The idea of gum surgery keeps many people from getting checked. North End Winnipeg residents can request an assessment at our McPhillips Street clinic and learn what their findings do and do not support.
Let's find a time
If you have been avoiding a gum check because you fear hearing the word surgery, you may be picturing the most advanced end of care first. Gum disease treatment does not have one fixed path. A plan may begin with daily-care coaching and professional cleaning, or it may call for treatment below the gumline, followed by reassessment.
We recommend only the steps your findings support. An assessment at Winnipeg North Dental does not commit you to anything, and hearing the results gives you something definite to weigh. North End Winnipeg residents can ask about each stage before deciding how to go ahead.
Explore gum disease treatment
A check gathers information. It does not lock you into any treatment.
Recommendations rest on your measurements, not on a standard package.
Ask why a step is suggested, and what else could be considered.
Care tends to move in order, with each stage informed by the one before. Here is how the early and later parts of that ladder differ.
These non-surgical steps address daily plaque, hardened deposits and, where present, pockets.
Only then might more advanced care enter the discussion, and the decision depends on what reassessment shows.
Whether surgery ever comes up for you cannot be answered from a web page. It depends on your diagnosis, how your gums heal and what your dentist finds.
No treatment needs to be decided on the spot. The steps below are about understanding your gums and hearing what the findings suggest.
Request your visitSay so if surgery is what concerns you. Next we cover what has changed, plus medical conditions, medications, tobacco use, family history and earlier care.
A slim instrument measures around each tooth, recording pockets, recession, bleeding and attachment. You can ask what each reading means.
Checks for movement and deposits, plus any suitable images, help us understand tooth support and any areas that are hard to maintain.
We show where disease is active and explain, in clear terms, which treatment and maintenance steps fit what we found, and why.
It is easier to think clearly when you have your questions written down. You are entitled to understand a recommendation before accepting it.
Timing and estimated costs can also be raised when you book. Whatever you pay will depend on the care recommended and your coverage.
A seating area with a blue bench, a rug and framed prints on the wall.
Being frightened of a possible recommendation is an understandable reason to delay. Saying it out loud at the start lets us walk through each part and answer your questions as they arise.
Ask us to describe each step before we begin it.
There is no harm in asking for time to think over a suggested plan.
Learning what is not recommended for you can be just as reassuring.
After first-stage care
Reassessment is where the decision about any further care is made, and many of the unknowns are settled at that point. Healing measurements show how your gums responded.
New figures, set against your first ones, inform whether maintenance, more care or referral is appropriate.
Your home care remains part of the plan while your gums are healing and long after.
Periodontitis usually needs long-term management, so expect a recall schedule based on your individual risk.
Still uneasy between appointments? Phone the clinic with your question, whatever stage you are at.

Helpful details about gum disease treatment in North End Winnipeg.
Ask our teamNot automatically. Care can start with home-care coaching and professional cleaning, or treatment below the gums, with surgical access being one option considered for persistent deep pockets.
The assessment’s purpose is to explain your findings and what they support. Take the time to ask questions, and tell us if you would like to think it over.
No. It is a non-surgical deep cleaning that addresses periodontal pockets and root surfaces. Ask your dentist whether it fits your findings.
Healing measurements play a large part. If pockets remain after initial treatment, further care or referral may be discussed based on your situation.
Periodontitis can continue with little discomfort, so waiting has its own uncertainty. Your dentist can explain what your particular findings could mean if left alone.
