What is a periodontist?
A periodontist is a dentist with specialty training in the gums, the bone that holds your teeth, and dental implants—additional training after completing dental school. Your general dentist is like primary care for your mouth—checkups, cleanings, fillings, and crowns. We are the specialists you see when gums are unhealthy—gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), soft tissue needs rebuilding, or implants need careful planning of bone and gum foundations. Think of us as the team that protects and restores the “foundation” that keeps your smile strong.
What we offer
- Gum disease care — gingivitis and periodontitis (the clinical terms for gum disease): diagnosis, deep cleaning, surgery when needed, and maintenance to help you keep your natural teeth
- Soft tissue / gum grafting — covering recession, thickening thin gums, and improving comfort and appearance
- Osseous regeneration & biomaterials — rebuilding supporting bone with modern biologics and biomaterials advances that help restore foundation tissue once thought lost for good
- LANAP® & LAPIP® — laser treatment for gum disease around natural teeth, and laser care for inflammation or infection around implants
- Dental implants — consultations and placement for missing teeth
- Implant repair — LAPIP®, debridement, and grafting for ailing or failing implants (Drs. Daniel, Gaydos-Daniel & Kim)
- Advanced / complex grafting — sinus lift, ridge augmentation, esthetic gum procedures, crown lengthening, and frenectomy
We partner with your dentist. You don’t leave your general dentist when you visit us. Many patients keep their dentist for fillings and cleanings while we handle specialty care. We treat the specialty need, share findings and records, and return you with a clear plan—so your care stays coordinated with the dental home you already trust.
Wondering if specialty care is right for you?
Bleeding gums, recession, missing teeth, a tender implant, or a referral—we’re here to help. If you were told your sinus is too low or close, or that there isn’t enough bone for an implant, we may still be able to help.
