What Happens During Periodontal Therapy?
Periodontal treatment begins with a careful evaluation of your gum health. Depending on your condition, your care plan may include deep cleaning, infection management, ongoing monitoring, or additional periodontal procedures to help protect your teeth and supporting tissues.
- Assessment and Diagnosis: We examine your gums and measure pocket depths to determine the extent of gum disease.
- Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing): Plaque and tartar are removed below the gumline, and root surfaces are smoothed to support healing.
- Infection Control: Treatment helps reduce bacteria and inflammation to improve gum health.
- Monitoring and Maintenance: Ongoing care and hygiene visits help maintain results and prevent recurrence.
- Supportive Care: We provide guidance to help you care for your gums at home between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a periodontist, and what do they treat?
A periodontist is a dentist with advanced training in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. At Croydon Dental, Dr. Vera Telyakova provides periodontal care with clinical interests in gum disease treatment, soft tissue grafting, regenerative procedures, and dental implant surgery. Her approach focuses on protecting oral health through personalized treatment planning.
When should I see a periodontist?
You may benefit from seeing a periodontist if you experience persistent bleeding gums, gum recession, loose teeth, ongoing bad breath, or signs of advanced gum disease. Periodontal care may also be recommended when you need specialized procedures such as gum grafting or dental implant surgery. At Croydon Dental, our team can assess your concerns and help determine the appropriate next steps.
Is periodontal therapy painful?
Periodontal therapy is planned with your comfort in mind. Depending on the procedure, local anesthesia may be used to numb the treatment area and minimize discomfort. Some tenderness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur afterward, particularly following surgical treatment. Our team will explain what to expect, discuss appropriate pain management, and provide aftercare instructions to support your recovery.
How long does periodontal treatment take?
The length of periodontal treatment depends on the severity of your gum condition and the procedures recommended. Non-surgical treatments, such as scaling and root planing, may require one or more appointments, while surgical procedures can involve additional visits and healing time. Dr. Vera Telyakova will assess your oral health and discuss a personalized treatment plan, including the expected timeline and follow-up care.
Do I need a referral to see a periodontist?
Patients may be referred to a periodontist by their general dentist when specialized gum treatment or periodontal surgery is recommended. Dr. Vera Telyakova works closely with referring dentists to develop personalized treatment plans based on each patient's needs. If you are interested in periodontal care at Croydon Dental, contact our team to discuss the consultation process and whether a referral is required.
