Periodontics focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and the structures that support your teeth. Healthy gums are essential for long-term oral health, stability, and comfort. At Yonge and Bloor Dental Care, our periodontic services are designed to manage gum disease at every stage — from early inflammation to advanced periodontal conditions — using evidence-based, patient-focused care.
Gum disease treatment focuses on controlling infection, reducing inflammation, and protecting the gums and bone that support your teeth. Early periodontal care helps prevent disease progression and reduces the risk of gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss. Treatment is tailored to the severity of the condition and may include ongoing monitoring and maintenance to support long-term gum health.
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical periodontal treatment used to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline. This deep cleaning process helps reduce gum pockets, promote healing, and allow the gums to reattach more securely to the teeth. It is often the first line of treatment for early to moderate gum disease and plays a key role in preventing further progression.
Gum surgery may be recommended when periodontal disease has advanced beyond what non-surgical treatments can manage. This treatment allows for deeper access to infected areas, helping reduce gum pockets and stabilize the supporting structures of the teeth. Surgical periodontal care is carefully planned to preserve natural teeth and improve long-term gum and bone stability.
