Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting structures of your teeth. It often begins with subtle signs like bleeding gums or bad breath, but if left untreated, it can lead to serious consequences, including tooth loss and even systemic health problems.
Even with excellent oral hygiene, anyone can be susceptible to gum disease. That’s why regular checkups and professional cleanings are crucial for early detection and effective treatment.
Our Comprehensive Periodontal Care Services
At Braeside Dental Centre, we offer a range of personalized treatments to address gum disease at every stage:
- Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning): This non-surgical procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the tooth roots to promote healing and prevent further bacterial buildup.
- Antibiotic Therapy: We may recommend localized or systemic antibiotics to combat infection and aid in the healing process.
- Laser Gum Therapy: We utilize advanced laser technology for minimally invasive gum treatment, reducing discomfort and promoting faster recovery.
- Surgical Treatments: In advanced cases, surgical interventions like gum grafting or pocket reduction surgery may be necessary to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is bone grafting painful?
We prioritize your comfort during and after the procedure. You’ll receive local anesthesia to numb the area, and we can offer sedation options if needed. While some discomfort is normal during healing, it’s usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long does it take to recover from bone grafting?
Initial healing typically takes about a week. However, the bone graft itself needs time to fully integrate with your jawbone, which can take several months depending on the size and type of graft. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and monitor your progress closely.
What are the risks and complications of bone grafting?
Bone grafting is generally safe, but as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks such as infection, bleeding, swelling, or nerve damage. Our experienced team takes every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure a successful outcome.
When can I get dental implants after bone grafting?
The timing for dental implant placement depends on the extent of the graft and your individual healing. In some cases, implants may be placed simultaneously with the graft. However, it’s often necessary to wait several months for the graft to fully heal and provide a stable foundation.
Does insurance cover bone grafting?
Insurance coverage for bone grafting varies depending on your specific plan and the reason for the procedure. If it’s deemed medically necessary for dental implant placement or other restorative treatments, your insurance may cover a portion of the cost. We’ll gladly assist you in understanding your benefits and navigating the insurance process.
