Beneath Every Healthy Smile Are Healthy Gums
If you want healthy teeth, you must look after your gums and jaw. Although gum health isn’t always discussed, it has its own specialist area of dentistry: periodontics.
If you’ve ever spotted small amounts of blood on your toothpaste or had inflammation in your gums, then you’ve possibly had gingivitis. Although this is an easily treatable condition, it’s important to seek our help. Untreated gingivitis can progress to periodontitis—a much more problematic condition.
Like your teeth, the health of your gums is affected by bacteria in your mouth. At SmileHQ, a healthy smile isn’t just about caring for your teeth.

Prevention is always better than the cure. We’d rather check your gum health and treat any warning signs early. To ensure this happens, we recommend visiting us for regular dental checkups.
Often, through improved oral hygiene, we can address mild gum disease and prevent it from becoming worse. Where gingivitis has progressed, we may recommend techniques like root planing to improve your gum health.
Root planing is a deep clean for your gums. We’ll clean below the gum line and remove any plaque and tartar that’s built up around the root of your teeth.
Once you’ve had root planing, periodontal pockets will shrink, closing the gap between your teeth and gums while reducing the chances of bone loss.

The Symptoms of
Gum Disease
A few flecks of blood from brushing too hard may not seem like a big problem, and it’s easy to dismiss gum disease. But several problems may develop around your gum health. These include:
- Noticeably swollen, red gums
- Halitosis (bad breath)
- A bad taste in your mouth
- Receding gums
- Pockets appearing around your teeth
- Enlarged gums
- Loose teeth
- Jawbone deterioration
- Inflammation surrounding dental implants

Rave Reviews
The atmosphere was so peaceful. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They listened to my needs and considered my comfort every step of the way. I would definitely recommend. I felt so confident walking out after just one clean. Already have my next appointments booked in. Now going to the dentist isn’t so scary.
My experience at Smile HQ was the best!! Sasha and Charlotte were amazing from start to finish. They made me feel so comfortable and at ease, I would highly highly recommend going here! I had composite bonding and I am over the moon with my results. They really listen to what you are after and if anything exceeds all expectations. I’m very happy!
Couldn’t be happier with the care and treatment I’ve received at Smile HQ. All the staff are extremely welcoming and helpful, excellent customer service! I couldn’t be happier with my new smile thanks to Dr Pola and his team! Felt so comfortable and at ease with pola. He was very professional and did an amazing job!
What an amazing experience I had from start to finish. The facilities were first of all immaculate and the staff were so professional and friendly. I am over the moon with my final result (8 composite veneers) and I couldn’t be happier with the work completed by Dr Pola Reza. A big thank you to the dental assistant Claire, and the Front of House staff Hannah & Holly for making my experience so amazing. Couldn’t recommend them more!
Hygiene appointment – both the hygienist and nurse were very friendly and informative, they made the appointment feel very easy and eased my nerves immediately. Very professional and not only do my teeth feel great after but I have some useful tips to help me maintain a great clean. Thank you again ladies, 10/10 highly recommend!! :)
I have visited SmileHQ for a consultation only, so cannot comment on actual treatment received at this point. However, from my initial enquiry through to my consultation, I have been extremely impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of all of the staff I have so far encountered. There has been no pressure to proceed with treatment and the refundable deposit for the consultation should you decide not to go ahead is commendable and shows an element of the ethos at this practice. I feel very confident in their ability and expertise in this field to eventually make me smile again and would highly recommend anyone taking the first steps on their own personal journey with SmileHQ.
With the sorry state of my teeth, being embarrassed and somewhat scared, the staff at Smile HQ have gone above and beyond themselves in making me always feel at ease. Talking me through all the different stages that they are doing. I really couldn’t ask for better people. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anybody. You will not go wrong choosing Smile HQ.
This is a wonderful practice. I was seen at short notice because I was in pain and could not get an appointment with my regular dentist and it was well worth the one hour journey to get there. Dr Sasha, Nurse Stephie and Holly and Claire on reception could not have been more welcoming and kind. I had x Ray and antibiotics and everything was unhurried and explained in detail. Thank you all so much.
