Periodontal Therapy at 17 Dental with Deepak Simkhada

At 17 Dental, we are committed to maintaining your oral health at every level. If you’re experiencing gum disease or any issues related to your gums, our periodontal therapy, led by Deepak Simkhada, offers a comprehensive solution to restore the health of your gums and prevent further complications.

What is Periodontal Therapy?

Periodontal therapy involves the treatment of gum disease (periodontitis) and other conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums and bone. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone deterioration, and other serious health complications. At 17 Dental, we provide both non-surgical and surgical therapies tailored to each patient’s specific needs.

Meet Deepak Simkhada

Deepak Simkhada brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to 17 Dental. He holds a BSc in Oral Health from the University of Dundee and an MSc in Advanced Periodontal Practice from the University of Essex. With over 15 years of experience working in both NHS and private practices, Deepak has developed a special interest in non-surgical periodontal treatments, which are highly effective for managing gum disease in primary care settings. Deepak is also an educator, frequently lecturing internationally on periodontal care and writing for renowned dental journals.

Signs You May Need Periodontal Therapy

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Gum recession or teeth appearing longer
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Loose teeth or shifting of your bite
  • Pus between the gums and teeth

Our Approach to Periodontal Therapy

Deepak Simkhada leads our periodontal care with a personalized, patient-centered approach. Some of the treatments we offer include:

  • Scaling and Root Planing: This deep-cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar buildup from beneath the gumline, smoothing the tooth roots to promote healing.
  • Gum Grafting: If gum recession has occurred, gum grafting helps restore the health and appearance of your gums.
  • Pocket Reduction Surgery: For more advanced cases, surgery may be needed to reduce the depth of gum pockets, making them easier to clean and reducing the risk of further infection.
  • Maintenance Therapy: Regular periodontal maintenance is essential to keep gum disease under control and prevent its recurrence.

Why Choose Deepak Simkhada for Your Periodontal Care?

With years of experience in treating complex periodontal conditions, Deepak Simkhada brings both expertise and a compassionate touch to every treatment. His focus is on not only treating gum disease but also helping patients maintain long-term oral health through education, prevention, and personalized care plans.

At 17 Dental, we use advanced technology to ensure that your periodontal therapy is as effective and comfortable as possible. We believe in preserving your natural teeth and gums whenever possible, and our team is here to support you every step of the way.
