Dental issues such as gum diseas don’t always require surgical intervention. At Bayview Smile Centre, we use advanced non-surgical gum therapy to treat gingivitis and periodontitis. These methods are both effective and comfortable, allowing you to preserve your smile and keep your teeth for life.
The term non-surgical gum therapy refers to treatment options for early to moderate stages of gum disease that do not rely on surgical procedures. Examples of this type of treatments include scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), antimicrobial therapy, and a periodontal maintenance schedule.
By addressing bacterial infection and inflammation below the gumline, we halt progression, protect your supporting bone and help stabilize your teeth.
Gum disease (gingivitis), if left untreated, can quietly damage your gums and the bone supporting your teeth. This can lead to loose teeth, bad breath, loss of bone, and even tooth loss.
