At Smilestone Dental, your oral health is our top priority.

What is Periodontics?

Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease (gum disease). It also includes procedures that support the structures around the teeth like the gums and jawbone. Periodontists are dental professionals trained to do treatments like pocket reduction surgery, gum grafting and dental implant placement. These procedures help improve the health and appearance of your smile while preserving your natural teeth. With the right care, periodontics plays a crucial role in long term dental health and preventing further complications.

Benefits of Periodontics

Investing in periodontal care has many benefits that go beyond just your gums. It supports the foundation of your teeth and overall oral health. At Smilestone Dental we use regenerative therapies and modern technology to deliver effective and comfortable treatments. Our approach ensures each patient’s individual risks and needs are addressed in a comprehensive and thoughtful manner. Here are the benefits of periodontics in Vancouver:

  • Improved Gum Health
    Periodontal treatments eliminate harmful bacteria and inflammation in the gum tissue. By addressing issues early we can prevent gum recession and preserve your natural teeth. This means better oral hygiene and long term results.
  • Support for Dental Implants
    A healthy gum line and strong bone is essential for successful dental implant treatment. Periodontics includes bone grafting and other procedures that make patients candidates for implants. This sets the foundation for a stable and permanent solution to missing teeth.
  • Prevention of Tooth Loss
    Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth mobility and eventual tooth loss. By diagnosing early and customizing treatment plans we help preserve your smile. Keeping your natural teeth means avoiding more extensive mouth reconstruction later.
  • Better Aesthetic
    Healthy gums means a more beautiful smile. With procedures like gum contouring and grafts periodontics improves the symmetry and health of your gum line. This not only looks better but also boosts self confidence.
  • Long Term Oral Health
    Periodontal care isn’t a one time fix. Ongoing treatment, education and professional consultations prevent future issues. It’s a long term solution that keeps your oral cavity in optimal condition.

We strive to...

Empower our patients with possibilities
Treat our patients and their family like our own
Let our patients know what to expect during treatment
Go above and beyond to accommodate busy schedules

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about periodontics? You’re not alone. Here are the answers to the most common questions our patients ask:

What causes gum disease?

Gum disease is often caused by the buildup of bacteria from poor oral hygiene. Other factors like smoking, genetics and medical conditions can also increase your risk. Regular checkups help detect problems early and prevent complications.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

If you have healthy gums and enough bone to support an implant you may be a good candidate. Some patients may need bone grafts before dental implant treatment. Our dentist will determine the most suitable option for you based on your individual risks and oral health.

Is periodontal treatment painful?

Most procedures are done with local anesthesia or sedation for your comfort. Our team uses the latest techniques to minimize pain and speed up healing. We also provide clear aftercare instructions to help you heal smoothly.

Can gum recession be reversed?

Early stages of gum recession can sometimes be managed but severe cases often require gum grafting. Periodontal procedures help restore the gum line and protect your natural teeth. Get care before the problem gets worse.

How long does the treatment take?

It depends on the severity of your condition and the procedures needed. Some treatments can be done in one day, others may require multiple visits. We’ll give you a full timeline during your consultation so you know what to expect.
