EXPERT PERIODONTICS

in Toronto, Ontario

Don’t let gum disease affect your oral health.

What is Periodontics?

Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases that harm the gums and other parts that hold teeth in place, such as the bone and tissues. The primary diseases it tackles are gingivitis and periodontitis, caused by bacterial infections and gum inflammation.
In severe cases of periodontitis, the supporting bone structure around the teeth can be damaged, leading to tooth loss. To address this, periodontists may perform bone grafting procedures to regenerate lost bone, stabilize the teeth, and restore overall oral health. Bone grafting plays a crucial role in rebuilding the foundation of your teeth, ensuring a healthier and stronger smile.

What does gum disease look like?

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions About

PERIODONTICS

How to cure gum disease without a dentist?

Dental crowns typically last between 10 to 30 years, depending on oral hygiene, eating habits, and the material used. Regular dental check-ups and proper care can extend their lifespan.

The procedure is performed under anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Most patients report mild soreness for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

Gold crowns are extremely durable and long-lasting but less aesthetic. Porcelain crowns provide a more natural tooth appearance, making them a preferred choice for visible teeth. However, they may be more prone to chipping.

Many dental insurance plans partially cover dental crowns, usually 50% to 80% of the cost, depending on the provider and policy. It’s recommended to check with your insurance company for specific coverage details.

The main types of dental bridges include:

  • Traditional Bridge (most common, using crowns on adjacent teeth)
  • Cantilever Bridge (supported on only one side)
  • Maryland Bridge (uses metal or porcelain wings)
  • Implant-Supported Bridge (attached to dental implants instead of natural teeth)

The cost of a dental bridge in Canada ranges from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the type of bridge and number of missing teeth. An implant-supported bridge may cost more.
