Educational
What are Periodontics & Implant Dentistry?
Periodontics is the dental specialty that takes care of the gum, the bone and the tissues that support the teeth. Implant Dentistry treats the rehabilitation of missing teeth with implants. Together, they help prevent, treat and restore function and aesthetics to your smile.
What gum disease is
It is inflammation of the gum and bone caused by bacterial buildup. It starts as gingivitis and, if untreated, can progress to periodontitis, with bone loss and risk of tooth loss.
When an implant is indicated
When a tooth has already been lost, or can no longer be kept, a dental implant restores chewing function and the aesthetics of your smile, with individual planning for each case.
Why treating the gum is essential
The gum and bone are the foundation that supports every tooth. Without periodontal health, no tooth — natural or implanted — stays stable in the long run.
Humanized care
With effective anesthesia, careful technique and attentive listening, treatment is carried out at each patient's own pace — including for those who fear the dentist.
