Periodontal Services in the West Island
For a Deep-Rooted Smile
At Centre Dentaire Pierrefonds, our periodontal services are designed to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease and conditions affecting the structures that support your teeth. Early detection, effective treatments, and personalized follow-up care help maintain the stability of your teeth and your long-term oral health.
What is periodontics?
Periodontics treats inflammatory diseases that damage, and often destroy, the gums and surrounding structures of the teeth. Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are caused by bacteria and can lead to bleeding, gum recession, bad breath, sensitivity, and loose teeth. If left untreated, they can result in tooth loss.
Symptoms to watch for include:
- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Red, swollen, or receding gums
- Teeth sensitive to cold,changing gaps, or loose teeth
Our Services for Treating Periodontal Disease
Early detection and care are crucial in preventing severe degenerative periodontal conditions, as well as the onset of secondary health disorders such as heart disease and diabetes. Our experienced specialists periodontists provide:
- Thorough examination and diagnosis of your gums and supporting structures
- Gingival grafting (gum grafts) to correct recession and reduce sensitivity
- Scaling and root planing (root surface cleaning)
- Root surface debridement (removal of damaged tissue)
Targeted periodontal surgery (preventative, advanced conditions)
Gum Grafts: When and Why?
A gum graft may be recommended if you have receding gums (exposed roots), tooth sensitivity, discomfort when brushing, or cosmetic concerns. This procedure helps protect the tooth from wear, reduce sensitivity, and improve the appearance of the gum line.

Periodontics and General Health
Numerous studies highlight links between periodontal diseases and certain systemic conditions (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular disease). Although these are correlations, maintaining healthy gums is part of a holistic approach to well-being. Effective daily oral hygiene and regular checkups are an excellent way to prevent periodontal disease.
