Periodontal Dentistry

Our dental office specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease. 

Sometimes issues such as gum recession or when the gum covers too much of a problematic tooth will need a periodontal approach. Before undergoing any of these procedures, it may be necessary to have a professional cleaning done. We offer this option with anaesthesia, to ensure maximum comfort for you.

Scaling and Root Planning (non surgical treatment)

This is the careful cleaning of root surfaces in order to remove deposits of plaque and tartar from deep periodontal pockets. Additional therapies may be required following a scaling and root planning procedure, but a precise cleaning procedure like this one usually does not require any further treatment.

Gum Graft Surgery

This is surgery to repair defects like gum recession and subsequent bone loss. Gum tissue is taken from your palate or another donor to cover the exposed and sensitive root. The result is a huge reduction in sensitivity and improved aesthetic quality of your smile, which improves confidence.

Dental Crown Lengthening

You may have what is known as a ''gummy'' smile; one where your teeth appear short due to longer than usual gum tissue. It's not that your teeth are shorter. This is the case simply because they are covered with too much gum tissue. A dental crown lengthening procedure reshapes excess gum and bone tissue in order to expose more of the natural tooth/teeth.
