Dr. Mansur Roy

As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Periodontics & Implant Surgery, Dr. Mansur Roy addresses specific and often complex oral health conditions such as:

Peri Implantitis Mucositis

• Inflammation or Infection Around Dental Implants (Peri-Implant Mucositis/Peri-Implantitis): Signs of gum inflammation (redness, swelling, bleeding) around a dental implant (peri-implant mucositis), or more advanced infection involving bone loss around the implant (peri-implantitis), requiring prompt specialist care.

Periodontal Gum Disease Advanced

• Moderate to Severe Periodontitis (Gum Disease with Bone Loss): Advanced gum disease characterized by significant inflammation, deep periodontal pockets (spaces between teeth and gums), considerable loss of the bone supporting the teeth, gum recession, and potentially loose or shifting teeth, requiring specialist periodontal treatment to control the infection and prevent tooth loss.
• Aggressive Forms of Periodontitis: Seeking a periodontist for diagnosis and treatment of unusually severe or fast-moving gum disease.

Dental Implant Complications

• Complications with Existing Dental Implants (e.g., Peri-implantitis, Loosening, Fracture): Experiencing issues such as persistent inflammation, infection (peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis), bone loss, pain, or mobility around existing dental implants, or problems with the implant crown or prosthesis (e.g., loosening, fracture), requiring specialist evaluation and treatment by a periodontist, prosthodontist, or oral surgeon.

Severe Gingivitis

• Severe or Persistent Gingivitis Unresponsive to Routine Care: Significant gum inflammation, bleeding, and discomfort that does not resolve with regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, potentially indicating a more aggressive form of gingivitis or early signs of periodontitis requiring specialist assessment.

This list offers some examples of conditions commonly addressed. A comprehensive diagnosis is always based on an individual assessment by Dr. Roy. If your specific oral health concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic to discuss your needs and appropriate treatment options.

• Comprehensive Periodontal Examination & Diagnosis: Specialist evaluation to determine the extent and severity of periodontal disease and create a tailored treatment plan.
• Surgical Periodontal Treatments (e.g., Pocket Reduction, Regenerative Procedures): Surgical interventions to access and clean deep periodontal pockets, repair damaged bone, and improve the long-term prognosis of teeth affected by advanced gum disease.
• Digital X-rays & Radiography (Intraoral & Extraoral): Utilizing advanced digital X-ray technology (e.g., bitewings, periapicals, panoramic X-rays) for safe and precise diagnosis of dental conditions.
• Oral Cancer Screening: Vigilant screening for oral cancer, a critical component of maintaining your overall health.
• Understanding Your Dental Treatment Plan: Ensuring you fully understand your dental care plan and have all your questions answered before proceeding with any treatment, fostering informed consent.

• Patients presenting with needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment under Dr. Roy's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Managing wanting to explore options to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution like a dental implant effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Roy and the dental team. The clear aim is always a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Through Dr. Roy's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention often find they can readily achieve their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Roy to see patients who were troubled by needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain successfully achieve the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Roy will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Roy?

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Roy for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Perio Dental.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Roy at Perio Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Roy and the team at Perio Dental will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Roy will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In BC, provincial health plans (like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Perio Dental.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Roy for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Roy will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr. Roy's specific recommendation.
