Led by Specialist Periodontist Dr Ruchi Agarwal, Perio Health Specialists provides focused care for the health of the gums, jawbone and supporting structures around the teeth, as well as advanced dental implant treatment.

The new Frankston clinic will be located at 8 Overton Road, Frankston VIC 3199, providing a convenient location for patients from Frankston, Frankston South, Seaford, Langwarrin, Mornington, Mount Eliza, Mount Martha, Carrum and surrounding areas.

Why Choose a Specialist Periodontist?

Your gums play an important role in keeping your natural teeth healthy and providing a stable foundation for dental implants.

Periodontal conditions can develop gradually, and early signs such as bleeding gums, gum recession, persistent bad breath, swollen gums or loose teeth can sometimes be overlooked. Periodontists specialise in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.

At Perio Health Specialists, treatment is tailored to each patient's individual needs, with an emphasis on clear communication, evidence based treatment and long term periodontal health.

Specialist Gum Disease Treatment in Frankston

Gum disease can range from gingivitis, which involves inflammation of the gums, to periodontitis, which can affect the bone and tissues supporting the teeth.

Common signs that you may benefit from a periodontal assessment include:

Bleeding when brushing or flossing
Red, swollen or tender gums
Receding gums
Persistent bad breath
Loose or shifting teeth
Deep spaces or pockets around the teeth
Changes in the way your teeth fit together

Early assessment can help identify periodontal problems and determine appropriate treatment options.

Gum Recession and Gum Grafting

Gum recession can cause the teeth to appear longer and may expose sensitive tooth roots. Depending on the cause and severity, specialist periodontal treatment may include soft tissue grafting or other approaches to protect the affected area.

Dr Ruchi Agarwal has a particular interest in soft tissue grafting and procedures designed to address gingival recession. Her clinical expertise also includes periodontal regeneration, bone grafting and surgical periodontal therapy.

Specialist Dental Implant Care

Dental implants require a healthy foundation of gum and bone.

For patients considering dental implants, periodontal assessment can help determine the health of the supporting tissues and whether additional treatment may be required before or around implant placement.

Perio Health Specialists provides specialist implant related procedures including dental implant placement surgery, bone grafting, sinus lift surgery and management of peri implant diseases.

Personalised Periodontal Care in Frankston

At Perio Health Specialists, we understand that every patient is different.

An initial consultation involves reviewing your dental and medical history, assessing your gums and supporting structures, periodontal measurements and diagnostic imaging where required.

Your treatment options, expected outcomes, costs and treatment timelines can then be discussed so that you have a clear understanding of your care plan.

No Referral Required

If you have been referred by your dentist, our specialist team can work alongside your existing dental care provider.

However, a referral is not mandatory. If you are concerned about your gum health, experiencing gum recession or considering dental implants, you can contact Perio Health Specialists directly to arrange an appointment.

Coming Soon to Frankston

The opening of our new Frankston clinic will make specialist periodontal care more accessible to patients across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

Whether you are concerned about gum disease, gum recession, loose teeth or the health of your gums before dental implants, specialist periodontal assessment can help you understand your condition and treatment options.
