When it comes to your oral health, choosing the right specialist is crucial. A periodontist specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants. If you're in Toronto and in need of a periodontist, this guide is designed to help you make an informed decision.

Dr. Kay was recently asked to speak to the Canadian Dental Association and to provide his input on how the dialog about periodontal disease has changed.

We live in an age where immediate solutions are the norm. With our smartphones and digital devices, we can get almost anything we want at the click of a button. This expectation for immediacy has also made its way into healthcare, including dental care.

Periodontists are dentists who receive special training to focus on treating gum disease and installing implants. In addition, they have to undergo additional training after earning a general dentistry degree. This is because they have to learn how to properly treat gums and install dental implants and often only see patients with severe issues.

My name is Dr. Andrew Kay, and I am the owner of Yonge Eglinton Periodontics, which was founded in 2004.

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new website!
