REQUEST AN Searching for a periodontist near me? Dr. Mo Omar at Strathcona Dental Choice treats gum disease and helps protect your teeth for the long term, from soft tissue grafts to guided tissue regeneration, right in Old Strathcona.
Dr. Mo Omar came a long way to specialize in periodontics, over 10,000 km from Cairo to Edmonton. Alongside three years of clinical training, he spent three more years researching the genetic links between gum disease and heart disease, becoming the first PhD in Periodontology at the University of Alberta.
Along the way, he also completed a postgraduate program in oral cancer at the University of Dundee in Scotland. In the chair, Dr. Omar draws on both surgical and non-surgical techniques to help patients keep their natural teeth as long as possible, and to replace them with implants when needed. He also has a particular interest in helping patients achieve healthy, natural-looking gums through soft tissue grafts, and he genuinely enjoys explaining the "why" behind your treatment along the way.

Periodontal treatment focuses on preventing and treating gum disease (periodontitis), which starts when plaque buildup inflames and infects gum tissue. Left untreated, it can damage the bone supporting your teeth and eventually lead to tooth loss.
Our periodontal services are designed to repair existing damage, stop the disease from progressing, and help you maintain healthy gums for the long term.
Dr. Omar tailors periodontal care to your specific needs, using the treatments listed on our site below.
Repairs receding or damaged gums by transplanting healthy tissue, protecting tooth roots and limiting further gum loss.
Reshapes gum and bone tissue to expose more tooth surface, often to prepare for a crown or improve smile aesthetics.
When a tooth is too damaged or infected to save, we offer gentle extractions plus replacement options like implants.
A minor procedure to reduce a restrictive frenulum, improving speech, eating, and comfort for children or adults.
After an extraction, bone graft material is placed in the socket to prevent bone loss and prepare for a future implant.
Encourages bone and gum tissue regrowth around teeth damaged by gum disease using a protective barrier membrane.
Reshapes damaged bone to eliminate infection and support long-term gum health, making future cleaning easier.
A deep clean beneath the gum line, lifting the gums to remove bacteria and tartar and stop disease progression.
Your comfort and well-being are always the top priority.
Committed to delivering excellent periodontal care every visit.
Advanced tools and techniques used for optimal results.
Extensive experience treating many forms of gum disease.
Early signs include red, swollen, or tender gums that bleed easily when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, and gums that pull away from teeth or make them feel loose.
Periodontal treatment removes harmful plaque and bacteria, stops infection, and restores gum and bone health, helping keep teeth firmly in place and preventing tooth loss.
Yes. If caught early, gum disease can often be reversed with proper cleaning and care. Once bone loss has occurred, treatment can manage but not fully reverse the damage.
After treatment, periodontal maintenance checkups are usually recommended every 3 to 4 months, depending on your gum health, risk factors, and oral care routine.
