What Is A Periodontist?
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in:
- Saving your teeth by the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease.
- Creating the foundation for, the placement of and maintenance of dental implants.
- Reducing your risk for systemic disease (heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, to name a few).
Periodontists are experts in the treatment of all forms of periodontal disease, including gingivitis, periodontitis, and gingival recession.
The American Dental Association recognizes periodontics as one of the nine specialties of dentistry. Periodontists receive extensive training, including three years of additional education beyond dental school.
By choosing a specialist you will benefit from the latest procedures for treating periodontal disease and placing dental implants tailored to your needs. In addition, Dr. Matoska and Dr. Otomo-Corgel can perform cosmetic periodontal procedures to help you achieve the smile you desire.
