Periodontal Treatment in Midtown Toronto
The health of your teeth goes hand-in-hand with the health of your gums! Take advantage of our comprehensive range of periodontal treatment options to keep your gums and other supporting structures healthy.
Arestin
Arestin is a proven antibiotic that supports scaling and root planing for gum disease treatment. It is a tasteless formula – available in a powder form- that defends against disease and heals deep inside your periodontal (gum/bone) pockets.
Sinus Lifts
We offer sinus lifting procedures by assuring the success of your dental implant treatment. Loss of bone in the back areas of your upper jaw affects the placement of your dental implant.
The procedure causes minimal discomfort, and proper after-care will help ensure that your upcoming dental implant treatment is successful.
Root Planing
Dental plaque builds up on your teeth and descends below your gum line. Removing the plaque buildup can cause your tooth/teeth to have a jagged feel and appearance.
Root planing smoothes the tooth root and helps the gums heal. A smooth, healthy tooth root enables the gums to reattach and prevents more dental plaque from forming on the root.
Gum Grafting
Treat gum recession and protect your sensitive tooth root from exposure to bacteria and periodontal disease. With gum grafting procedure, we use your own gum tissue to cover the margins, protect your underlying bone, and guard against infection and bone loss.
Osseous Recontouring
Osseous Recontouring eliminates advanced gum disease.
This procedure accesses the deeper, diseased tooth root and bone areas and removes the threat of infection from bacteria.
Guided Bone Regeneration
Guided Bone Regeneration involves sealing the bond between your tooth and gum tissue.
This procedure prevents food debris and bacteria from building up in the space between your tooth and gums and restores health to diseased gum tissue.
Bone Grafting For Implant Surgery

Bone grafting increases the mass of your available jaw bone allowing placement of a dental implant and to help any bone deterioration.
The bone used for grafting typically comes from one of three sources – your own body, a cadaver, or from cow bone. If your bone is used, it will be obtained from other areas in your mouth or body.

After Periodontal Treatment
At Delisle Dental Group in midtown Toronto, we will provide you with after-care instructions for post-periodontal treatment.
After your periodontal treatment, you should avoid any contact with the area of your gums you've had treated. Specifically, this means you should wait approximately 12 hours to brush your teeth post-treatment, and 7-10 days before flossing or cleaning between your treated teeth.
You should also avoid eating foods that are hard or sticky (popcorn, caramel, etc.) for 1 week post-treatment., and be sure to maintain a routine of follow-up appointments with your periodontist for check-ups.
