Periodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease as well as the process of replacing teeth with dental implants. Periodontists receive up to three years of additional, specialized training in treating periodontal disease and other conditions.

During your first visit, you will be introduced to our friendly staff and provided with additional information about our practice, our qualified periodontists, and the services we provide. At the initial consultation, we want to learn more about you and the dental issues you have been experiencing so we can better understand how to best help you. By doing so, we can create a treatment plan that works best for you, your lifestyle, and the desired results you want to see.

If your teeth have started to appear longer or you are suffering from persistent bad breath, you may be suffering from periodontal disease, otherwise known as gum disease. Gum disease is the most common cause of gum recession and a variety of factors can contribute to its development. Things like your genetic makeup, tobacco use, diabetes and other illnesses as well as poor oral hygiene can all result in gum disease.
