What is Periodontology?
Periodontists spend at least 3 extra years in school to receive extensive training in periodontal disease, dental implants, and other specialty surgeries. We often treat more complex cases like missing teeth, gum disease, or a complex medical history. Many periodontal issues can be managed by your general dentist, but some treatments may necessitate a greater understanding and increased level of expertise by a trained specialist. We work in partnership with you and your dentist to provide the optimal treatment plan.
