Gum Disease Treatment in Ottawa

Gum disease often starts quietly — a little bleeding when you brush, or gums that look red or pull away from your teeth. At Ledbury Dental we catch it early and treat it gently, beginning with a careful assessment of your gums and the bone that supports your teeth. There is no judgement here, just a calm, clear plan to get your gums healthy again.

For most patients, treatment means a deep cleaning called scaling and root planing, which clears bacteria and hardened tartar from below the gumline so the tissue can heal. We work in comfortable stages, numbing the area whenever needed, and then set you up with a simple maintenance schedule to keep things stable. Because gum health is closely linked to your overall health — including your heart and blood sugar — caring for your gums protects far more than your smile.

Periodontal treatment is among the services covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan for eligible patients, though deeper treatment may sometimes need pre-authorization first. We check your coverage in advance and give you a clear written estimate before we begin, so there are no surprises. If any portion is not covered, we will walk you through flexible payment options for Ottawa families.
