What is Periodontal Disease?

If you have been experiencing bleeding or receding gums, then you may have early signs of periodontal disease. Make an appointment with a female periodontist in Mississauga at Periodontal Associates today! We can do a consultation with you and discuss your options for treatment. Periodontal disease can be described as:

• “Perio” means around, and “dontal” refers to teeth. Periodontal diseases are infections of the structures around the teeth, which include the gums, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. In the earliest stage of periodontal disease — gingivitis — the infection affects the gums. In more severe forms of the disease, all of the tissues are involved. (Perio.org)

Gum Recession:

Gum recession is the process in which the margin of the gum tissue that surrounds the teeth wears away, or pulls back, exposing more of the tooth, or the tooth’s root. When gum recession occurs, “pockets,” or gaps, form between the teeth and gum line, making it easy for disease-causing bacteria to build up.

Crown Lengthening:

Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure performed by a dentist to expose a greater amount of tooth structure for the purpose of subsequently restoring the tooth prosthetically.

Gum Grafting:

If you see a few of your teeth have started to look longer or you frequently experience sensitivity to hot and cold, your gums could be receding, and a portion of your tooth’s root is exposed. Gum recession occurs gradually, and it may sneak up on you. Gum grafting treatment for receding gums can help prevent any further loss of gum tissue.

Bite Adjustment:

By adjusting your bite we are adjusting the tension that exists during normal biting. Adjusting and equally distributing the biting pressure on a tooth decreases the detachment of the jaw and relieves extreme pressure on the supporting gum and bone structures.

Frenectomy:

A frenectomy is simply the removal of a frenum in the mouth. A frenum is a muscular attachment between two tissues. There are two frena (the plural form of frenum) in the mouth that can sometimes obstruct normal function and are candidates for frenectomies.

Dental Implants:

A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor.
