Comprehensive Gum Care & Periodontal Treatment
Healthy gums are essential for maintaining strong teeth and overall oral health. At Stony Plain Dental Centre, we provide comprehensive periodontic care, including gum disease treatment, gum grafting, and bone regeneration procedures, to help patients maintain healthy smiles and prevent complications related to periodontal disease.
What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease (also known as gum disease) is a progressive infection that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to:
- Gum recession
- Bone loss in the jaw
- Tooth mobility and eventual tooth loss
- Increased risk of systemic health issues such as heart disease and diabetes

Periodontal Treatments We Offer
Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
A non-surgical treatment that removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria below the gumline to help stop gum disease progression.
Gum Grafting
Used to restore lost gum tissue due to recession, helping to protect tooth roots and improve gum aesthetics.
Osseous Surgery (Pocket Reduction Surgery)
A surgical procedure that removes infected tissue and reshapes the bone to prevent further gum disease progression.
Bone Grafting & Regeneration
When periodontal disease leads to jawbone loss, bone grafting helps restore bone density in preparation for dental implants or to strengthen tooth support.
Periodontal Maintenance
For patients who have been treated for gum disease, we recommend regular deep cleanings to maintain gum health and prevent disease from returning.
How to Prevent Gum Disease
To maintain healthy gums, we recommend:
- Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Flossing daily to remove plaque buildup between teeth
- Scheduling regular dental cleanings and checkups
- Avoiding smoking, which increases the risk of gum disease
