Gum Disease Management

We treat all stages of gum disease, from gingivitis to periodontitis. Scaling and root planing help manage gum disease by removing bacteria in plaque and tartar below the gumline. Treatment plans focus on your gums to help prevent bone and tooth loss.

Dental Implants

Dental implants can improve function, speech, and jawbone growth for many people. An evaluation will show whether dental implants are a good solution for you.

We treat receding gums and cover exposed tooth roots with gum grafting. This procedure reduces sensitivity and helps support teeth by protecting the roots.

ARE YOUR GUMS BLEEDING?

No one likes to think about gum disease. Yet the last Canadian Health Measures Survey shows that 83% of adults aged 20 to 79 have bleeding gums. Bleeding gums are the first sign of early gum disease, called gingivitis. If left untreated, it progresses to periodontitis and can lead to tooth and bone loss. Our periodontist can diagnose your gum condition and recommend appropriate treatment. At Ora Dental, we treat all stages of gum disease and help you manage it to support healthier gums and bone, improving your oral health.

FAQs

Is there a difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?
Yes, both are gum disease, but they are different stages of it. Gingivitis is the early stage, where people notice bleeding gums. It is reversible. Periodontitis is stages 2 through 4 of gum disease, where symptoms and conditions are more severe and require more extensive treatment.
Isn’t gum disease something older people get?
No, many people as young as 20 are reporting gingivitis and other gum disease issues. The population of 40-somethings with gum disease is growing much faster than in previous years.
Will I lose my teeth?
It depends on whether you pay attention to your oral health and seek treatment for gum and bone issues. Gingivitis can be reversed. Other options are available for those with periodontitis. Regular cleanings to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line can help you keep your teeth for a lifetime.
What do I need to do to keep my gums healthy?
Those with gum disease should be vigilant about their oral health care routine, such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and keeping regular dental appointments for monitoring, cleaning, and maintenance.
Can Ora Dental perform gum surgery?
Yes, gum surgery is one of our options for treating gum disease. We also specialise in dental implants to replace missing teeth.
