of pain, teeth grinding and erosion/damage and headaches and migraines. Dr Ankita restored my teeth to good health as I had bad enamel erosion. Now they are protected:) I am sooo happy, my teeth are literally perfect - added bonus of having a perfect smile now too, and the whole process was exciting, fun, pain free and even relaxing. I enjoyed every moment of the process and the best part for me is my natural teeth still basically look the same underneath, minimal prep was done and I am so happy with that. Not to mention the incredible price, with a payment plan it is sooo affordable. I had consults with three other providers closer to my area which were sooo much more expensive and had hidden costs. Dr Ankita gave me an all inclusive quote up front for the entire thing which was amazing - other providers had only given the cost of the veneers themselves then had additional thousands added on top later!
I valued her transparency so much!
It wasn’t the cost that made me choose All Cosmetic Dental, Castle Hill, though, it was Dr Ankita, soon as I had my first consult - I just knew and could feel she genuinely cared and wanted to work together with me towards correcting my teeth issues and in turn the added bonus of a Hollywood smile! Love you guys, already looking forward to my next appointment. Thank you so much 🙂 so grateful!!!!

I had veneers done a few months ago and I couldn’t be any happier. The full service from initial consultation to the end result was easy, comfortable and thorough. The attention to detail is what really impressed me. Dr Ankita was incredibly genuine, gentle and kind. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you for the wonderful service.

Ankita Sahu is the best dentist I have gone to so far. I would have gone to almost 10 different dentists over a period of 20 years and she is the best. After getting my crown fixed - my husband could not even tell which one it was. And the service right from reception to dentist was simple and good. A place I could trust and go back again 🙂

Yes, gum disease is extremely common. According to the CDC, more than 47% of adults over the age of 30 have some form of gum disease.
Some of the most common signs of gum disease include: bleeding gums (especially when flossing or brushing), persistent bad breath, tooth sensitivity, bright red or inflamed gums, pain while chewing or talking, receding gums, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms you should visit a periodontist to get diagnosed and treated.
Gingivitis describes the early stages of gum disease when excess plaque begins to form around the base of the teeth, leading to gum inflammation and discomfort. Periodontitis occurs when gingivitis has gone untreated. In this stage, small holes begin to form between the teeth and gums, allowing harmful bacteria to build up and lead to bone loss.
Most periodontal treatments involve deep cleaning of plaque and any existing spaces between the teeth and gums, along with a comprehensive at-home dental care plan. For more extreme cases, your gum disease dentist may recommend surgical removal of damaged tissue and reconstruction of the bone.
The best way to prevent gum disease is to practice daily at-home dental care such as brushing, flossing, and using a quality mouthwash. It’s also important to come in and get professional cleanings and exams twice a year.
