Periodontics

We want you to have healthy teeth and for your oral hygiene to be in excellent condition. That involves not only normal disciplines of dentistry but also the specialism of periodontics. **Periodontics is a practice which looks at the supporting structures of your teeth – the clever, natural mechanisms that hold them firmly in place, and the condition of your gums. Periodontal diseases take on many forms and untreated can lead to bone and tooth loss. **Mr Carl Horton BDS MSc PG CertPeriodontology is responsible for delivering the practice’s periodontics care. He is an accomplished micro surgeon, carries out gum realignment/grafting procedures, surgically addresses ‘gummy smiles’, undertakes bone grafting and other procedures he describes as “the equivalent to keyhole surgery.” **His work also embraces highly complex referrals as well as dealing with more common gum-related conditions and aesthetics care.
