What is a Periodontist?
A Periodontist is a dentist who has specialized in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases affecting the supporting structures of teeth including gums and bone. A Periodontist has extensive training in dental implant treatment planning and surgery. He or she has had an additional 2-3 years of training after dental school in the evaluation and treatment of periodontal and peri-implant disease. He or she performs both surgical and non-surgical procedures.
What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial driven disease that affects the gum and bone that support the teeth. It is also known as "gum disease." Periodontal treatment limits the damage of the disease and keeps your mouth healthier. In the early stages of periodontal disease there are usually no symptoms. This "silent" disease damages the gums, and leads to bone loss around the teeth. Without treatment, it will only get worse and will eventually lead to tooth loss.
Our practice philosophy is grounded in the belief that optimal oral health can best be achieved by establishing and nurturing a partnership between practitioner and patient. By combining our expertise with your commitment and cooperation, we can work together to restore the quality of your oral health.
