Periodontal Services

A periodontist is a dental specialist trained to care for your gums and the bone that supports your teeth. After finishing dental school, a periodontist goes through three more years of advanced training to learn how to treat gum disease and place dental implants. This extra education gives them the skills to handle more complex dental problems and provide care that goes beyond what a general dentist typically offers.

One of the main things a periodontist treats is gum disease. Gum disease can cause swelling, bleeding, bad breath, and eventually tooth loss if it’s not treated. A periodontist can help stop the infection, clean deep below the gums, and even rebuild areas where gum or bone has been damaged. Their goal is to save your natural teeth whenever possible and keep your mouth healthy for the long term.

Periodontists are also trained to perform advanced procedures like bone grafting, gum grafting, and placing dental implants to replace missing teeth. Many periodontists use modern technology, such as 3D imaging, digital scanners, and minimally invasive tools, to plan and perform treatment with greater accuracy and comfort. These advanced techniques help improve healing, shorten recovery time, and lead to better results for patients.
