Healthy gums enhance the appearance of your teeth, like a frame around a beautiful painting. Unhealthy gums not only affect your ability to chew and speak, they may also affect your overall health and spoil your smile. Dental implant are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel and function like natural teeth. Implants are often the treatment of choice when a tooth is lost.
When selecting a periodontal practice, be sure that the periodontist is Board Certified. This means that the doctor has made a significant commitment to being an expert in their field and have passed extensive testing by their peers. Always ask, because fewer than half of the periodontists are board certified. Hospitals require Board Certification for staffing. You should demand the same standards.
We are proud of our commitment and intention to help our patients avoid surgery. By offering a unique, advanced approach called Extended Non-surgical Treatment, we can help the majority of our patients with periodontal disease to avoid surgery and the outcome is often better and less costly. Ask us about Extended Non-Surgical Treatment. We also use the Perioscope, (dental endoscope), to provide an alternative to conventional gum surgery for many patients. When scaling and root planing is not adequate, this advanced technology allows for a minimally invasive approach to treatment of gum disease.
