Dental implants
If you would like a fixed solution for one or more missing teeth, our Courtrai House Dental & Implant Clinic dentists can help restore both your smile and your quality of life with dental implants.
Periodontology
Gum disease is silent, so it’s important to get a professional to check for signs regularly. As with any disease, if caught early it is much easier treat, with better results.
Periodontium is the name given to the complex system of hard and soft structures that support your teeth in your jaw. This system is made up of the tooth socket, the gums, root cementum and the periodontal ligament. Periodontology is the study of these oral structures. Periodontists have a specialist understanding of the science of your mouth, teeth, jaw and gums as a whole, as well as a thorough knowledge of the different kinds of diseases that can manifest, their symptoms and suitable treatments.
Essentially, a periodontist is concerned with keeping your teeth in place, throughout your lifetime. At Courtrai House Dental & Implant Clinic our periodontists are trained to help prevent, diagnose and treat periodontal diseases, as well as fit dental implants.
Gum disease can be hard to spot, which is why it is important to visit your local Henley dentist for routine check ups. Your dental practitioner may refer you to a periodontist if they suspect any signs of gingivitis or periodontitis. If you have not seen a dentist for some time, and you think you may have gum disease, book an appointment to see your Courtrai House Dental & Implant Clinic dentist straight away on 01491 574153.
Gum disease is serious, affecting the whole of your mouth and ultimately the structure of your jaw. If left untreated can result in bone loss – undermining the foundations of your teeth. Bone and tissue keep your teeth in place, and lasting damage to these ultimately results in loss of teeth and unsightly gaps.
If you have lost a tooth due to gum disease, from an accident or any other reason, you may want to consider a dental implant. This is an artificial tooth root that is placed in the jaw by your periodontist in order to anchor a bridge or an artificial tooth. If you feel that you would benefit from dental implants, speak to your Portman dentist. They can help and advise on the best course of action. You must ensure that you already have a good oral hygiene routine in place, and your Courtrai House Dental & Implant Clinic dentist will examine your jaw to ascertain that there is enough bone to attach the implant to.
At Portman Dental we have some of the most highly acclaimed periodontists in the country, many of whom lecture internationally. Should you have any concerns over your gums, or think you may have symptoms of gum disease, you can relax in the knowledge that you can be treated in Henley by some of the most specialised clinicians in the field.

I would recommend them unreservedly."
What our patients say
"I had been going to an NHS dentist for many years and was finally persuaded to see a private dentist. I have never looked back. The time taken to explain procedures is very reassuring and the team make me feel at ease... Rebecca and her nurse Mandy are a delight and it is a pleasure to attend."
