Periodontal (gum) disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults — but caught and treated properly, most teeth can be saved. We treat every stage from gingivitis to advanced periodontitis.

Gum disease starts silently — bleeding gums when brushing, mild tenderness, or a gum that looks slightly red. Left untreated, the infection destroys the bone supporting the teeth and eventually leads to tooth loss.
At Aliva Aesthetics, we treat periodontal disease at every stage — from non-surgical deep cleaning for early disease to flap surgery for advanced cases. Our goal in every case is to stop the disease and save as many teeth as possible.
Periodontal disease has well-understood causes — addressing them is essential for treatment to work.
Calcified plaque (tartar) below the gumline harbours bacteria that destroy bone.
Smokers have dramatically higher rates of gum disease and poorer treatment response.
Some people are genetically more susceptible to aggressive periodontal disease.
Poorly controlled diabetes strongly correlates with more severe gum disease.
Inadequate brushing and flossing allows plaque to accumulate and harden.
Stress reduces immune response and increases inflammatory markers linked to periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease is classified in stages — treatment is matched precisely to the stage.

Reversible inflammation of the gum only — treated with professional cleaning and improved home care.

Bone loss beginning — treated with scaling and root planing (deep cleaning).

Significant bone loss and pocketing — deep cleaning and close monitoring.

Deep pockets, major bone loss — surgical treatment (flap surgery) to access and clean.

Gum is reflected to allow direct access to deep deposits and bone defects.

Ongoing 3-monthly cleaning and monitoring to prevent disease recurrence.
Our periodontal philosophy: accurate staging, non-surgical treatment first, surgical only where necessary, and lifelong maintenance to protect what's been saved.
Your dental history and concerns — heard carefully before any recommendation.
Thorough examination with X-rays and digital imaging where needed.

Deep cleaning below the gumline to remove tartar and smooth root surfaces — the cornerstone of periodontal treatment.

Surgical access to deep pockets and bone defects when non-surgical hasn't been sufficient.

Dr. Varun Reddy approaches every periodontal case with a treatment goal of saving teeth. With 12+ years of clinical experience and a focus on evidence-based periodontal protocols, he manages early to advanced cases — non-surgically and surgically.
Consultations are clear and honest. We explain the disease stage, what treatment involves, and what the prognosis of each tooth is — so you can make an informed decision about your care.
“Moderate periodontitis with bone loss that had been progressing undetected for years was comprehensively treated at Aliva. Deep cleaning, antibiotics, and a strict maintenance schedule have stabilised my gum health completely over 6 months.”
“Bleeding gums and bad breath that I had normalised for years turned out to be advanced gum disease. Aliva's periodontal treatment reversed the infection, stopped the bleeding entirely, and the gum health maintenance programme has kept it resolved.”
“Gum recession exposing my tooth roots was treated at Aliva with a combination of deep scaling and gum grafting. The root coverage achieved is excellent and my sensitivity has reduced dramatically. Precise and effective periodontology.”
“Diabetic patient with severe gum disease — Aliva coordinated with my physician and designed a periodontal protocol that took my systemic health into account at every step. My gum health and blood sugar control both improved with treatment.”
“Loose teeth from bone loss that I feared would need extraction were stabilised at Aliva with a structured periodontal programme. Three teeth I thought I would lose are now firm and healthy after 4 months of treatment.”
“Periodontal maintenance every 3 months at Aliva has kept my gum disease completely under control for 2 years since active treatment ended. The monitoring is thorough and any early signs are addressed immediately. Excellent ongoing care.”
Common questions about periodontal disease and flap surgery — answered honestly.
Early gum disease (gingivitis) is completely reversible with cleaning and improved home care. Advanced periodontitis can be stabilised but not reversed — the goal is to stop further progression and save teeth.
It's done under local anaesthesia, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Mild sensitivity and gum tenderness for a few days afterward is normal.
The gum is reflected (peeled back) to give direct access to deep tartar deposits and bone defects that scaling alone cannot reach. It's performed under local anaesthesia.
Typically 2–4 sessions depending on the extent of disease — usually one quadrant (quarter of the mouth) at a time.
With proper treatment and maintenance, most teeth can be saved. We give you an honest assessment of which teeth are salvageable.
3-monthly cleaning and monitoring appointments after active treatment. Gum disease has a strong tendency to recur — regular maintenance prevents it.
