Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery

Gum health is a pivotal aspect of overall dental wellness, often requiring the specialized knowledge of a periodontist. At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we are dedicated to providing top-tier care in periodontics, ensuring our patients receive the best possible treatment for their gum health needs. This post guides you through the important considerations when choosing a periodontist, helping you make an informed decision that benefits your long-term oral health.

Understanding the Role of a Periodontist

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants. They also focus on treating oral inflammation and are trained extensively in these areas through additional years of schooling beyond dental school.

What Sets Periodontists Apart?

  • Specialized training. After completing dental school, periodontists receive up to three additional years of education in periodontal disease treatment in both non-surgical treatments and periodontal plastic surgery procedures.
  • Expertise in implants. They are also experts in the placement and maintenance of dental implants.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Periodontist

  • Board certification. Ensure the periodontist is certified by the American Board of Periodontology. This indicates they have passed rigorous assessments beyond mandatory educational requirements.
  • Years of practice. Experience matters, especially when it comes to complex periodontal cases. Look for a periodontist who has a solid track record of treating conditions similar to yours.

Advanced Technology and Treatment Options

  • Latest techniques. The best periodontists stay updated with the latest advancements in periodontal treatment and dental technology. This includes being skilled in advanced treatments like LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) and the use of digital imaging for precise diagnostics and treatment planning.
  • Comprehensive treatment plans. Look for a practice that offers a wide range of services and tailors treatment to individual patient needs.

Patient Reviews and Testimonials

Checking reviews and testimonials can provide insights into the periodontist’s reputation and quality of care. Positive feedback from other patients is a strong indicator of a reliable and patient-focused practice.

Personal Comfort and Communication

  • Consultation experience. The initial consultation is a great opportunity to assess whether the periodontist’s communication style and approach make you feel comfortable and understood.
  • Staff and environment. Consider the professionalism of the staff and the cleanliness and comfort of the office environment, as these elements contribute to a positive healthcare experience.
