Focus on you as an individual and achieve optimal treatment outcomes through professional excellence:

• Offer an individualised approach, based on thorough relevant history and detailed assessment of your situation at the beginning, as well as throughout your treatment and follow-up.
• Discuss all aspects of treatment with you, i.e. aetiology, diagnosis, treatment options, costs and outcomes, aiming to improve your knowledge and understanding of the condition, build appropriate rapport and achieve behaviour modification in terms of optimal plaque control, a crucial factor in resolution of periodontal inflammation.
• Aim to provide pain-free, gentle and considerate treatment, show empathy and understanding of your individual circumstances.
• Promote the healing potential of the tissues by appropriate non-surgical therapy in the majority of cases, follow surgical techniques only where absolutely indicated and justified.
• Apply evidence-based techniques to enhance outcomes.
• Set up individualised supportive periodontal therapy regimes to ensure stability, also analyse progress at appropriate intervals and adjust regimes as indicated to maintain favourable outcomes.
• Follow up your progress appropriately and analyse short and long term outcomes of periodontal therapy for the benefit of your care.
