Periodontics, or periodontology, is the branch of dentistry which studies the supporting structures of teeth and addresses the diseases and conditions that affect them. In addition, a periodontist has intimate knowledge of jaw structure and oral soft tissues, allowing for effective placement of dental implants.
The links above under 'Periodontics' give further detail regarding these diseases and conditions, as well as procedures used to address them. In addition to traditional periodontal theory and treatment, our unique experience and expertise in orthodontics will allow us to give you options that best assure the long-term health of your dentition.
