Specialist periodontal care in Sydney

What does a periodontist do?

A periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gum disease and the conditions affecting the structures that support your teeth and dental implants. Periodontal health plays an important role in your overall health — untreated gum disease can contribute to tooth loss, inflammation and bone deterioration.

Dr Hui provides comprehensive periodontal assessments and tailored treatment plans designed to preserve the healthy gum and bone that support your teeth, and improve long-term oral function — with careful consideration of both your dental health and overall well-being.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral to see a periodontist?
Some patients are referred by their general dentist, while others book directly for a specialist periodontal assessment — a referral isn't required to arrange a consultation.
What's the difference between a dentist and a periodontist?
A periodontist is a registered dental specialist with advanced training in the treatment of gum disease, periodontal surgery, bone regeneration and dental implants.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Early-stage gum disease can often be managed and stabilised with professional treatment and good oral hygiene. Advanced periodontal disease requires ongoing specialist care to control its progression.
Are periodontal treatments painful?
Patient comfort is prioritised throughout treatment. Local anaesthetic, sedation options and modern techniques help minimise discomfort — and Dr Hui holds a Master of Science in Medicine in Pain Management.
How often should I see a periodontist?
The frequency of periodontal maintenance depends on your condition, risk factors and treatment history. Dr Hui provides personalised recommendations for long-term care.
