Periodontal diseases are the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Periodontics is the dental specialty concerned with the care of the gums and bone which support our teeth. Good oral hygiene and routine professional cleanings can often prevent periodontal diseases. However, a variety of circumstances may cause conditions requiring specialized periodontal care.

A periodontist is skilled in treating a wide range of gum and bone diseases. The periodontist will work with you and your general dentist to improve the health of your mouth and prevent the recurrence of periodontal disease.

Periodontists are skilled in treatment planning and surgical placement of dental implants and can answer all your questions in regard to restoring lost teeth with implant dentistry.

Periodontics is an important dental specialty that can improve your life significantly. We know that many people enter our office without any first-hand knowledge of periodontal care.

We believe you should have as much information as you desire about any aspect of your treatment. Please call us with any questions you may have about procedures, home dental care, billing, or insurance matters. We will always be happy to help you.
