We Understand the Language Your Gums Speak
Your gums communicate through inflammation, recession, and bleeding. It’s their way of flagging problems before they become disasters. We’ve become fluent in this biological messaging system.
Beyond just “gum disease,” we see the specific story your tissue is telling about bacteria levels, immune response, and treatment priorities. This deeper understanding means more precise treatment and better outcomes. We’re not just treating symptoms; we’re responding to the underlying conversation your gums have been trying to have with you.
Crown lengthening
We reshape your gums and, if needed, remove a small amount of bone to expose more of your tooth, allowing secure restorations, improving oral hygiene, enhancing your smile, and preventing further decay or damage for long-lasting dental health.
Dental Surgery
We perform precise surgical procedures to fix damaged or missing teeth, impacted teeth, gum disease, and jaw or bite issues, relieving pain, restoring function, preventing complications, and supporting your long-term oral health and confidence in your smile.
The Process
Our process ensures every patient receives personalised attention, comprehensive treatment, and ongoing support. From your first consultation through your complete healing, we prioritise your comfort, understanding, and long-term gum health success. This is what ‘care beyond the chair’ truly means.
Step 1
Comprehensive Discovery & Examination
Your periodontal journey at Unley Park Dental begins with a thorough assessment—including digital X-rays, periodontal probing, and comprehensive gum health evaluation—to assess your current gum condition and identify areas requiring treatment. We'll discuss your symptoms, medical history, and oral health concerns so we can create a personalised periodontal treatment plan.
Step 2
Pre-Treatment Prep
Next, we create your personal treatment strategy. Once seated in our comfortable environment, we'll explain our findings in plain English and collaborate with you on the best path forward. Whether it's deep cleaning, gum surgery, or regenerative therapy, you'll understand exactly what we're recommending and why it will restore your gum health effectively.
Step 3
Treatment Process
Then we proceed with your gum restoration using techniques designed around your comfort, not despite it. From gentle scaling and root planing to advanced surgical procedures and tissue regeneration, we combine precise periodontal expertise with compassionate understanding of your comfort. Each treatment phase is managed with attention to both your physical well-being and healing throughout your journey.
Step 4
Aftercare & Post-treatment Evaluation
After active treatment, we provide personalised maintenance guidance to preserve your restored gum health permanently. We'll schedule appropriate follow-ups, provide specialised oral hygiene instructions, and ensure you have our support long after treatment completion. Our care philosophy means we're genuinely invested in your lasting periodontal success.

Why Unley Park Dental for Periodontics?
Because our care goes beyond the chair.
And because you want a dentist who combines experience and innovation. We deliver thoughtful, individualised treatments with the latest technology—always guided by your comfort, needs, and goals.
We don’t follow the standard script. We plan deeper, communicate better, and aim higher. Our process is led by genuine relationships, not conveyor-belt care. From our technology to our tone, everything we do is about delivering a more refined experience.
Each member of our team brings a specialist skillset and a shared philosophy: excellence with empathy. Our dentists are not only highly qualified—they’re deeply committed to your comfort and results.
We built our practice on a simple belief: dental care should heal more than mouths. It should restore confidence, reduce anxiety, and respect the person behind every smile.
Our team brings decades of experience to cosmetic dentistry, and we use that to create the best personalised experience, from taking time to understand your story, creating solutions that fit your life, and celebrating small wins with you.
Our advanced technology helps—a lot— but empathy drives everything. We remember being patients too. We know the vulnerability of the dental chair, the anxiety of unknown procedures, and the relief when someone genuinely cares. That understanding shapes every service, from quick teeth whitenings to complex smile makeovers.
Patients tell us they never expected to feel comfortable at a dentist. Some even say they enjoy visits. We can’t promise miracles, but we can promise genuine care that considers who you are, not just what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a periodontist do?A periodontist specialises in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and related conditions. They manage issues such as gum inflammation, recession, bone loss, and severe infections, and perform procedures to restore gum health and support long-term dental stability.
What's the difference between a dentist and a periodontist?A general dentist provides routine care like check-ups, fillings, and basic restorations. A periodontist has advanced training in gum and supporting tissue health, focusing on treating gum disease, performing surgical procedures, and managing complex cases that require specialised expertise.
What are the four signs of periodontal disease?The four common signs of periodontal disease are:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Receding gums or longer-looking teeth
- Persistent bad breath or pus around the gums
Periodontitis cannot always be fully cured, but it can be managed effectively with professional treatment and good oral hygiene. Early intervention and ongoing care prevent progression, control infection, and maintain healthy gums and teeth long-term.
