Why would a dentist refer you to a periodontist?

A dentist may recommend a visit to a periodontist if they suspect that the patient has gum disease or if there are signs of inflammation, bleeding, or infections in the gums. A periodontist specializes in the treatment of gum diseases and can provide more specialized care and treatment options. It is important to follow through with the recommendation to prevent further complications and maintain good oral health.

Who is better for dental implants, oral surgeon or periodontist?

The choice between an oral surgeon and a periodontist for dental implants involves several factors, including case complexity, patient health, and practitioner expertise for surgery and aesthetics (implants). To make an informed decision, consult with both specialists and consider their recommendations along with personal preferences. I also recommend you review their online case studies and reviews. Crucially, ensure the chosen practitioner is licensed and experienced in dental implant procedures.
