Periodontist for Mayfair (W1K) — Evening & Same-Week Appointments
Duo-Lase™ laser gum treatment is a non-surgical option for busy Mayfair professionals, provided by a periodontist-led team at The Behrens Dental Practice in South Kensington (SW7) — about 10 minutes from Mayfair on the Piccadilly line, with early-morning, evening (to 8pm), and Saturday appointments.
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.
Appointments That Fit Around Work
Gum disease doesn't wait for a gap in your diary — but treatment shouldn't cost you a day's work either. We open 8am to 8pm Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with 8am starts the rest of the week and Saturday appointments (9am–4pm), so you can be seen before work, after work, or at the weekend.
From Mayfair the clinic is about 10 minutes on the Piccadilly line, and Duo-Lase™ sessions are efficient — most patients are in and out and back to their day without the downtime traditional gum surgery demands.
If you'd like to see a specific clinician or need a discreet, unhurried consultation, just tell our coordinators when you book.
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 bacteria causing your gum disease, so your plan is tailored to you.

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:
Painful or swollen gums — ongoing tenderness usually signals an active infection.
Persistent bad breath — caused by the bacteria behind gum disease.
Deepening pockets between teeth — where bacteria collect as gums pull away.
A tooth that has come loose — a sign the disease has reached the supporting bone; treat as urgent.
Blood when brushing — the earliest and most common warning sign.
A swollen gum abscess — a painful, pus-filled lump that needs prompt care.
For the full picture, see our guide to the signs of gum disease.
