What Is a Beverly Hills Periodontal Plastic Surgeon?

A dentist is often known as a “tooth doctor” because that’s their primary focus. The name “dentist,” even comes from the French word for tooth. So who do you go to when you are looking for someone who specializes in the care of the tissues around your teeth like your gums and jawbone? A periodontist (from the Latin for “around the tooth) is a specialist in treating the gums and other tissues around the teeth. Periodontists receive extensive training in the care of these tissues, including at least three additional years of education focused directly on periodontal treatments of various types.

Among the procedures that periodontists specialize in are:

As well as any other treatment of the periodontal tissues.

Dental Implant Placement

Dental implants are designed to replace your natural teeth, but they’re not natural teeth. Instead of treating a tooth, the dentist performing the procedure is actually managing periodontal tissue around the dental implant. This is important not only during the placement of the dental implant: it matters long after the initial procedure. The goal is to ensure the best recovery of your jawbone around the dental implant and to avoid recession of the gums around the implant because the dental implant doesn’t foster gum attachment the way your teeth did, though metal-free dental implants are better.

A periodontist is ideally trained for placing the dental implant and helping to maintain it to ensure it lives up to its full lifetime.

Gum Grafting

Gum tissue has a limited ability to recover. If you suffer from receding gums due to gum disease, tobacco use, or other reasons, your gums won’t grow back. Instead, a gum graft can be used to restore your gums to their previous, healthy, and youthful appearance.

A periodontist knows how to graft tissue from elsewhere in your mouth to ensure that the gum graft looks good, heals properly, and stays healthy.

Oral Surgery

Technically, dental implant placement and gum grafting both fall under oral surgery, but there are also many other types of oral surgery, and a periodontist is often your best choice to perform them. These include:

  • Oral cancer biopsies
  • Tooth extractions, including wisdom teeth extractions
  • Bone grafting
  • Surgical gum disease treatment

Although many dentists will offer some or all of these treatments, periodontists have detailed training in these procedures and are prepared to handle the most complex cases and complications.

Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease is when bacteria or other organisms infect the area around your teeth. The damage caused by these bacteria, as well as by your body’s response to bacteria, destroys the gum tissue and the bones around your teeth. The result is loose teeth and even tooth loss.

A periodontist can often intervene to stop the progress of gum disease. Next, bone grafting and gum grafting can be used to restore the damage so that your teeth are as attractive and secure as if there’d never been any disease.

Do You Need a Periodontist?

If you are considering any of the above procedures with your regular dentist, you should also consult with a periodontist to determine whether your case would benefit from specialized care.
