When to consider Gum Treatment
You may benefit from gum treatment in Chembur if you notice:
- Gums bleed when brushing, flossing or eating
- Bad breath that doesn't go away
- Red, swollen or tender gums
- Gums pulling away from teeth
- Teeth looking longer as gums recede
- Loose teeth or shifting bite
Benefits of Gum Treatment at Urban Smiles
- Stops gum disease before it causes tooth loss (the #1 cause of adult tooth loss)
- Laser therapy kills bacteria without cutting — less pain, faster healing
- Significantly reduces halitosis (bad breath)
- Lowers systemic inflammation — linked to heart disease and diabetes control
- Regenerates some lost gum tissue in early cases
- Saves loose teeth from extraction in most stage 1–2 cases
How the procedure works
-
Gum health assessment
We measure pocket depths around every tooth, check bleeding index and take digital X-rays.
-
Scaling
Ultrasonic removal of tartar and plaque above the gum line. Painless.
-
Root planing
Deep cleaning below the gum line to smooth root surfaces. Done under local anaesthesia.
-
Laser decontamination
Diode laser kills bacteria inside gum pockets without cutting. Accelerates healing.
-
Antibiotic delivery
Localised slow-release antibiotic gel in deep pockets if needed.
-
Maintenance visits
Every 3–6 months — gum disease is chronic, not cured, but controlled.
Who is eligible?
- Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath (halitosis)
- Gum recession or "long teeth" appearance
- Loose teeth in adults
- Diabetic patients (gum disease worsens blood sugar control)
Aftercare & recovery
- Warm-salt rinses 3x/day for 5 days
- Soft diet for 48 hrs
- No smoking — tobacco dramatically worsens gum disease
- Electric soft-bristle brushing 2x/day
- Floss or water-floss daily
- Follow-up scaling every 3–6 months (not 6–12 like healthy gums)
Why choose Urban Smiles for Gum Treatment in Chembur
We use diode laser therapy alongside conventional scaling — significantly less post-op pain and faster healing than scaling alone. Every gum-treatment patient gets a written maintenance plan with photos so you see the improvement.
Gum Treatment — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything patients in Chembur and Mumbai ask before their gum treatment appointment.
No. Healthy gums don't bleed. Bleeding means inflammation (gingivitis) or deeper gum disease (periodontitis). Ignoring it leads to bone loss and tooth loss.
Routine scaling (cleaning): ₹1,500. Deep cleaning with root planing: ₹3,500 per quadrant. Laser gum therapy: ₹5,000 per session. Gum surgery (severe cases): ₹8,000–₹15,000.
Scaling: no. Deep cleaning (root planing): done under local anaesthesia — no pain during, mild soreness for 2–3 days. Laser therapy: less painful than root planing alone.
Gingivitis (stage 1): yes, reversed completely with scaling + hygiene. Periodontitis (stage 2+): controlled, not cured. Requires 3-monthly maintenance cleanings.
Not until the gums are healthy. We treat gum disease first, then whiten. Whitening on inflamed gums causes severe sensitivity and can worsen recession.
Yes — strong bidirectional link. Gum inflammation worsens blood-sugar control and is associated with cardiovascular disease. Treating gum disease helps both.
Only in severe cases (deep pockets >6 mm, advanced bone loss). 80% of our patients are treated with scaling + laser therapy alone.
Every 3–4 months — not the usual 6 months. Gum disease is a recurring condition that needs tighter monitoring.
