Periodontal diseases, commonly acknowledged as gum diseases, encompass a spectrum of conditions that exert influence upon the gums and the intricate framework that encircles your teeth. They can range from mild gum inflammation to more serious stages that might even lead to tooth loss. The main problem is the buildup of plaque, a sticky layer of bacteria on your teeth and gums. If this plaque isn’t taken care of, it can harm your gums and the bones underneath.
To take care of your gums, there are two important things: preventing issues and catching them early. By keeping up with good oral hygiene, visiting the dentist regularly, and getting professional cleanings, you can help stop these problems from happening or catch them before they get worse. If you do have gum issues, getting them treated promptly not only helps your gums get better, but also lays the groundwork for better overall dental health.

Oral-Hygiene Instruction and Advice:
Preventing and managing gum disease starts with proper oral hygiene practices. Start your journey to healthier gums with expert guidance on brushing, flossing, and home care. Our team will show you the ropes to keep your smile gleaming.
Professional Deep Cleaning:
Effective treatment of gum disease often involves a thorough professional cleaning. Our experienced hygienists perform meticulous scaling and root planing to remove subgingival plaque and calculus. This essential step paves the way for gum healing.
Antibiotic Therapy:
In select cases, targeted antibiotic treatment is prescribed to combat specific bacterial strains contributing to gum disease. This adjunctive therapy enhances the effectiveness of our comprehensive approach.
Reassessment:
Periodontal health is an ongoing journey, and regular reassessment is crucial to monitor progress. We closely monitor your progress, assessing the response to treatments and making necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results in your gum health journey.
Corrective Surgical Therapy:
In advanced cases of gum disease, surgical intervention may be required to restore gum health. Our skilled periodontal surgeons execute tailored surgical interventions, such as pocket reduction and gum grafting, to restore periodontal health.
Periodontal Regenerative Therapy:
As part of the regenerative approach, we offer soft tissue grafting. This procedure involves carefully placing a small amount of healthy tissue, often from the roof of your mouth, over exposed tooth roots. By doing so, we not only prevent further gum recession and root exposure but also improve the aesthetics of your smile.
Peter Milanovic2024-07-28Dr. Liu is an expert periodontist. My gums were in terrible condition and I was told by numerous other professionals that they were unrecoverable. After treatment with Dr. Liu for 1 year my gums are in great condition. Looking at photos of my gums from 1 year ago to now, I am in shock. I highly recommend Dr. Liu for anyone with gingivitis or gum disease. This can't obviously be cured but you can stay on top of it so it doesn't get any worse. Big thank you to the Gum & Dental Implant Centre!!George Williamson2024-07-27Grateful for the excellent services provided by Dr Leo and his team - much appreciated!!Charlie2024-07-26Happy to receive treatment from a world class periodontist!Malcolm Bedford2024-05-31I have been seeing Dr Leo for at least 18 months. I had a very bad gum infection, lost three teeth and needed a grafted bone implant before I could go ahead with porcelain teeth implants to replace the three teeth I lost. My experience with Dr Leo was that I felt safe and confident in his care. He is very professional as well as caring. Dr Leo’s facility is spotlessly clean and he is thorough. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and trust his judgement and advice completely. Lynette BedfordLorraine2024-04-30I was referred to Dr Leo Liu for my implant. No need to be nervous because Dr Leo is a real gentleman. He is kind and caring and incredibly professional in his work. He carefully explains each step of the procedures. Infection control is spot on. The implant went well without the slightest pain. Dr Leo’s offsider, and receptionist Kelvin, is also very very caring and knowledgeable in every step of the treatment.

Common symptoms include red, swollen, bleeding gums, chronic foul breath, and gum recession. You must obtain dental assessment and treatment if you have any symptoms.
Gingivitis (early stage with minor inflammation) evolves into periodontitis (advanced stage with potential tooth and bone loss). The importance of early identification and action in avoiding progression must be considered.
While gum disease is not immediately contagious, the bacteria that cause it can be spread by saliva. Good oral hygiene practices, on the other hand, can lower the likelihood of transmission.
Yes, gum disease can develop in youngsters, primarily if adequate dental hygiene is not maintained. Teaching children appropriate oral practices from an early age might help them avoid gum disease.
