A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in treating gums and bones in the mouth responsible for supporting teeth. Periodontists are also trained to identify, treat and prevent severe forms of gum disease. Unlike a general dentist, a periodontist goes through three additional years of dental school before being certified. Gum disease is an infection of the gums which causes inflammation and swelling. At our dental clinic, we have professional periodontists who can restore your beautiful smile and improve your oral health.How Do Periodontists Help Their Patients?
Our team of periodontists carries out dental exams to assess the health of your teeth and gums. If there are symptoms of gum disease, they can provide treatment through a dental plan. Many people experience tooth loss as a result of gum disease. A periodontist can perform oral surgery like placing, repairing, and maintaining dental implants to replace the lost teeth. We also perform scaling and rooting to remove plaque and other types of buildup on the tooth’s surface.
When a patient’s gums pull back, exposing the tooth’s roots, then we may perform a gum graft to prevent the tooth from falling out. In case of damage to the jaw because of injury, we can also perform a set of surgeries to restore your smile and jaw bone structure. If our patients have other dental issues, we periodontists can advise on the best lifestyle changes to improve or maintain proper oral hygiene like flossing and brushing teeth twice a day. we also prescribe medication like painkillers to ease any discomfort and oral mouthwash to kill bacteria.
At our clinic, our team of periodontists will do all they can to restore your beautiful smile by planning the best treatment for your dental condition. If you want a consultation with any of our professional and friendly periodontists, please schedule an appointment with us by calling us today.
