Laser Gum Treatment for Knightsbridge — Discreet, Multilingual Periodontal Care

Duo-Lase™ laser gum treatment is a non-surgical, multilingual option for patients in Knightsbridge, provided by a periodontist-led team at The Behrens Dental Practice — one Piccadilly-line stop away in South Kensington (SW7).

If a dentist has told you that you need gum surgery, this is a different route: it treats gum disease without scalpels or stitches. Developed by Dr. Ole Behrens (GDC 79056), Duo-Lase™ has a 99% success rate at saving teeth across more than 1,000 patients over 15+ years. Initial consultations are free.

International & Multilingual Periodontal Care

Knightsbridge is home to a large international community, and gum disease is a lot less daunting when you can discuss it in your own language. Our team treats patients in English, German, Russian, French, Portuguese, and Hindi, so your diagnosis, your options, and your treatment plan are explained clearly — no translating medical terms on the spot.

We also see many patients who split their time between cities, and we'll coordinate treatment and follow-ups around your travel schedule. Discretion and comfort are part of the service: private consultations, a calm Georgian-house setting, and a team used to looking after people who expect both clinical excellence and a personal touch.

Laser Gum Treatment Without the Surgery

Duo-Lase™ is a dual-laser treatment for gum disease. The first laser significantly reduces the bacteria driving the infection; the second stimulates the gum and bone to heal. Because there's no cutting and no stitches, recovery is faster and more comfortable than traditional gum surgery — most patients are back to normal the same day.

Treatment begins with a microbiological analysis of the exact bacteria causing your gum disease, so your plan is tailored to you. New to it? See how Duo-Lase™ works.

Spotting Gum Disease Early

Gum disease is easiest to treat when it's caught early, and most cases start with signs you can notice yourself. If any of these sound familiar, book a free assessment:

• Sore or swollen gums — ongoing tenderness usually points to an active infection.

• Stubborn bad breath — caused by the bacteria behind gum disease.

• Gum pockets forming around teeth — where bacteria collect as gums pull away.

• A wobbly or loose tooth — a sign the disease has reached the supporting bone; treat as urgent.

• Gums that bleed when you brush — the earliest and most common warning sign.

• A painful gum abscess — a pus-filled lump that needs prompt care.

For the full list, see our guide to the symptoms of gum disease.

Getting to the Clinic from Knightsbridge

We're at 21 Thurloe Place, right by South Kensington Underground station — just one stop from Knightsbridge on the Piccadilly line, about five minutes. If you'd rather walk, it's a 10–15 minute stroll down Brompton Road past the V&A, whether you're starting near Harrods, Sloane Street, or Hyde Park Corner. There's no dedicated parking, so most patients arrive by tube, taxi, or on foot.
