Periodontal Surgeons treat the gums, bones, and supporting tissues of the teeth, specializing in managing advanced gum diseases such as periodontitis. If left untreated, these diseases can lead to tooth loss, which is why these specialists focus on restoring gum health and preventing further damage. They perform various surgical procedures, including gum grafts, bone regeneration, and pocket reduction surgeries, to help restore both the appearance and functionality of the gums, ensuring a stable foundation for the teeth.
Periodontal surgeons are also essential when it comes to ensuring that patients are ready for dental implants. They assess the health of the gums and jawbone, making sure they are in optimal condition to support implants, which require a stable, healthy foundation. Working alongside general dentists and other specialists, periodontal surgeons offer comprehensive care tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Their expertise helps improve both the functionality of the mouth and the aesthetics of the smile, giving patients the ability to enjoy enhanced oral health and a confident smile. They provide patients with guidance on maintaining gum health through proper oral hygiene practices. By addressing gum issues early on, periodontal surgeons prevent the need for more invasive treatments in the future, ensuring that patients can maintain a healthy, functional smile for years to come.
