What is a Periodontist?
What Makes a Periodontist Different?
When your oral health concerns extend beyond routine dental care, a periodontist provides specialized expertise. They are dentists who have undergone extensive additional training – a master’s degree and three years of focused study beyond dental school – to become specialists in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease, oral inflammation, and the placement of dental implants.
This specialization means they possess in-depth knowledge of the intricate relationship between your gums, jawbone, and overall dental health. Visiting a periodontist for procedures such as gum disease treatment, gum recession therapy, and dental implant placement ensures you receive the highest standard of care and customized solutions for a healthy, lasting smile.
