A periodontist is a dentist that specializes in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions involving the gum and bone that support your teeth. In other words, we specialize in making sure you have a strong foundation for your smile. Sometimes teeth can’t be saved, or you already may be missing teeth, and in those cases we can help restore that foundation using dental implants.

Everyone can benefit from seeing a periodontist. Seventy percent of Canadians will have gum disease at some point in their lives. Our job is to help prevent gum disease from happening and to treat it if you already have it.
Another reason to see a periodontist is if you need to replace a missing tooth with a dental implant. Periodontists undergo extensive training placing dental implants.
Periodontists are also trained to carry out other procedures such as cosmetic gum surgery and tooth extraction.
