How much does gum treatment cost in Southwark?

Gum (periodontal) treatment in London typically costs between £110 and £200 for treatments such as a deep clean (root planing), with more advanced or specialist periodontal care costing more. Basic gum treatment is available on the NHS, while advanced deep cleaning and specialist care are often private. Treating bleeding, swollen or receding gums early is far easier and cheaper than dealing with the tooth loss that advanced gum disease can cause.

Gum treatment in Southwark: frequently asked questions

How many dentists in Southwark offer gum treatment?

31 of the 55 CQC-registered dental practices in Southwark name gum treatment on their own website. They are all listed on this page; we verify treatments from each practice's own site rather than guessing from directory categories.

Is gum treatment available on the NHS?

Yes. A simple scale is part of NHS Band 1 (£27.90). Deeper cleaning for gum disease is part of Band 2 (£76.60), which covers the whole course of treatment. Some people with advanced gum disease can join an NHS care pathway lasting 6 or 12 months, and most pay one Band 2 charge for it.

What are the signs of gum disease?

Gums that bleed when you brush, red or swollen gums, gums that move back from the teeth, and bad breath that does not go away. Early gum disease usually does not hurt, so many people do not know they have it.
