Why A Periodontist?
One of the most important reasons to choose a Periodontist for your dental implant procedures is because a Periodontist completes the highest level of training of any dental professional. Periodontists are experts on gums and soft tissues of the mouth. This makes them the best candidate to assist you during the healing process and to achieve the best results cosmetically and functionally.
What makes a Periodontist?
A periodontist specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease and oral inflammation; the placement of dental implants; and bone grafting. Periodontists complete additional years of education to become well versed in these areas. When going through the implant process, a periodontist gives you the experience you need. Dr. Gaither has the enhanced training and the knowledge to work on cases specifically like yours.

What is the implant process from a Periodontist?
Dental Implants are a complex process that requires a minor surgical procedure to place the implants, followed by the aftercare and placement of the abutments and restorations. A periodontist understands and specializes in the supporting structures of teeth, and they are likely to detect any concerns before, during, or after treatment. When choosing Dr. Gaither for dental implants, you can trust that you are getting the highest quality care to ensure a safe and effective procedure.
