Advanced treatment options Comprehensive periodontal care in Halifax
Periodontics goes beyond routine dental care. We diagnose and treat conditions affecting the gums, bone, and supporting tissues around your teeth, using advanced techniques designed to protect oral health and improve long-term outcomes.
Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a common condition that affects the gums and bone supporting your teeth. It’s the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Learn about its causes, symptoms, progression, and the steps you can take to protect your oral health.
Periodontal Pockets
Periodontal pockets develop when gums pull away from the teeth, creating spaces where harmful bacteria can accumulate. Learn how pockets form and the treatment options available to restore healthier gum tissue.
Gum Recession
When gum tissue recedes, tooth roots become exposed and vulnerable to sensitivity, decay, and further damage. Learn why recession occurs and how treatment can help protect your smile.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening reshapes gum and bone tissue to expose more tooth structure. It may be recommended to support restorative treatment or improve the appearance of a “gummy” smile.
Extractions
Although saving teeth is always our first choice, some situations require removal of a damaged or compromised tooth. We perform extractions carefully while planning for your long-term oral health.
Biopsy
A biopsy involves collecting a small tissue sample to investigate unusual areas of concern. This important diagnostic procedure helps identify disease and guide appropriate treatment.
Biteplane Therapy
Custom bite planes help protect teeth from grinding and clenching while reducing strain on the jaw muscles and joints. They offer long-term protection and improved comfort.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a strong, natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. They restore function, support oral health, and are designed to feel and perform much like natural teeth.
