Their FAQ
Answers from their website.
What is the difference between a dentist and a periodontist?
Dentists are primarily trained in the care of teeth. They are skilled at filling cavities, regular cleanings, standard x-rays, and some cosmetic procedures. Periodontists receive the same training as dentists and then continue their education to specialize in the care of gums and the bone supporting the teeth. Services offered by a periodontist include deep pocket cleaning, bone grafting, soft tissue grafting, and dental implant placement.
What type of procedures does a periodontist perform?
Periodontists focus on gum and bone care, preventing and treating disease that affects the gums and supporting bones. Treatments can include cleaning infected root surfaces (root planing), regenerative procedures to restore lost bone and tissue, and the placement and repair of dental implants.
Is my visit to the Periodontist covered by my dental plan?
Coverage for periodontal treatment varies by dental insurance plan. In many cases, periodontal treatment is considered preventive care and may be covered. Patients should contact their insurance provider to confirm coverage for specific procedures.
Do you need a referral for a periodontist?
You do not need a referral to visit a periodontist. While many dentists refer patients with gum or bone issues, patients may schedule an appointment directly if they are experiencing symptoms such as bleeding gums, swollen gums, loose teeth, or mouth pain.
How do I prepare for gum/implant procedures?
Preparation is generally minimal. Prescriptions to prevent infection, swelling, and pain may be provided in advance and should typically be started as directed on the morning of treatment. Patients are also advised to have soft foods available and avoid scheduling major events immediately after the procedure.
What should I expect after treatment?
Some discomfort, bruising, and swelling may occur after treatment. Following post-operative instructions can help minimize discomfort. Patients are typically advised to use an ice pack and avoid strenuous activity for 48 to 72 hours following gum surgery.
