A periodontist is a dental care provider who is specially trained to work with your dentist in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease and in the placement, maintenance and repair of dental implants.
Our philosophy is to follow conservative treatment protocols and help our patients maintain their natural teeth as long as possible.
In the initial stages, periodontal disease can be managed conservatively and nonsurgically. In advanced stages, a surgical option may become more practical in stopping periodontal disease.
For each case, there could be more than one treatment option available, and there can be many treatment phases to reach the end result. In our office, we make sure to:
- Allow time for our patients to understand their best treatment options, review details and answer any questions in a meeting room with our periodontist immediately after their initial clinical examination.
- Offer a careful evaluation of each patient’s individual needs and concerns.
- Customize a treatment plan for each patient.
- Work diligently with patients to maximize their home care routines.
- Follow up with patients after treatment to maintain the achieved results.
