What is a Periodontist
Report
A periodontist is a dentist whose focus involves the foundation of the teeth: gums and bone. The origin is Greek and translates to "peri" meaning around and "odontos" meaning teeth. Training to be a specialist in periodontics requires three years of additional education beyond dental school. Periodontists are skilled in preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases involving these key components.
What to Expect
Report
During your initial visit, we'll review your medical and dental history to be informed of any circumstances which may affect treatment. In the exam, we'll measure your "pocket depth", determine your risk for further loss of support, check for any loose teeth, and examine any contributing factors. Your referring doctor will typically forward x-rays or other information relevant.
Dental Implants
Report
For patients who are missing one or more teeth, dental implants are an ideal solution. A dental implant is a titanium post that is implanted into the jawbone to serve as an anchor for a porcelain crown (replacement tooth). Unlike bridges or dentures, dental implants connect to your jawbone in a similar way to your natural tooth.
Sinus Augmentation
Report
The maxillary sinuses are hollow cavities at the roof of the upper jawbone, close to where the roots of the upper teeth end. If a patient's upper teeth are missing, the bone separating the maxillary sinuses from the teeth often isn't substantial enough to place implants. The bone may also be insubstantial due to disease.
