Learn about our specialties and what a periodontist can do for you.
What is periodontics?
Periodontics is the dental specialty that focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases of the gums and surrounding tissues. Its goal is to maintain oral health from the root.
What is the difference between a periodontist and a dentist?
A general dentist can treat cavities, cleanings, and basic treatments, while a periodontist is a specialist who focuses exclusively on gums, bone, and supporting tooth structures. The two work together, but a periodontist treats more complex problems.
What does a periodontist do?
A periodontist evaluates and treats periodontal disease, performs gum surgery, applies bone or gum grafts, and places dental implants. They are the specialists indicated for treating gum problems and dental bone loss.
What diseases does periodontics treat?
Periodontics treats conditions such as gingivitis, periodontitis, gum recession, bone loss, periodontal pockets, tooth mobility, and other disorders that affect tooth support.
When should I see a gum specialist?
You should see a periodontist if you have swollen gums, bleeding when brushing, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, or bone loss on X-rays. You should also see a periodontist if you have a family history of periodontal disease.
What is periodontal treatment?
It's a set of procedures that includes deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), periodontal surgery, grafting, or maintenance. It aims to eliminate bacteria, reduce inflammation, and restore affected tissue.
What benefits do periodontics and implantology offer?
Combining periodontics and implantology allows for restoring gum health and replacing missing teeth functionally and aesthetically, all in a single, comprehensive treatment plan.
How do I know if I need a gum graft?
If you have receding gums, exposed tooth roots, sensitive teeth, or cosmetic problems with your smile, you may need a gum graft to cover the affected areas and protect your teeth.
How much does periodontal treatment cost?
The price varies depending on the severity of the case, the type of treatment required (deep cleaning, surgery, grafting, etc.), and the technology used. It's best to consult a specialist for an evaluation.
Is periodontics painful or invasive?
Most periodontal treatments are performed under local anesthesia and are minimally invasive. Thanks to current technology, discomfort is minimal and the recovery process is rapid.
