Our team is also experienced in performing surgical procedures designed to reshape the gums to address gum recession. This common condition occurs even in the early stages of gum disease, exposing vulnerable tooth structures to decay. Gum grafts can significantly enhance the appearance of your teeth and protect them from damage.
Suppose you are experiencing symptoms such as gum inflammation, bleeding, or changes in the positioning of your teeth or the colour of your gums. In that case, we recommend booking a dental examination or routine hygienist appointment.
Our gum health trained professional, Dr Robin Ratcliffe, has over 15 years of experience in treating gum disease.
“I take pride in providing a professional and approachable approach to reassure and inform my patients about their gum conditions and the available treatment options. I offer a comprehensive range of gum care services, from simple diagnosis to advanced treatments for bone and gum regeneration. I provide comprehensive planning for complex cases to ensure the best possible outcome.
I also specialise in aesthetic gingival re-contouring and gum grafting (mucogingival surgery) for natural teeth and implants. This allows me to enhance the appearance and health of gums surrounding dental implants and natural teeth.”

At Moltons Dental, we recommend having a dental check-up every six months. Regular visits help us detect any potential issues early, such as tooth decay, gum disease, or other oral health concerns, before they become more serious. However, depending on your individual needs—such as a history of dental problems, gum disease, or ongoing treatments—we may suggest more frequent visits.
Your dentist will work with you to create a personalised check-up schedule that best supports your long-term oral health.
