Even though my dentist also does implants there wasn’t enough bone for him to do an implant so my dentist recommended Portland Perio Implant Center. From the beginning I knew from my interactions with Dr. Haghighat and staff I was in the right place. They can do stuff others just can’t, I’m not sure if it’s because of the technology they possess or skill, probably both, but Dr. Haghighat had great confidence that it would be successful and it was. They worked with insurance so I could focus on recovery and if I ever need another implant I’ll obviously be going back.”

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.
