I'm looking for advice about periodontal treatment. I have widespread gum recession and bone loss (5 to 6mm pockets, although my periodontist is putting me on extensive SRP to reduce pocket depth and to "seal up" the gums to keep bacteria out). I live in Vancouver, Canada and the periodontist I'm seeing says he is not able to do guided tissue regeneration (e.g. bone augmentation) for the widespread bone loss that I have. Fortunately, I have large teeth and roots but the bone level is getting low. My teeth are not loose yet but I need to take action now. I'm looking for a 2nd opinion and I'm looking for a better periodontist who can do the bone augmentation to provide more support for my teeth. I was wondering if you could point me to periodontists in western Canada or in the northwestern U.S. who are experts in bone augmentation, bone grafting for teeth, or even gum/bone regeneration in teeth. Ideally, I'd like to see such an expert who is close to Vancouver, e.g. Washington state, Oregon state, or western Canada. But I could even fly out to other parts of Canada or the USA to see such an expert. Do you have any suggestions about some experts or treatement in this field for my situation? Thanks for your help</P>
