Periodontics

The health of your gums and supporting bone forms the foundation of a healthy, confident smile.

Periodontics is the specialist branch of dentistry dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting these vital structures, as well as the placement and long-term maintenance of dental implants.

What is a periodontist?

A periodontist is a dentist who has completed several additional years of intensive postgraduate training focused exclusively on the health of the gums, bone and soft tissues that support the teeth. This advanced specialist education provides the experience required to diagnose and manage complex periodontal conditions, perform delicate soft tissue procedures and deliver sophisticated implant treatments.

Periodontists are uniquely trained to preserve the natural dentition wherever possible, helping patients maintain healthy teeth and gums for the long term while creating the ideal foundation for restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

Periodontic assessment

When might you need to see a periodontist?

Many periodontal conditions develop gradually and may not cause discomfort until significant damage has occurred. Seeking specialist assessment at an early stage can help protect your oral health.

You may benefit from seeing a periodontist if you have:

  • Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing.
  • Swollen, tender or inflamed gums.
  • Receding gums or teeth that appear longer.
  • Persistent bad breath.
  • Loose or shifting teeth.
  • A family history of gum disease.
  • Concerns regarding the health of your gums before orthodontic, restorative or implant treatment.
  • Previously diagnosed periodontal disease requiring specialist management.

The foundation of your smile

Whether treating advanced gum disease, correcting gum recession, placing dental implants or supporting complex restorative treatment, our focus is always on preserving the health, function and aesthetics of your smile for years to come.

Because healthy gums are the foundation of every successful dental treatment, specialist periodontal care is often one of the most important investments you can make in your long-term oral health.
