TREATMENT PROCESS The Consultation is divided into two visits. The first appointment is to assess your condition. The examination consists of charting your mouth, X-rays, impressions and your views. The second visit tells you the clinical level of your disease, the treatment needed and the costs involved. The Initial Therapy will reduce inflammation and swelling and stop progression of the disease to allow evaluation of your healing potential. The Definitive Treatment has the objective of eliminating any remaining gum disease and establishing long-term stability. This may involve Periodontal Surgery. The Supportive Maintenance Therapy is to maximise the life of your teeth and gums. This means regular check-ups and hygenist visits.
