Quick answer
Periodontal treatment cleans and repairs the gums and bone that hold your teeth. For periodontitis, most people start with a deep cleaning called scaling and root planing. Deep pockets that stay after that may need flap surgery. Receding gums may need a connective tissue graft. Regular maintenance visits keep the results. New to gum problems? Our gum health care guide covers the signs, stages, causes and home care.
Gum-health screening, pocket-depth measurements, X-rays when needed, scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance, flap surgery where available, connective tissue grafting where available, and referral if specialist care is required.
Patients with deep gum pockets, tartar below the gumline, gum recession or loose teeth. It also helps anyone with a history of gum disease who needs regular follow-up care.
The team checks your gum tissue, measures your gum pockets and reviews your X-rays. Then your dentist explains what fits your gums. The options are preventive care, a deep cleaning, maintenance visits, surgery, grafting or a referral. You hear the timing and the expected cost before any treatment begins. There is no pressure.
Periodontics is the area of dentistry that treats the gums and the bone supporting your teeth. It covers gum disease, gum recession and the surgery that repairs them. Periodontics is a recognized dental specialty. A periodontist is a dentist with extra years of training in the gums. General dentists also provide periodontal treatment, such as deep cleaning and maintenance. Your dentist explains whether the clinic can provide your care or whether a periodontist is the better step. A referral may be recommended for complex cases.
Your cost depends on the treatment and how many teeth or visits it involves. Scaling and root planing is billed in 15-minute units. A typical Ontario market rate is about $60 to $75 per unit before coverage. That is a general range, not our fee. Our gum health care page explains how units add up. We explain the expected cost before treatment begins. That estimate is the number to plan around. Grimsby Lake Dental accepts CDCP and bills the plan directly for eligible treatments. CDCP covers cleaning under the gumline and non-surgical gum disease management. Under the CDCP Dental Benefits Guide, adults 17 and over get up to 4 units of scaling and root planing in 12 months with no preauthorization. More units need preauthorization, and gum surgery is not on the list of covered periodontal services.
Grimsby Lake Dental offers clear explanations and practical treatment guidance. Our clinic is at 414 Winston Road in Grimsby, near Lake Ontario and the QEW. We are open Monday to Saturday and parking on site is free. New patients are welcome. We help eligible patients understand how CDCP applies before treatment begins.
