The Role of a Periodontist in Oral Health
A periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease as well as the placement of dental implants. Unlike general dentistry, periodontal care addresses the foundation of your smile, the gums, jawbone, and connective tissues that support your teeth.
This type of care can benefit patients with:
- Receding gums or gum disease
- Missing teeth that may require dental implants
- Uneven gum lines that affect appearance
- Bone loss in the jaw following tooth loss
Treatments Available at Highlands Ranch Periodontics
For patients who live in Castle Pines, advanced services are only a short drive away. Some of the treatments available include:
- Dental Implants: A durable and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. Options include single implants, multiple teeth replacement, or full-arch solutions like All-on-4.
- Gum Surgery: Procedures such as gum grafting, crown lengthening, and gummy smile treatment help restore health and improve appearance.
- Bone Grafting: Techniques like socket preservation and sinus augmentation prepare the jawbone for future implants.
- Laser Therapy: A minimally invasive way to treat gum disease with precision and less discomfort.
Why Specialized Care Matters
Periodontal disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. When treated early and correctly, patients can avoid complex restorative work down the road. Specialized training and advanced technology allow periodontists to create personalized treatment plans that address both function and aesthetics.
For patients in Castle Pines, this means access to care that not only restores oral health but also improves confidence in their smile.
