The Okanagan Periodontal & Implant Centre is a periodontist in Kelowna that specializes in conservative and surgical treatments for gum disease and dental implants. Dr. Gary Powell is a board certified periodontist with extensive experience in reconstructing teeth and gums. He has completed three additional years of education after completing his Bachelor of Science degree. After graduating from the University of Manitoba, Dr. Powell opened his practice in 1998. He loves helping patients improve their oral health and has been practicing dentistry for nearly two decades.
Dr. Michael J. Rosenberg specializes in treating complex cases of periodontal disease, including dental implants. He is also an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of gum inflammation. Periodontal disease can be devastating, leading to loose teeth, bleeding during eating, and other symptoms. If left untreated, it can lead to gangrene, heart disease, diabetes, and osteopenia. The sooner you get your periodontal disease treated, the better.
When periodontitis is present, your periodontist will focus on curing the bacterial infection and will recommend home cleaning methods for you to follow. Deep scaling can be performed to remove bacterial plaque, tartar, and calculus from the gum tissue. If periodontal disease has progressed to the point that you can no longer brush your teeth at home, your periodontist may remove loose teeth and perform a surgery to replace them.
