I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to Dr. Haghighat. My father has been a patient of his for many years now. At the start of their relationship, my father was the typical patient who needed some implants due to poor oral hygiene. Over their 7 year relationship my father was diagnosed with throat cancer and due to his radiation treatments, he eventually lost all his teeth leaving him unable to consume solid food. He has spent the last few years living on soup and ice cream as Dr. Haghighat and his team has expertly rebuilt his entire mouth. My dad just came to visit for the holidays with his brand new smile! So thank you to the team at Portland Implant Center for giving me my foodie dad back… We are off to eat!

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease (a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth, also known as gum disease), and in the placement of dental implants.

A periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, also known as gum disease.

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum diseases and other conditions that affect the supporting structures of the teeth. While dentists focus on the general health and maintenance of teeth, periodontists have additional education and training to handle more complex cases.
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.
