Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. When gum disease threatens your oral health, our Ottawa periodontics team provides gentle, comprehensive treatment using advanced sedation dentistry options — from mild relaxation to complete sleep — so you can receive the care you need without fear.
Periodontics focuses on the health of your gums and supporting bone. Think of your gums as the foundation of a house — when the foundation weakens, even strong walls can't stand. Similarly, when gum disease damages the tissues around your teeth, even healthy teeth can become loose or be lost.
Gum disease affects nearly half of adults over 30, but it's treatable — especially when caught early. Our periodontists specialize in preventing, diagnosing, and treating all stages of gum disease, plus performing surgical procedures to restore gum health and appearance.
Many people delay gum disease treatment because of dental anxiety. We believe no one should suffer from gum disease because they're afraid of treatment.
We offer a comprehensive range of periodontal services to address every stage of gum disease:
Pink, firm gums that don't bleed during brushing or flossing. Gums fit snugly around teeth.
Gums become red, puffy, and bleed easily. Caused by plaque buildup but no permanent damage has occurred yet. Completely reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care.
Inflammation extends below the gum line, destroying the bone and fibres holding teeth in place. Gums pull away creating "pockets" that harbour bacteria. This damage is permanent, but treatment can stop further destruction.
Bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, red or swollen gums, gums pulling away from teeth, loose or separating teeth, and pus between teeth and gums. If you notice any of these, schedule a consultation right away.
Periodontal treatment costs vary based on the specific procedures needed. We provide a detailed estimate during your consultation.
Most dental insurance plans cover periodontal treatment at 50–80% when medically necessary.
We provide direct billing to major insurers and accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
Sedation fees are additional to treatment costs. Periodontal maintenance: $150–$250 per visit.
