Kamran Haghighat and his team (Dani and Melissa) are second to none in my experience. I had older dental work bridge, a couple of cracked teeth (cyclist and grinder) and a failed old filing that required attention and Dr. Haghighat’s professional help. Dr. Haghighat placed three implants in for me after adult ortho. The procedures went exactly as planned. I have moved from Portland, OR, but I will always travel back to the Pacific Northwest for the professional services of Dr. Haghighat and his team. My smile is back, my maintenance is easy and my hygiene is top notch. I’m happy. 3-14-19

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 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 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.
