Treating gum disease as a nervous patient
Dental anxiety is more common than you might think, and many of our patients come to us after months or years of not seeing a dentist due to worries or fears. The type of treatments we offer at our dentist in Wanstead are ideal for nervous patients because they typically are much less invasive, offer less discomfort, and have faster recovery times.
Over the years, we’ve worked hard to offer patients a relaxing experience when they come to us. From the non-clinical environment that we’ve built through to our warm and welcoming approach, when you come to us, we want you to leave your worries at the door.
If you’ve been delaying a trip to the dentist because you’re worried, we encourage you to speak with us. If left, gum disease can progress and lead to much more serious issues, but together, we’re confident we can help relieve your worries and treat your symptoms comfortably.
We appreciate how much a trip to the dentist can set you back, and we want to make accessing the necessary treatment you need as easy as possible. That’s why we offer some of the most competitive prices for the type of treatments we offer, as well as finance options to those who may need extra help.
So, if you’re looking for a dentist in Wanstead to take care of your teeth and gums, or one who can perform restorative treatments – such as dental implants to replace missing teeth lost due to gum disease – why not get in touch with us?
We’re an award-winning Wanstead dental practice with years of experience in treating gum disease, and we’re confident that together, we can help you get your dental health back on the right track and achieve your dream smile in no time!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the first signs of gum disease?
Gum disease looks different for everyone – especially in its earliest stages. Some patients may not even know they’re suffering until they go to the dentist for their routine check-up.
Before periodontal (gum) disease takes its toll, your dentist will most likely diagnose you with gingivitis.
Most people get gingivitis at some point in their lives, and it is fully reversible – but the mild symptoms make it easy to ignore, which will only cause it to develop into something more sinister further down the line.
Some tell-tale warning signs of gingivitis include:
- Swollen or puffy gums
- Dark or dusky red gums
- Bleeding when brushing and flossing
- Bad breath
- Receding gums
- Tender gums
If you’re suffering from any of the above symptoms, seek dental treatment as soon as possible. The sooner you receive the appropriate care, the better your chances are of reversing the damage.

Can I get dental implants if I’ve got gum disease?
If you’re currently suffering from gum disease, you, unfortunately, won’t be able to get dental implants.
However, this isn’t to say that you can’t ever get them.
For dental implant treatments (or alternative cosmetic dentistry treatments, like dental bonding or veneers) to go ahead, your gums need to be healthy, and you will need to have your gum disease treated before you become a viable candidate for implants.
Seeking treatment sooner rather than later is extremely important because, as gum disease advances, it causes gum recession and bone loss, which can mean that the chances of being able to get dental implants are reduced.
Not sure if dental implants are right for you? Looking to treat the early signs of gum disease?
Consider us your go-to dentist in Wanstead for periodontal care.
To find out more about the dental implant procedure, or to book a consultation with us, give our reception team a call or email us at [email protected] and we’ll be in touch to arrange your appointment!
How do you treat gum disease?
Here at The Al-FaPerio Clinic, we offer a variety of both traditional and more modern gum disease treatment methods – including our revolutionary laser gum treatment.
This is a non-invasive procedure in which we use the innovative, state-of-the-art Waterlase technology to target specific areas with a build-up of plaque to clean the tooth, root and deep pockets thoroughly.
We also offer other non-surgical options as well as surgical treatments – but we find that laser treatment is perfect for particularly nervous patients, thanks to it being much less invasive and mostly pain-free.
For more information about how our laser gum treatment works or to find out more about our alternative gum disease treatments, you’re welcome to contact us.
We’re always available and more than happy to help!
