Protecting the foundation of your teeth

Periodontal care focuses on the gums, bone, and supporting structures that help keep your teeth stable. At Burnaby Heights Dental Centre, periodontal services are designed to help identify and manage gum concerns before they lead to more serious oral health problems.

Recognizing signs of gum disease

Bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, swelling, tenderness, or loose teeth can all be signs that your gums need attention. Gum disease can progress slowly, which is why regular evaluation and early treatment are important for protecting your long-term oral health.

Treatment options for different stages

Depending on your needs, periodontal care may include deep cleaning, scaling and root planing, laser treatment, gum grafting, bone grafting, crown lengthening, or other gum-focused therapies. Dr. Katy’s background in periodontics helps guide treatment with a careful and personalized approach.

Supporting long-term smile stability

Healthy gums do more than improve the way your smile looks. They help protect your teeth, support chewing comfort, and reduce the risk of future dental complications. Burnaby Heights Dental Centre helps patients manage gum health with treatment plans built around prevention, stability, and long-term care.
