Gum Disease Therapy in Leamington

Periodontal treatment methods depend upon the type and severity of the disease. Our dentists will work with you to create a treatment plan based on your particular case. 

Once your periodontal treatment has been completed, our dental team will recommend that you have regular dental examinations and preventive therapy, usually four times a year.

• Preventive Gum Therapy

  If the disease is caught in the early stages, preventive therapy will be recommended.

  Regular hygiene cleanings and exams are important for maintaining the health of your gums.

  By practicing good oral hygiene at home and eating a balanced diet, you can also significantly reduce your chances of ever getting gum disease.

• Non-Surgical Gum Therapy

  For patients with mild gum disease, a deep cleaning performed by a dental hygienist may be enough to reverse it.

  The dental hygienist will scrape away the plaque and tartar around and below the gum line, and smooth out any rough areas left behind through a process called scaling and root planing.

• Surgical Gum Therapy

  For patients with more advanced forms of gum disease, more invasive surgical treatments may be necessary to reverse it.

  There are a few different types of surgical gum therapy such as gum grafting and bone grafting.

Cosmetic Gum Therapy in Leamington

If your gums rest too low or too high on your teeth, and you are unhappy with your smile, you may be a candidate for gum grafting surgery. This cosmetic dental procedure can help to even out an uneven gum line and reduce the perceived length of the teeth to give you a smile you can be proud of.
