What our patients are saying
																	
							“Dr. Abron is very knowledgeable and very thorough! I was referred to have a separate consultation for my condition through my general Dentist. His staff made a smooth, efficient visit (including taking great Covid precautions). I wish more medical providers would take the time to explain the options in such great detail and present the financial breakdown in a simple way.”

FAQS
					 What is a periodontist? 
							
			
			
		
						
				A periodontist is a dental specialist trained to care for your gums and the bone that supports your teeth. After finishing dental school, a periodontist goes through three more years of advanced training to learn how to treat gum disease and place dental implants. This extra education gives them the skills to handle more complex dental problems and provide care that goes beyond what a general dentist typically offers.
					 Why see a periodontist? 
							
			
			
		
						
				One of the main things a periodontist treats is gum disease. Gum disease can cause swelling, bleeding, bad breath, and eventually tooth loss if it’s not treated. A periodontist can help stop the infection, clean deep below the gums, and even rebuild areas where gum or bone has been damaged. Their goal is to save your natural teeth whenever possible and keep your mouth healthy for the long term.
Periodontists are also trained to perform advanced procedures like bone grafting, gum grafting, and placing dental implants to replace missing teeth. Many periodontists use modern technology, such as 3D imaging, digital scanners, and minimally invasive tools, to plan and perform treatment with greater accuracy and comfort. These advanced techniques help improve healing, shorten recovery time, and lead to better results for patients.
