At Portland Street Dental Care, we provide effective and gentle gum treatment in Southampton to help you maintain healthy gums and protect your teeth long-term. Gum health is the foundation of a confident smile, and early care can prevent more serious problems later.
If you’ve noticed bleeding when brushing, swollen gums, or persistent bad breath, these may be early signs that you need professional gum care. Our experienced team offers tailored treatments to restore your gum health and keep your smile stable.
We welcome patients from across Southampton and surrounding areas, providing trusted, local gum care in a comfortable setting.
It’s important to act early. You may benefit from professional gum care if you notice:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, our team can assess your condition and recommend the most suitable treatment.
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed, while more advanced conditions (periodontitis) require deeper treatment to prevent long-term damage.
We provide a full range of gum care treatments designed to suit your needs and the severity of your condition.
A professional clean removes plaque and hardened build-up that cannot be removed at home. A scale and polish is usually the first step to improve your gum health.
After your initial treatment, we provide clear advice and regular reviews to help you maintain healthy gums and prevent the problem from returning. Routine visits to our dental hygiene team can make a significant difference.
For more advanced periodontitis, we carry out deep cleaning below the gum line. This removes bacteria from the roots and helps the gums heal and reattach to the teeth.
Your appointment begins with a detailed assessment of your gums, including measuring gum pockets and checking for signs of infection. Based on your condition, we recommend the most suitable treatment plan.
Most treatments are comfortable and carried out with care. For deeper cleaning, we may use local anaesthetic to ensure you remain relaxed throughout the procedure.
After treatment, you will receive clear aftercare advice to support healing and maintain long-term gum health.
Healthy gums support your teeth and protect them from infection. Ignoring gum problems can lead to discomfort, costly treatments, and long-term damage.

EXCELLENT Based on 82 reviews Posted on Anita Hair2026-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had an excellent experience with Costin and Pam at Portland Street Dentist. I decided to get braces just before turning 30, and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My teeth are now so straight, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I was quite nervous at the start and told Costin that I really don’t like dentists or pain, but every single appointment was handled with such care and gentleness. They always made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the whole process. I would absolutely recommend Portland Street Dentist to anyone considering braces especially if you’re feeling a little anxious like I was! I have also had other dental treatment here, and has been great service every time.Posted on Lewis Ball2026-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I honestly can’t recommend this dentist highly enough! I had Spark orthodontic treatment and the results are absolutely fantastic. My face aches from smiling so much! 😁 Pam and Costin have been incredibly welcoming from the start and the level of care they provide is exceptional. They made every appointment comfortable, reassuring, and kept me informed throughout. I now wouldn’t want to go anywhere else! Thank you both again for such brilliant results!Posted on Jade Mori2025-08-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pamela and Costin made me feel welcome and relaxed throughout the process of my dental work. All of my options were explained with pros and cons, and they went the extra mile to ensure that I would leave happy with my new smile (which I really did!). Costin is a perfectionist!Posted on Καλλιόπη Κασάπογλου2025-07-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I continue staying as a long term patient! 5 stars!Posted on Kim Wells2025-06-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a nervous patient, Pamela and Costin made me feel at ease from the very beginning. I had a root canal filling, two smaller fillings and a clean. I can honestly say that it's been the best dental experience I've ever had. I would recommend them to anyone.Posted on paula caplen2025-05-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Great experience, very personal, welcoming, caring and calming. Highly recommend.Posted on Corina Vasile2024-12-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with the practice and both Costin and Pamela was absolutely great because I felt safe, really looked after, treated with respect and kindness at all times. This is that type of place where you feel you are at the centre of their efforts and the price is a fair one compared to so many other places. Pamela and Costin worked with me for aprox 3 years now. I first had a crown made and then braces and the result of both is just amazing. Nothing was too much for them and they went beyond and above with their care and assistance so I can enjoy smiling again. Thank you both for a really meaningful experience with an outstanding result😘Posted on Nvk K.n.v2024-10-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
