Choosing the Right Periodontist for Your Dental Implants
Dental implants are a sophisticated solution for replacing missing teeth, and they require the meticulous attention of a skilled specialist. Periodontists, dentists who specialize beyond dental school in the treatment of gum disease and the placement of dental implants, are ideally suited for this task.
Bone Grafting in Periodontics: What You Need to Know
Bone grafting is a crucial procedure in periodontics, often necessary for dental implants or combating the effects of periodontal disease. This treatment helps regenerate bone that has been lost, providing a solid foundation for implant placement and enhancing oral health.
