About gum treatment

Gum treatment covers the procedures used to treat gum (periodontal) disease - from a deep clean that removes plaque and tartar below the gum line (scaling and root planing) through to more advanced periodontal care. Treating gum disease early helps stop bleeding gums and bad breath and, if left untreated, tooth loss.

What moves the price
Tooth & treatment typeBack teeth are more involved than front teeth - molars have several canals and bigger restorations, so they cost more.
ComplexitySevere decay or infection, awkward access and re-treatments take more time and skill, which pushes the price up.
Clinic & locationPrivate fees run higher in London and other big cities, and a specialist charges more than a general dentist.
What’s includedCrowns, X-rays or scans, sedation and follow-up visits are often quoted separately - always check the full fee.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a gum treatment cost in the UK?
Across the 67 clinics we track in the UK, a gum treatment is advertised at £100–£850; the midpoint is £250. What you actually pay comes down to the clinic you pick and how complex your case turns out to be.
Why do prices vary so much?
Four things move the price of a gum treatment: the materials, who is doing it, how complex your case is, and the postcode. In the UK that currently spans £100 to £850 for the same headline treatment - which is why a “from” price is a starting point, never a promise.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No - they are the advertised private fees we collected from each clinic, and clinics change them. Use them to shortlist, then confirm the exact cost with the clinic before you book.

Prices shown are indicative of advertised private fees and may change. They are a guide only - your individual treatment may differ. Always confirm the exact cost directly with the clinic before booking.
