Gum disease treatment
Bleeding stops, swelling settles, and pocket depths measured on the chart reduce. The chart is the result here, more than the photograph.
About this treatmentPatient results
What results actually look like
Dental results are easy to exaggerate with a camera angle. This page sets out what each treatment can realistically achieve, and how we record it, so you can judge our work rather than our photography.
How we document results
Measurements first, photographs second
For gum treatment, the honest record of a result is the periodontal chart: pocket depths at six points around every tooth, taken before treatment and again after healing. Numbers cannot be flattered by lighting. For restorative and orthodontic work, photographs taken under consistent conditions do the job, and we take them at the same angle before and after.
Every patient is shown their own record at review. Nothing is published without written consent, and consent can be withdrawn at any time.
By treatment
What to expect from each treatment
Case galleries are being added as consented photographs are collected. In the meantime, here is what a good outcome looks like for each.
Case photographs coming soon
Deep cleaning and root planing
Calculus removed from below the gumline, gums firm up and change colour from red to pale pink over six to eight weeks.
About this treatmentCase photographs coming soon
Gum recession and grafting
Root coverage where the site is suitable, a more even gumline, and a clear reduction in cold sensitivity.
About this treatmentCase photographs coming soon
Dental implants
A missing tooth replaced with a crown that matches the neighbouring teeth in shade and shape, stable on its own foundation.
About this treatmentCase photographs coming soon
Zirconia crowns and bridges
A damaged or heavily filled tooth restored to a natural contour, with no dark metal line at the gumline.

Braces and aligners
Crowding resolved, the bite corrected, and teeth held in the new position by a retainer afterwards.
About this treatmentBeing straight with you
What dentistry cannot promise
Any clinic that guarantees an outcome is telling you something it cannot know. Here is where the honest limits sit.
Lost bone does not grow back
Gum disease treatment stops the damage and stabilises the teeth. It does not rebuild the bone that has already gone, except in specific grafted sites.
Not every recession can be covered
Root coverage depends on the tissue and bone around the site. We will tell you before treatment which of your sites are realistic.
Results depend on you too
Home cleaning, smoking, diabetes control and keeping maintenance visits affect the outcome as much as the treatment itself.
Teeth move after braces
Without a retainer, teeth drift back. Retention is part of orthodontic treatment, not an optional extra.
Shade matching has limits
A single crown next to natural teeth is matched as closely as materials allow. Perfect invisibility is not always achievable.
Healing varies
Two patients with identical treatment can heal at different speeds. Timelines we give are typical, not guaranteed.
Patient privacy
Consent, every time
Clinical photographs are part of the record for many treatments. They are never published, shared or used in marketing without written consent for that specific use. Patients can decline publication and still receive exactly the same treatment, and anyone who has consented can withdraw it later.
Common questions
Questions about results
How soon will I see a difference after gum treatment?
Bleeding usually reduces within one to two weeks of a thorough clean. Gum colour and firmness change over several weeks, and pocket depths are formally re-measured at six to eight weeks, which is when the result is confirmed.
Can you show me cases like mine?
Ask at your consultation. Where we hold consented photographs of comparable cases, we will show them to you in the clinic, along with the charting that goes with them.
Will my before and after photos be published?
Only if you sign a consent form for that specific use. Declining changes nothing about your treatment, and consent can be withdrawn afterwards.
How long do results last?
Gum treatment holds as long as the maintenance and home care hold. Crowns, implants and orthodontic results have their own expected lifespans, which we explain per treatment before you commit.
