How to book ?
When should I book a gum assessment?
- Your gums often bleed when you brush or floss.
- Your gums are swollen or tender.
- An adult tooth feels loose, or you’ve noticed new gaps between teeth.
- Your gums are receding, a tooth looks longer, or an exposed root feels sensitive.
- You have pigmentation on your gums.
- Your dentist has found deep gum pockets or bone loss and recommended a specialist assessment.
Start with a dental check-up with Dr. Chloe
Dr. Chloe will check your teeth and gums to see whether your symptoms are related to a gum condition or another dental issue.
She’ll explain what she finds and discuss the next step.
If you need specialist gum care, reception will help arrange a separate appointment with Dr. Tan Sze Jun (Periodontist).
Already seen a dentist and have a referral?
If you’ve already been assessed by a general dentist at another clinic and have both of the following, contact reception to arrange an appointment directly with Dr. Tan Sze Jun (Periodontist) :
- A referral letter from your general dentist
- Latest dental X-rays or a CBCT scan
When you message us, let reception know you have both so we can guide you on how to provide them and confirm the next available specialist session.

Periodontal Treatment Options
- Deep scaling and root surface debridement. This treatment removes plaque and hardened deposits below the gumline when indicated. Dr. June will explain which areas need treatment and how many visits may be needed.
- Gum recession assessment and grafting. Dr. June checks the exposed roots and surrounding gum tissue. In suitable cases, a gum graft can thicken thin gum tissue or help cover part of an exposed root.
- Treatment for advanced gum disease. If deep pockets remain around your teeth after deep scaling, Dr. June may recommend periodontal surgery to reach areas that are difficult to clean. Follow-up visits allow her to review healing and plan ongoing gum maintenance.
- Gingival flap repositioning surgery. Dr. June moves the existing gum tissue to a new position. For selected areas of gum recession, she may move the gum towards the exposed root and combine the procedure with a gum graft.
- Crown lengthening. Dr. June reshapes the gum and, where needed, the bone around a tooth to expose more of its natural surface. This may make room for a crown or filling, or improve the gumline when excess gum tissue makes teeth look short.
- Osteotomy and bone reshaping. In selected periodontal procedures, Dr. June may make a planned cut in the bone or reshape the bone around a tooth. This can be part of crown lengthening or surgery to reduce deep gum pockets.
- Gingival depigmentation (laser gum lightening). Naturally darker areas of the gums can be a normal variation in colour. If you’d like to lighten them, Dr. June can assess whether laser treatment is suitable. Some pigmentation can return over time.
- Dental implant assessment and placement. A dental implant acts as an artificial root that supports a replacement tooth. Dr. June assesses your gum health and the bone at the implant site, explains whether any gum treatment is needed first, and can place the implant if it’s suitable for you.
