Periodontist Whyte Ave, Edmonton

At Whyte Ave Dental Choice, we provide comprehensive periodontal treatment in Whyte Ave, Edmonton to protect your gums as well as your teeth. Our dental team provides expert treatments that solve your gum problem and restore your oral health. Whether you need soft tissue grafts or crown lengthening, our periodontal treatments are designed to give you the optimal care possible.

• Soft tissue grafts : This procedure is done when your gums have receded or are damaged. We take healthy tissue from another part of your mouth, like the roof of your mouth, and place it where your gums have pulled back. This protects your teeth’s roots and gives you more chances of avoiding further gum loss.
• Crown lengthening : In this procedure, the tooth surface’s surrounding gum and bone are reshaped to expose its appearance. The process prepares a tooth for placement of a crown and enhances one’s smile by making the teeth appear longer and aligned.
• Enhances smile:
• Tooth extractions : Sometimes, extraction is necessary because the tooth has become so damaged or infected. In certain instances, extraction may be performed to avoid further infection or complications in the infected region. We would then discuss how the missing tooth can be replaced, either by means of a dental implant or other treatment available.
• Frenectomy and tongue tie : A frenectomy is a simple procedure to remove or reduce the tissue under the tongue (called a tongue tie) or between the gums and lips. This treatment can improve speech, eating, and even breathing, especially in children or adults with restricted tongue movement.
• Socket preservation : After the tooth is extracted, the empty socket loses some bone. We, therefore, place bone graft material in the socket to prevent this. It will enable the area to remain strong and prepared for future treatments, which could involve placing a dental implant. It will protect the jawbone and maintain your facial outline.
• Guided tissue regeneration : This treatment helps your gums and bones regrow around a tooth that has been damaged by gum disease. A special membrane is placed between the gum and bone to help the body repair the affected area. Guided tissue regeneration helps to save teeth that might otherwise be lost.
• Osseous resective surgery : In this procedure, we reshape the bone around a tooth that has been damaged by gum disease. Eliminating the infected and damaged bone of a patient will prevent further spread of bacteria and make it easier to clean the area for the teeth and gums in the future.
• Open flap debridement : Deep bacteria and tartar will be removed through open flap debridement. The gums will be lifted up to allow clear visualization of the area below the gum line. This treatment will either halt the progress or completely prevent the disease from progressing, with healthy healing around the teeth.
