Bleeding gums, treated early and well.
Gum disease is one of the most common oral health problems we see, caused by a build-up of bacteria that leaves gums red, inflamed and prone to bleeding. Caught early, it's usually straightforward to treat and reverse.

“I always feel comfortable attending this clinic. Dr Azhar Bakhshi & assistant Roxana are really great. I strongly recommend this dental clinic ❤️”
VKVictor KGoogle · Dec 2025 “I have just finished a long treatment plan with Dr. Bakhshi and I'm so glad I found this practice! Due to a failed root canal at another practice, I needed an extraction, jaw bone graft and dental implant here. I was really nervous but couldn't have been in better hands. It was a long process (approx 1 year) but they really took their time to get it right. During my treatment I actually moved to Newcastle but drove back for every single appointment, that's how brilliant they are! Special shout out to Kirsty and Roxana too. Would not hesitate to return.”
EKEmma KillickGoogle · Dec 2025 “Just finished having a new implant. Dr Aryan and his team were excellent. The reception team are also first class. As a senior citizen I was a little anxious about the procedure but need not have worried. I have no hesitation in recommending this dental clinic.”
BHBarry HayesGoogle · Nov 2025 “I came across this practice in a Google search and thought I'd book a consultation. I'm so glad that I did. From the initial advice to the level of care and excellent communication, everything has been great. The reception staff, nurses and dentist have all provided a top service. My Invisalign journey was smooth and I'm absolutely delighted with the finished results. Would 100% recommend.”

JJJo-JoGoogle · Nov 2025 “I had a root canal treatment with Dr Aryan and he was fantastic. He took the time to explain everything and gave me all the options before going ahead. He carried out the treatment excellently and was clearly very knowledgeable. I felt reassured all the way through. All of the staff were very warm and friendly. Thank you for making the experience as comfortable as possible.”

Questions, answered.
A few of the things patients ask us most about gum disease. Still not sure about something? Just call or request a callback and we'll happily talk it through.
How do I know if I have gum disease?
Red, swollen gums that bleed when you brush or floss are usually the earliest sign, so it's worth getting checked as soon as you notice this.
Is it ever too late to treat gum disease?
In advanced cases, extraction of badly affected teeth may be necessary, but we'll always aim to save and stabilise as much of your natural smile as possible first.
How much does gum disease treatment cost?
Treatment starts from £65, depending on how advanced things are and how many appointments you need.
Can gum disease come back after treatment?
It can, particularly without consistent home care, which is why we agree an ongoing maintenance plan with you, including regular hygienist visits.
