Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease (gum disease), often caused by plaque buildup, is a common condition that can lead to gum infections and inflammation. The bacteria present in plaque produce toxins that irritate the gums, causing them to become inflamed, sore, and prone to bleeding. Other factors, such as diabetes, tobacco use, and hormonal fluctuations in women due to pregnancy, puberty or menopause can also contribute to gum disease and infections.


At Hornsby Periodontics, we offer non-surgical and surgical therapy, including lasers, for treating gum disease. Our non-surgical procedures, such as scaling (debridement)and root planing, are designed to address the underlying causes of gum disease. Debridement involves thoroughly removing plaque and tartar buildup from the root surfaces, which helps minimise the source of infection. Root planing aims to smooth tooth roots, promoting gum tissue reattachment and facilitating healing.

Dental Implants

If you have experienced tooth loss, our experienced team can help restore your smile with dental implants. Implants are a highly successful and durable tooth replacement option. By surgically placing an implant in the jawbone, we create a stable foundation for an artificial tooth that closely resembles a natural tooth in function and appearance. In cases of insufficient bone structure, we can perform bone grafting procedures to regenerate bone and reconstruct the alveolar ridge, providing a suitable base for implant placement.

Periodontal Plastic Surgery

At Hornsby Periodontics, we offer periodontal plastic surgery to address aesthetic and functional concerns associated with gum recession and tooth exposure.


Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue recedes, exposing the tooth roots. This condition can lead to tooth sensitivity, an unbalanced gum line, and an increased risk of further gum problems. Our periodontal plastic surgery techniques aim to correct gum recession, enhance the appearance of the gum line, and improve overall oral health.


Crown lengthening is a procedure we perform to expose more of the tooth structure. It is commonly used in cases where additional tooth structure is needed for therapeutic purposes, such as placing restorations, dental crowns or veneers.


Our highly skilled periodontal specialist will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment options to address your needs. We are committed to providing you with exceptional care and helping you achieve optimal periodontal health.
