Specialising gum disease dentists
Gum disease is not reversible past a certain stage.
Do you have:
- Bleeding gums when prodded, brushing or eating?
- Throbbing gums for no reason?
- Gums that have begun to recede or black triangles forming between teeth?
- Wobbly, loose teeth? Smelly breath or gums?
- Plaque and tartar build-up?
If you are experiencing any of the above, please contact us ASAP. It could save your oral health (aka teeth).

Please listen to our warning - you might not get another chance
We’ve seen enough cases of gum disease to understand the true reality. Once you progress through the gingivitis stage, there’s no going back – we can only alleviate your symptoms, prevent gum disease from spreading further and help you retain your teeth.
Gum disease will eventually cause your gums and jawbone to shrink, which might make you an unlikely candidate for advanced missing teeth procedures in the future, like dental implants.
ExcellentBased on 123 reviewsEm Barr17/06/2024I was nervous about starting this journey but from my first appointment with Chelsea I knew I had made the right decision. David was so knowledgeable, professional and kind in his approach, keeping me Informed at every step and Claire put me at ease anytime she could see I was a little anxious. I now have the most beautiful natural smile I have always wanted and can’t recommend The Perfect Smile studio enough.

I came to see Dr Biju Krishnan regarding my very complex orthodontic case. This is someone who understands the teeth, jaws, face and body as a whole. After multiple ortho treatments elsewhere, and various appointments with senior consultants I can speak from experience when I say, that who you pick as you're orthodontist for your self or your child is the most important choice health wise you can make. This is someone you have to see before committing to treatment anywhere else. Thank you to Dr Biju and Clare his dental nurse for your compassion and time you took with me to go over my case. I really appreciate it. Lovely reception staff excellent all round practice impressive.Jamie Herbert24/05/2024Following a successful bone graft, prep for implant started, even though being apprehensive about the whole thing, Sagar and the perfect smile team really put me at ease and explained the whole procedure, installing confidence knowing I’m in the greatest of hands ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Dr. Dee Alwis14/05/2024It is great to have Dr Rahul Dhoshi back at the Practice and guiding us with our treatment.Stuart Boardman10/04/2024Having now completed my treatment, I would like to thank David and his team for my new smile, I am delighted The levels of skill and care I received were of the highest standard and I would have no hesitation recommending this A Team to anyone. Thanks again Guys.Jo Haywood-Gordon07/03/2024As a nervous dental patient who has spent many years avoiding attending a dental practice my experience at Perfect Smile Hertford has been nothing but great so far, so thank you, and to Jenny Cader for the referral. All of the staff have been friendly, attentive and professional. They've listened and advised accordingly, and haven't tried to upsell me, merely to advise based on my circumstances and requirements. I'm back in for some minor remedial work and whitening, and for the first time ever, I don't feel afraid of the dentist!
