Periodontics is
a dental specialty which concentrates on the treatment of periodontal
disease, cosmetic procedures to enhance your smile, and placement
of dental implants. A periodontist is a dental specialist who
has additional years of advanced studies in the area of periodontics
and received a certificate and/or Masters Degree from an accredited
school.
If you have been referred to our office by your general
dentist, it is likely that your oral health has progressed
to a point where you need specialty care.
You will be surprised at how ordinary your first visit will
be. The periodontist will examine your entire mouth and recommend
an individualized treatment plan. We want you to be completely
informed of all treatment options before proceeding with
care. We work closely with your general dentist to help maintain
your oral health for a lifetime. Just think of the alternative
- losing your teeth to gum disease.
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact
us by phone or e-mail us. The longer you wait, the more difficult
treatment may be. |
