Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. At DentalLand Leslieville, we offer advanced periodontal care to prevent, manage, and treat gum disease before it compromises your teeth and overall health. If you’re dealing with bleeding gums, gum recession, or persistent bad breath, our expert team is here to help with comprehensive periodontics Leslieville.
Periodontics is the specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the health of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Periodontal care includes both non-surgical and surgical treatments for gingivitis (early-stage gum disease) and periodontitis (advanced gum disease), as well as procedures to restore damaged gum tissue and bone.
Our goal is to stop the progression of gum disease, preserve your natural teeth, and restore a stable, healthy foundation for your smile.
We measure your gum pocket depths, check for bleeding or inflammation, and take digital X-rays to evaluate bone health.
Plaque and tartar are removed from below the gumline, and the roots are smoothed to help the gums reattach.
We create a personalized maintenance plan, which may include more frequent cleanings, antibacterial rinses, or medication.
For severe cases, we may recommend surgical options like gum grafting, flap surgery, or bone regeneration procedures.
Early signs of gum disease, such as bleeding when brushing or persistent swelling, signal the need for periodontal intervention.
Receding gums may expose tooth roots and lead to sensitivity or instability. Periodontal treatment can stop or reverse this.
Advanced gum disease can destroy bone support. If your teeth feel loose or mobile, you likely need periodontal care.
People with systemic conditions are at higher risk for gum issues and benefit from routine periodontal monitoring and care.
The cost of periodontics in Leslieville depends on the severity of your condition and the treatments required. General pricing includes:
Scaling & Root Planing: $150–$350 per quadrant
Periodontal maintenance visits: $100–$200
Surgical procedures: $500–$2,000+
A personalized quote will be given during your consultation, along with a review of insurance or CDCP coverage.

Healthy gums are the foundation of a lasting smile. At Dental Land Leslieville, Periodontics Leslieville focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease—so your teeth stay secure, your breath stays fresh, and everyday eating feels comfortable. From early gingivitis to more advanced periodontitis, we create conservative, evidence-based plans that fit your health, schedule, and budget.
Gum disease is common and often silent until it’s advanced. Inflammation around the teeth can lead to bone loss, loose teeth, and tooth loss if ignored. Beyond the mouth, chronic gum inflammation has been associated with conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The good news: with Periodontics Leslieville, most cases can be stabilized predictably—often without surgery—when caught early.
If you notice any of these, book an assessment. A brief visit can help clarify whether simple hygiene changes or targeted periodontal care is necessary.
We tailor treatment to the exact stage of your gum condition and your personal risk factors.
We measure pocket depths around each tooth, assess bleeding points, check recession, and review digital X-rays to evaluate bone levels. You’ll see your results mapped clearly, so the plan makes sense.
For early to moderate disease, Scaling and Root Planing removes plaque and tartar below the gumline and smooths root surfaces so gums can reattach. Local anesthetic keeps you comfortable; visits are often completed in two appointments.
Once inflammation is under control, specialized cleanings at shorter intervals prevent relapse. We monitor key measurements, reinforce home care, and adjust the plan as your gums heal.
When specific pockets are stubborn, we may place an antibacterial gel or microspheres under the gum to calm bacteria while tissues heal.
For deep, non-responsive pockets, minor procedures can reduce pocket depth and create a shape that’s easier to keep clean. We use conservative techniques and discuss all pros, cons, and costs in advance.
If recession exposes root surfaces, grafting can cover sensitive areas, improve aesthetics, and protect against further wear. Our Periodontics Leslieville team will explain options such as connective-tissue grafts and tunnel techniques.
When a tooth needs more exposed structure for a secure crown—or when a “gummy smile” hides tooth length—precise reshaping of gum (and sometimes bone) creates a healthy, balanced margin.
In select sites, bone grafting and regenerative membranes may help reconstruct lost support. We recommend these only when they meaningfully improve long-term stability.
Implants need healthy gums, too. We diagnose and manage peri-implant mucositis/itis with targeted cleanings, home-care coaching, and site-specific therapies to protect your investment.
You’ll leave knowing exactly where things stand and how we’ll improve them.
Gum care should never feel intimidating. For Periodontics Leslieville, we use topical gels, gentle local anesthetics, selective hand scaling, and shorter visits when helpful. Nitrous oxide or oral sedation may be offered on a case-by-case basis for longer sessions.
Consistency matters more than perfection. We’ll help you build a routine you’ll actually keep.
Our Periodontics Leslieville plans address these risks directly, so healing is predictable.
You’ll receive a written estimate before treatment. Many plans cover scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance, and certain local therapies; surgical procedures and grafting vary by policy. We can submit pre-determinations, phase care, and align appointments with your benefits cycle—no surprises.
Can gum disease really be reversed?
Gingivitis can be reversed; periodontitis can be stabilized. With Periodontics Leslieville and consistent home care, pockets often shrink and bleeding resolves.
Will deep cleaning hurt?
We numb the area and work gently. Expect pressure, not pain. Mild tenderness is common for a day or two and responds well to simple analgesics and warm salt-water rinses.
How often will I need to come in?
After initial therapy, most patients do best with periodontal maintenance every 3–4 months. We’ll personalize the interval to your response and risk factors.
Why do my gums bleed even though I brush?
Bleeding signals inflammation below the gumline that a standard brush can’t reach. Targeted cleanings and the use of the right interdental tools typically stop bleeding quickly.
Will I lose teeth?
We aim to keep your natural teeth. Early, consistent treatment dramatically reduces the risk of tooth loss.
If your gums bleed, feel tender, or seem to be receding—or if you’ve been told you have “deep pockets”—schedule Periodontics Leslieville at Dental Land Leslieville. We’ll measure precisely, treat conservatively, and set you up with a simple plan that restores comfort and protects your smile for the long term. Call us or request an appointment online today.
