Your gums play a crucial role in maintaining both the function and aesthetics of your smile, protecting your teeth from harmful bacteria that can affect your oral and overall health. Gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease, is incredibly common, affecting up to 90% of people worldwide. When plaque and tartar build up, your gums become inflamed, forming pockets that trap bacteria and can lead to infection, pain, sensitivity, bone loss, and even tooth loss if not addressed. At Park Mall Dental Centre, we offer a comprehensive range of soft tissue treatments designed to restore the health, function, and beauty of your gums, ensuring they continue to protect your smile for years to come.
Maintaining proper oral hygiene and scheduling routine dental checkups twice a year are essential for preventing gum disease. However, factors like age, smoking, diet, and genetics can increase your risk, making an annual periodontal evaluation important. Our team at Park Mall Dental Centre will assess your teeth, plaque levels, gums, bite, bone structure, and other risk factors to catch gum disease early and protect your oral health. In many cases, a deep cleaning may be enough, but more advanced treatments like osseous surgery may be necessary if pockets have formed. With competitive pricing, insurance acceptance, and third-party financing options, we strive to make restorative gum treatments accessible and affordable in a comfortable, friendly environment.
At Park Mall Dental Centre, we offer a variety of treatments designed to restore the health, function, and beauty of your gums. Whether you’re dealing with early-stage gingivitis or more advanced periodontal disease, we provide personalized care to help you regain a healthy, confident smile. From simple deep cleanings to advanced procedures like osseous surgery and LANAP® laser therapy, our goal is to use the least invasive and most effective methods to treat gum disease and protect your oral health. With flexible payment options and a compassionate approach, we make it easier to restore your gums and smile for a lifetime of oral health.
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical, two-step deep cleaning treatment often used as the first line of defense against gum disease. The scaling process removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, reaching the bottom of the pockets. During root planing, the roots of your teeth are smoothed to prevent further plaque buildup and reduce the risk of toxins attaching. This treatment helps restore gum health and is an essential step in treating gum disease before it advances.
Gingivectomies are performed when gum disease causes soft tissue to pull away from the teeth, creating deep pockets that trap plaque and bacteria. During this procedure, the diseased gum tissue is carefully removed using either a surgical method or a laser. By removing the damaged tissue, we restore the gum’s health and create a tight seal around your teeth, helping to prevent bacteria from causing further damage and protecting your oral health in the future.
Gum recession can expose the roots of your teeth, increasing the risk of decay and making your teeth more sensitive. A gum graft, also known as a soft tissue gingival graft, involves taking a small amount of tissue from another area in your mouth and placing it over the recessed areas. This procedure helps cover the exposed roots, reversing the effects of recession, reducing sensitivity, and preventing further bone loss, ultimately restoring both the health and appearance of your gums.
A “gummy” smile, where excessive gum tissue is visible when you smile, can be corrected with crown lengthening. This procedure involves removing excess gum tissue and sometimes bone to create a more balanced and symmetrical gum line. It also exposes more of the tooth structure, making it ideal for patients who need a crown or bridge, ensuring a proper tooth-to-gum ratio for a natural, aesthetically pleasing smile.
Frenectomies are surgical procedures that address issues caused by the frenum, the tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth (lingual frenum) or the gums to the upper lip (labial frenum). A lingual frenectomy, commonly performed in children, treats a condition known as tongue-tie, which can cause speech difficulties. A labial frenectomy, on the other hand, is often done to prevent or correct a gap between the two upper front teeth caused by an overly prominent upper lip frenum. Both procedures are relatively simple and can greatly improve oral function and appearance.
The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™) is a minimally invasive, suture-free procedure designed to treat gum recession. During the treatment, a small hole is made in the gum tissue using specialized instruments. Collagen material is then inserted to help stabilize and rejuvenate the affected area, restoring the gum line without the need for cutting or stitches. PST™ offers a quicker recovery time and a more comfortable experience compared to traditional gum grafting procedures.
