In the field of periodontology
as well as providing the more routine treatments such as open and closed root
debridement, John has over ten years experience of subgingival antibiotics and
other antimicrobials. He has surgically regenerated bone around numerous
periodontally involved teeth using several guided tissue regeneration (GTR)
techniques, enamel matrix protein (Emdogain), carried out free gingival grafts
and repositioned flap procedures to create stable, healthy, keratinised
periodontal tissues and reduced pocket depths.
John has accepted referrals
from dentists in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire
for implantology, periodontology and advanced restorative procedures for the
last five years and welcomes patients either by self referral or referred from
their own dentist.
