Gingivitis

Gingivitis is a very common, mild form of gum disease characterized by inflammation (redness and swelling) of the gums. It is the first stage of gum disease, primarily caused by the build-up of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, around the base of the teeth. An important feature is that the patient suffers no bone loss and the condition is completely reversible and economic to manage.

Peri-implant mucositis

Similar to gingivitis and occurs around dental implants

Periodontitis

Periodontitis is a serious, chronic bacterial infection of the gums that destroys the soft tissue and bone supporting your teeth. It is the advanced stage of gum disease, usually developing from untreated gingivitis and remains the most common cause of tooth loss amongst adults.

Peri-Implantitis

Similar to periodontitis and may occur around dental implants and if allowed to progress will result in the loss of the bone tissue around the dental implant
