The Story of Our Peri­odon­tal Office

Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants was estab­lished about 15 years ago. Together, Drs. Shievitz and Romanelli strive to increase patient aware­ness about peri­odon­tal health and dis­ease, with an empha­sis on dis­ease pre­ven­tion, treat­ment and replace­ment of lost teeth by implants.

Years of expe­ri­ence prac­tic­ing peri­odon­tics has clearly demon­strated to both peri­odon­tists that many patients are entirely unaware of peri­odon­tal dis­ease and of the dan­gers and con­se­quences untreated peri­odon­tal dis­ease can have on the rest of their den­tal and gen­eral health, and den­tal treat­ment success.

This real­ity is what inspires and dri­ves our Wood­bridge peri­odon­tists to work with patients and their gen­eral den­tists to improve and main­tain peri­odon­tal (gum and bone) health, while focus­ing on pre­ven­tion to reduce the risk of future peri­odon­tal disease.

At Woodbridge/Vaughan Peri­odon­tics & Implants we also strive to pre­vent tooth loss due to peri­odon­tal dis­ease, and if pos­si­ble, replace lost teeth using den­tal implants.

Dr. Perry Shievitz

Dr. Shievitz received his under­grad­u­ate den­tal degree from the Uni­ver­sity of Toronto, and sub­se­quently his post­grad­u­ate degree in peri­odon­tics from the Uni­ver­sity of Minnesota.

As a peri­odon­tist, he focuses on the pre­ven­tion and treat­ment of peri­odon­tal dis­ease, includ­ing the place­ment of den­tal implants. His pro­fes­sional inter­ests include implant surgery, cos­metic gum surgery, regen­er­a­tive surgery and writ­ing about peri­odon­tics and implants for the gen­eral public.

Dr. Shievitz’s goals as a den­tal pro­fes­sional are sim­ple yet pro­found; through patient edu­ca­tion and indi­vid­u­al­ized care, he seeks to increase patient aware­ness about peri­odon­tal health and dis­ease. Through­out his close to 30 years of expe­ri­ence in den­tistry, Dr. Shievitz has found that many patients are sur­pris­ingly unaware of peri­odon­tal dis­ease and the dam­ag­ing effects it can have on their health and on their den­tal treat­ment. There­fore, he strives to main­tain the peri­odon­tal health of his patients through edu­ca­tion, pre­ven­tion, care and reduc­tion of their risk to future peri­odon­tal disease.

Dr. Romanelli’s goals as a den­tal pro­fes­sional include col­lab­o­rat­ing with patients in order to achieve ideal den­tal and peri­odon­tal care and to reha­bil­i­tate dis­eased teeth and gums to a healthy, func­tional, and aes­thet­i­cally pleas­ing state.
