Periodontal Care at Dental Associates of Walpole
Periodontics is the dental specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and other conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums and jawbone. After completing dental school, periodontists undergo several additional years of advanced specialty training and earn certifications that qualify them to perform complex procedures such as gum grafting, bone grafting, dental implant placement, and advanced periodontal surgery. Their specialized education allows them to manage both routine and complex periodontal conditions to help patients maintain healthy smiles for life.
What Is Periodontics?
You may need a periodontist if you have signs of gum disease such as bleeding gums, gum recession, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, or bone loss around your teeth. Periodontists are specially trained to treat periodontal disease, preserve natural teeth whenever possible, and restore lost gum and bone tissue.
They also play an important role in dental implant treatment, helping create a healthy foundation for successful, long-lasting tooth replacement.
