Periodontics in Burnaby

Referrals to Periodontic Specialists

When periodontal disease threatens the health and strength of your teeth, ACU Dental & Orthodontics can provide referrals to a trusted specialist. Periodontists are dentists who have additional training in periodontal treatment, which deals with the supportive structures around the teeth, including the gums and the jawbone.

Care for the Supportive Structures Around Your Teeth

The soft and hard tissues under and around your teeth offer important support to the teeth, allowing you to bite through tough foods and chew thoroughly. When these structures are compromised, tooth damage and tooth loss become more likely. Periodontal care—whether a single procedure or regular appointments and cleanings—can help prevent these issues from occurring or becoming worse.

Treatment for Gum Disease

Periodontal (gum) disease can have a lasting and significant impact on your oral health. When gum disease becomes serious, periodontal treatment with a specialist can provide relief from pain and symptoms and protection for the teeth. If you’re affected by gum disease, see our dentists to learn more about periodontal care.
