Periodontists are dental professionals with advanced training in managing conditions that affect the gums and the structures supporting the teeth. They treat problems like gum inflammation, periodontitis, and bone loss, which can threaten the stability of the teeth if not addressed. Through procedures such as deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), tissue grafting, and regenerative techniques, they help restore oral health and prevent further damage. Their detailed understanding of the gums, jawbone, and connective tissues allows them to identify issues early and create treatment plans that promote long-term stability.
Many periodontists are also involved in placing dental implants and ensuring proper healing and integration with the surrounding bone. They monitor tissue response and work to create a healthy environment around both natural teeth and implants. Patients with advanced gum disease often rely on their expertise to halt progression and avoid tooth loss. These professionals often work closely with general dentists to ensure that periodontal concerns are managed with precision. With the help of modern technology such as 3D imaging and minimally invasive tools, they deliver effective care with greater comfort and efficiency. Their work supports the overall structure of the mouth, improves function, and enhances the appearance of the gums and smile.
