Periodontitis, a severe form of gum disease, poses significant risks to oral health. It occurs when plaque buildup leads to inflammation and infection of the gums, causing them to pull away from the teeth and form pockets. Without treatment, these pockets deepen, leading to bone loss and tooth mobility. Symptoms include swollen, bleeding gums, bad breath, and loose teeth.
Left untreated, periodontitis can result in tooth loss and systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes. At our practice, we offer comprehensive periodontal treatments to halt the progression of the disease and restore gum health. Our periodontists specialize in scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline, as well as surgical procedures like gum grafting to repair damaged tissues.
With early detection and appropriate intervention, we can help patients manage periodontitis and preserve their oral health for years to come. Schedule a consultation with us to discuss your periodontal needs and receive personalized care.
Our Periodontitis services include:
Comprehensive Periodontal Evaluation:
Our periodontists conduct thorough examinations to assess the extent of gum disease and identify any underlying issues, enabling us to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
Scaling and Root Planing:
This non-surgical procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smoothing the tooth roots to promote gum reattachment and prevent further progression of periodontitis.
Periodontal Maintenance:
Following treatment, we provide ongoing periodontal maintenance to monitor gum health, remove any residual plaque and tartar, and prevent the recurrence of gum disease.
Gum Grafting:
In cases of severe gum recession, we offer gum grafting procedures to restore lost gum tissue, improve aesthetics, and protect tooth roots from further damage.
Pocket Reduction Surgery:
For patients with deep gum pockets, we may recommend pocket reduction surgery to reduce pocket depths, remove bacteria, and facilitate better oral hygiene maintenance.

They really took the time necessary to do everything right during my tooth implant. Very professional and skilled, top to bottom. Dr. Mcintosh and Dr Uppal are so thorough and informative, and let you know every step of the way what’s going on so there are no surprises. Very calming, as well. Thanks to Sam and to the entire team.

Kavi and Anika Dayal2024-12-19I had a silver crown since 1999, and it was breaking apart. Dr. Rashid, Yoe, Helly and the front desk team are the dream team. They adjusted their schedules to get me in for 3 appointments during the holiday/end of year season. They made me a beautiful - colour matching - temporary crown and a perfect final crown for my tooth. My new crown fits amazing, and looks just like all my other teeth. Thank you so much to the team at Townline. You guys are amazing!!!
