Periodontics in Scarborough, ON

Periodontal Treatment Scarborough

Personalized Care for Healthier Gums

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on the gums and the bone that support your teeth. Healthy gums help protect these supporting structures and keep your teeth stable. Gum disease can progress quietly, sometimes without pain, and may lead to gum recession, loose teeth, or tooth loss if left untreated.

At BSRV Dental Office, we provide periodontal care to help identify gum problems and manage your oral health. Your visit may include a gum examination, measuring the spaces around your teeth, and reviewing dental X-rays when needed. For advanced cases, we can help coordinate a referral to a periodontist. Our goal is to help you understand your gum health and make informed decisions about protecting your natural teeth.

Benefits of Periodontal Care

Healthy gums do more than support your smile. Periodontal care helps protect the tissues around your teeth and identify gum problems before they become more serious.

Protects Tooth Support

Healthy gums and supporting bone help keep your teeth stable and protect their foundation. They also help reduce the risk of tooth loss.

Identifies Gum Problems Early

Regular gum assessments can help detect signs of inflammation and gum disease, allowing treatment to begin when appropriate.

Supports Other Dental Treatments

Healthy gums and bone provide important support for treatments such as dental crowns, implants, and cosmetic dental work when clinically suitable.

What to Expect During Periodontal Care

Periodontal care starts with a gum examination to assess your gum health and determine the next steps. Your dentist will explain the findings and discuss suitable treatment options.

1

Gum Examination and Diagnosis

Your dentist checks your gums, measures the pockets around your teeth, reviews your dental and medical history, and may take X-rays to assess the supporting bone.

2

Personalized Treatment

Your dentist explains the findings and recommends appropriate care. Non-surgical treatment, such as scaling and root planing, may be recommended to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline. The area can be numbed to help keep you comfortable during treatment.

3

Follow-Up and Maintenance

Your dentist monitors your progress and discusses further treatment or a referral if needed. Maintenance visits are scheduled according to your gum health, often every few months. Daily brushing, cleaning between your teeth, and following your dentist's advice help support long-term gum health.

Is Periodontics Treatment Right for You?

Who Is a Good Candidate for Periodontics?

People With Bleeding or Swollen Gums

If your gums bleed when brushing or flossing, or feel red, swollen, or tender, a gum examination can help identify the cause.

People With Receding Gums or Persistent Bad Breath

Gums that pull away from teeth, loose teeth, or bad breath that doesn't go away may indicate a gum problem that needs attention.

People With Gum Disease or Higher Risk Factors

If you've had gum disease before, smoke, or have diabetes, regular dental check-ups can help monitor your gum health.

Periodontal Treatments We Offer

Periodontal care focuses on managing gum disease, protecting the tissues that support your teeth, and maintaining gum health. Treatment depends on your condition and how much the gums and supporting bone are affected.

Non-Surgical Care: Scaling and root planing, often called deep cleaning, removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline. Maintenance cleanings help monitor gum health and manage the risk of further problems.
Gum Surgery: When gum disease is more advanced, procedures such as pocket reduction or flap surgery may be considered. Gum grafting can address gum recession, while crown lengthening or gum contouring may be recommended for specific clinical needs. Explore Gum Surgery to learn more.
Bone and Implant-Related Care: Bone grafting, socket or ridge preservation, and sinus augmentation may help prepare or rebuild areas of bone for certain dental treatments. Dental implant placement may also be considered when appropriate. Read more about Oral Surgery.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Early Signs of Gum Disease?

Early signs include bleeding when brushing or flossing, red or swollen gums, tenderness, and persistent bad breath. Gum disease can develop without pain, so regular dental check-ups are important even when symptoms seem mild.

Can Gum Disease Be Reversed?

Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, can often be reversed with professional cleaning and good daily oral hygiene. Periodontitis can cause damage to the supporting bone and tissues, so treatment focuses on controlling the disease and preventing further damage.

Are Periodontists Covered by OHIP?

OHIP generally doesn’t cover routine dental care, including most periodontal treatments. Coverage may depend on specific eligibility rules or exceptional circumstances, so check with OHIP and your insurance provider before treatment.

Do You Need a Referral to See a Periodontist in Ontario?

Not always. Some periodontal offices accept direct appointments, while others prefer a referral from a general dentist. Contact the office and check your insurance requirements before booking.

How Much Does Periodontal Treatment Cost?

The cost depends on the severity of gum disease, the type of treatment required, the number of areas treated, and whether surgery is needed. A dental examination helps determine the recommended treatment and the expected cost.

Is Gum Disease Associated With Heart Disease or Diabetes?

Research has found associations between gum disease and conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but an association doesn’t prove that one directly causes the other. People with diabetes should pay particular attention to gum health and discuss ongoing care with their dental team.

Dr. Gopal was professional, patient, and clearly skilled — he took the time to explain everything and made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. The quality of the treatment was outstanding, and it’s obvious he genuinely cares about his patients’ wellbeing.

I left feeling confident in the care I received and would highly recommend BSRV Dental and Dr. Gopal to anyone looking for a trustworthy dentist.
