What is a Periodontist?
A periodontist is a dental professional who specializes in the care of the support structures of the teeth, primarily the gums and jaw. From prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease to the placement of dental implants, periodontics includes a wide range of services.
Periodontists must complete an additional three years of specialized education and extensive training beyond dental school. When it comes to complex treatment needs, choosing a specialist offers the highest standard of care tailored to your needs.
What is a Prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is a dental professional that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and maintenance of oral function, comfort, and appearance. They focus on improving and preserving the oral health of those with clinical conditions associated with missing or failing teeth as well as oral and maxillofacial tissues.
Prosthodontists receive advanced training in restoring and replacing teeth and must complete an additional three years of specialized education beyond dental school. When it comes to complex treatment needs, choosing a specialist offers the highest standard of care tailored to your needs. Prosthodontists are recognized experts when it comes to replacing anything in the mouth.
