Periodontics Near You
In Canada, periodontics is one of nine recognized dental specialties. Periodontists are concerned with the structural tissues that support teeth, such as the gums, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament. Periodontists continue their studies after dental school, focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting these tissues.
Gum Disease & Your Oral Health
Many people suffer from periodontal (gum) disease, which weakens the structures that support the teeth. The condition is an infection of the soft tissues, causing inflammation, pain, and, potentially, tooth loss. Prevention and early diagnosis of gum disease ensures periodontists and dentists can properly treat and restore the gums. If you experience bleeding gums, ongoing tooth sensitivity, or receding or thin gums, be sure to visit our periodontists in Mississauga for a thorough examination.

Supporting Implant Dentistry
As experts in the structural support for the teeth, periodontists are often involved in dental implant surgeries. Because the posts for implants are inserted directly into the gums, it’s important that a professional with specialized knowledge of this tissue is involved in planning the treatment. Periodontists can also provide support and services when peri-implantitis occurs, a condition that causes the loss of bone structure and gums around an implant.
