Your gums are an important foundation for your teeth and provide stability for ALL of your dental work, so it’s important to keep them healthy.  Periodontal disease is the most common chronic bacterial infection in adults, and if not treated properly, it can spread rapidly throughout your entire foundation.

If left untreated, periodontal bacteria can lead to bone and tooth loss that can threaten your foundation - and
overall health.

At the Thornhill Smile Centre we have a very rigorous periodontal therapy program that uses traditional Scaling/Root planing, Oravital treatments, laser therapy and periodontal surgery to manage all stages of periodontal disease.

In the event that tissue is lost due to disease our aim is to rebuild utilizing the most advanced grafting of both gum and bone and re-establishing a strong healthy foundation.
