Saving Teeth
Don't Give Up On Your Natural Teeth
We live in an age of incredible dental technology, and it’s easy to get excited about the prospect of dental implants. However, even with these fantastic options, your natural teeth remain the best for function and health. They have a built-in suspension system called the periodontal ligament, which provides a stronger, more comfortable bite. This stimulation also helps preserve your jawbone, preventing the sunken appearance that can happen when teeth are lost.
Why An Expert Matters
If you’re dealing with gum problems, a periodontist is a better choice than a general dentist. Think of it like this: A general practitioner can handle many health issues, but for a heart problem, you see a cardiologist. The same logic applies to your gums. As periodontists, Dr. Ovadia and Dr. Tanur have three extra years of specialized training focused exclusively on the gums, jawbone, and dental implants. This means they have the expertise to deliver the highest level of care for complex issues, from advanced gum disease to delicate grafting procedures. Their focus is on long-term solutions, not just quick fixes.
What’s more, Dr. Tanur and Dr. Ovadia are both board-certified diplomates of the American Board of Periodontology, a distinction held by only 10% of periodontists. They have a wealth of experience and expertise providing dentistry related to the gums and bone surrounding your teeth, and have helped save countless teeth.
future of dentistry. Their expertise in periodontics and implant dentistry allows them to offer patients a compassionate approach with superior clinical results.
Silent Symptoms, Serious Damage
Here’s the most important thing to remember: Gum disease often has no symptoms until it’s too late. Many people don’t realize they have a problem until they’re facing significant tooth and bone loss. Bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or slight tooth movement are all warning signs that shouldn’t be ignored. By the time you notice something is wrong, the infection may have already progressed, potentially threatening your teeth.
