Gum surgery

  • Treat advanced gum disease and periodontal damage
  • Restore gum tissue and bone supporting your teeth
  • Improve oral health, function, and smile appearance

What is gum surgery?

Gum surgery, also known as periodontal surgery, includes a range of procedures used to treat advanced gum disease and repair damage affecting the gums, bone, and supporting structures around the teeth.

While some patients can treat their gums with periodontal therapy, some cases are far too advanced and needs surgical support. While many cases of gum disease can be managed with scaling and root planing, some patients require surgical intervention when infection has progressed or significant tissue loss has occurred.

The goal of periodontal surgery is to eliminate infection, reduce periodontal pockets, restore healthy gum architecture, and preserve natural teeth whenever possible.

What are the types of periodontal surgery?

At Westmount Dental, we provide several surgical procedures and gum disease treatment designed to address different stages and effects of periodontal disease.

Pocket reduction therapy

As gum disease progresses, deep pockets of gum tissue form around teeth as bacteria accumulate, advancing into and destroying the supporting bone. By reducing pocket depth, this procedure removes the disease-causing bacteria, eliminates the deep pocket, and makes tooth surfaces more smooth.

Bone regeneration

Bone regeneration procedures regenerate lost bone and tissue supporting your teeth caused by periodontal disease. Membranes and bone grafting materials are used to encourage your body’s natural ability to regenerate itself in order to strengthen the support of the tooth.

Crown lengthening

Crown lengthening reshapes excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth structure. This procedure may be recommended for gummy smiles, uneven gum lines, teeth requiring restorative treatment, teeth with decay or fractures below the gum line, or cosmetic dentistry.

Why should I get gum surgery?

When performed at the appropriate stage of treatment, periodontal surgery can provide significant oral health and functional benefits.

Stop the progression of gum disease
Improve smile appearance
Preserve natural teeth
Reduce tooth sensitivity
Restore bone and gum support

Gum disease treatment

Our Services

Gum disease treatment

  • Treat gingivitis and periodontitis before they progress
  • Protect the gums, bone, and tissues supporting your teeth
  • Personalized periodontal disease treatment plans for long term oral health

What is gum disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection that affects the gums, ligaments, and bone supporting your teeth.

The earliest stage is known as gingivitis, which causes red, swollen, and bleeding gums. At this stage, the condition is often reversible with professional care and improved oral hygiene.

If left untreated, gingivitis can progress into periodontitis, a more advanced condition that damages the bone and tissues supporting the teeth. As the disease advances, pockets form around the teeth where bacteria accumulate, increasing the risk of tooth loss and other oral health complications. At this stage, periodontal surgery would be needed.

When do I need gum disease treatment?

Periodontal treatments are based on the severity of the disease, your oral health history, and your individual risk factors. Here are some signs and symptoms that will tell you when it’s time for gum disease treatment.

Red, swollen, or tender gums
Bleeding when brushing or flossing
Receding gums
Persistent bad breath
Loose teeth or changes in bite
Food trapping between teeth

Gum disease treatment process

Our periodontal disease treatment process is designed to eliminate infection, reduce inflammation, and protect your teeth.

Comprehensive examination

We evaluate your gums, measure periodontal pockets, and assess bone support around your teeth. Based on your condition, we develop a personalized gum disease treatment plan.

Scaling and root planing

This non-surgical periodontal treatment removes bacterial buildup beneath the gums and smooths the surface of the tooth. After scaling and root planing is performed many patients do not require any further active treatment. 

Adjunctive gum disease therapy

Depending on the severity of the infection, additional gum disease therapy may include oral hygiene instruction and antibiotics to control bacteria and support long-term gum health.

Ongoing gum health maintenance

We monitor healing and assess the effectiveness of treatment. Regular maintenance appointments help prevent disease recurrence and support long-term health.

Ready to improve your gum health?

Early periodontal disease treatment can help prevent gum disease from progressing and protect your long-term oral health.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Our Services

Wisdom teeth removal

  • Prevent wisdom tooth complications before they worsen
  • Relieve pain, swelling, and infection caused by impacted teeth
  • Comfortable treatment options, including Nitrous Oxide sedation

Wisdom teeth removal at a glance

What is wisdom teeth removal?

Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that typically develop between the ages of 18 and 24. While some people have enough room in their mouths for wisdom teeth to erupt normally, many do not.

Because wisdom teeth are located at the very back of the mouth, they are often harder to maintain and may be more likely to develop dental problems than other teeth.

Signs you may need a wisdom tooth extraction

While some wisdom teeth remain symptom-free, others can cause noticeable problems. Here are some signs and symptoms that you may need a wisdom tooth extraction.

Pain at the back of the mouth
Jaw discomfort or pressure
Swollen or tender gums
Frequent infections around wisdom teeth
Difficulty opening the mouth fully
Bad breath or unpleasant taste
Tooth crowding or shifting

Why should I get a wisdom teeth removal?

Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. However, extraction is often recommended when wisdom teeth are likely to cause problems now or in the future.

Increased risk of tooth decay

Partially erupted wisdom teeth can be difficult to brush and floss, increasing the risk of cavities.

Risk of gum disease and infection

Food particles and bacteria can become trapped around wisdom teeth, leading to inflammation, infection, and gum disease.

Development of cysts

In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth can contribute to cyst formation, which may affect surrounding bone and teeth.

Whether you’re experiencing discomfort or want to evaluate your wisdom teeth before problems develop, we’re here to help.

Digital Impressions with iTero

our technology

Digital impressions with iTero

  • Fast, accurate scans completed in minutes
  • Improved fit for restorations and orthodontic appliances
  • No need for traditional impression materials or trays

What is an iTero scanner?

An iTero scanner produces digital impressions that are detailed 3D scans of your teeth and gums that allow our team to plan and create dental restorations and orthodontic treatments with precision.

Using the iTero scanner, we capture thousands of images of your mouth and combine them into a complete digital model that can be viewed immediately on-screen. iTero is commonly used for dental crowns, dental bridges, Invisalign treatment, orthodontic appliances, treatment planning and monitoring

What is the benefit of iTero?

Providing digital impression procedures with the iTero scanner provides consistent results and other benefits for the dentist, patient and dental laboratory.

Faster treatment with greater accuracy

The iTero scanner captures the surface and contours of the tooth and gums often in less time than it takes for impression material to set, reducing treatment time for you as a patient. The unmatched precision of the iTero digital impressions provides crowns, bridges and Invisalign aligners that require minimal adjustment and an accurate fit, an other source of predictable time savings for patients.

See your smile in real time with iTero

One of the biggest advantages of iTero is the ability to view your teeth immediately during your appointment. The scanner creates a highly detailed 3D image that can be rotated and viewed from a full 360 degree angle, allowing both you and your dentist to better understand your oral health and treatment options.

Improved communication with dental clinic

The data files of iTero are then sent electronically to our dental laboratories, enhancing the speed of fabrication of dental restorations and orthodontic aligners.

iTero provides a more comfortable patient experience

With iTero, patients become engaged in the process as they see their teeth and dental work on-screen. This provides our Doctors with an excellent educational tool that helps patients understand the nature of their treatment.

Supporting sustainable dentistry

iTero conserves resources and preserves our environment. It eliminates the need for materials that generate waste when compared to conventional impression materials.

Working with Magnification

our technology

Dental magnification

  • Earlier detection of dental problems
  • More precise and conservative dental treatment
  • Improved long-term oral health outcomes

What is dental magnification?

Dental magnification uses specialized optical technology to enlarge the structures inside your mouth far beyond what can be seen with the naked eye.

By combining dental digital radiography, intra-oral photography, and magnification technology, our dentists can closely examine your teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues to identify concerns that may otherwise go unnoticed during a conventional examination.

What are the benefits of dental magnification?

By using dental magnification as part of your examination and treatment, we can identify concerns earlier and provide more conservative and predictable care. Here are some benefits of dental magnification.

Earlier detection of dental problems

With advanced dental magnification, our team can identify, early tooth decay, small fractures or cracks, defective restorations, early-stage dental lesions, areas of wear or erosion, changes in gum health. Detecting these issues earlier often allows for simpler and less invasive treatment options.

Magnification beyond the naked eye

Using dental loupes and digital imaging technology, our dentists can magnify treatment areas several times beyond their actual size for significantly improved visibility.

Our digital imaging systems can enlarge structures up to 40 times their original size, allowing our team to identify microscopic details that may otherwise remain undetected.

More precise and conservative treatment

One of the greatest advantages of dental magnification is the ability to perform treatment with exceptional accuracy. Dental magnification improves nearly every aspect of modern dentistry, from diagnosis and treatment planning to restorative procedures and preventive care.

Dental Digital Radiography

Our Services

Dental digital radiography

  • Significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays
  • Immediate chairside images for faster diagnosis
  • Clear, detailed imaging that improves treatment planning

What is dental digital radiography?

Dental digital radiography is an advanced imaging technology that captures highly detailed images of your teeth, jaw, roots, and surrounding structures using digital sensors instead of traditional film.

Images are displayed immediately on a computer screen beside your chair, allowing your dentist to review findings and discuss treatment recommendations during your appointment.

What are the benefits of dental digital radiography?

In addition to the environmental benefits of digital radiography, improved efficiency, improved patient communication, and improved patient care are only a few of the most obvious reasons why Westmount Dental uses digital instead of film-based imaging.

Lower radiation exposure with dental digital radiography

Radiographs are integral in the detection of diseases and cancer in hard and soft tissue. Digital radiographs use up to several times less radiation than conventional radiographs, allowing us to take the necessary number of diagnostic images while exposing you to as little radiation as possible.

To place this into perspective, a single conventional (film) radiograph exposes a patient to the same amount of background radiation that we are all exposed to within a 10-day period. At Westmount Dental, the equivalent dose would be several digital radiographs. It is interesting to note that we take, on average, four to six radiographs per patient every 12-18 months.

Immediate images and faster diagnosis

Unlike traditional film X-rays that require processing time, dental digital radiography provides images instantly.

The images appear immediately on the screen beside your chair, allowing your dentist to review findings in real time, diagnose concerns more efficiently, explain treatment recommendations more clearly, and begin treatment planning sooner.

Better communication and patient education

One of the major benefits of dental digital radiography is improved patient communication.

Large, high-resolution images displayed chairside allow patients to see exactly what their dentist sees, making it easier to understand diagnoses and treatment recommendations.

Environmentally friendly dentistry

In an effort to conserve resources and preserve our environment, we use digital radiography as it does not generate waste or polluting agents when compared to conventional radiographs.

Some patients experience temporary sensitivity, but our whitening systems include ingredients like Potassium Nitrate that help minimize discomfort.

Both options are effective. In-clinic whitening provides faster results, while at home teeth whitening offers greater flexibility and convenience.

No. Whitening treatments only affect natural teeth and will not change the colour of dental crowns, dental veneers, dental bonding, or fillings. If you are thinking of other cosmetic improvements, such as crowns, porcelain veneers, or replacing old discoloured fillings, it may be worth considering whitening your teeth first.

Root Canal Treatment

Our Services

Root canal treatment

  • Save infected or damaged teeth and avoid extraction
  • Relieve pain, swelling, and sensitivity caused by nerve infection
  • Comfortable root canal procedures performed with modern techniques

What is a root canal treatment?

A root canal treatment is a procedure used to save a tooth when the nerve and pulp inside the tooth become infected, inflamed, or severely damaged. Inside every tooth are small channels called root canals that contain nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When bacteria enter these canals through deep decay, cracks, trauma, or injury, the nerve may no longer be able to heal itself.

Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue, disinfects the canals, and seals the inside of the tooth to prevent future infection. In many cases, root canal treatment allows patients to keep their natural tooth for many years while eliminating pain and restoring function.

When do I need a root canal treatment?

There are several symptoms that may indicate damage or infection inside a tooth.

Persistent tooth sensitivity
Spontaneous tooth pain
Swelling around the tooth
Throbbing or aching tooth
Deep tooth decay
Dental trauma
wisdom tooth removal

Why should I get a root canal treatment?

Our dentists carefully evaluate the condition of the affected tooth using digital imaging and clinical examination to determine whether root canal treatment is the best treatment option.

Remove infection at the source

Root canal treatment eliminates infection from inside the tooth. During treatment, the infected nerve tissue and bacteria are removed, and the canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before being sealed.

Save your natural tooth

One of the biggest advantages of root canal treatment is that it allows many patients to keep a tooth that would otherwise require extraction. Maintaining your natural tooth helps preserve chewing function, bite alignment, jawbone health, and overall oral stability.

Modern root canal procedures are comfortable

With advanced, modern techniques and effective anesthesia, most patients find that a root canal procedure feels similar to receiving a dental filling.

Efficient treatment with reliable outcomes

Many root canal treatments can be completed in a single appointment, often within about an hour, depending on the complexity of the case.
