I recently had an implant done by Dr. Haghighat and was so incredibly impressed by his expertise and his knowledgeable friendly staff. I’m extremely dental phobic but knew I had to get this implant done. From the second I walked in the door my fears were put at ease. He explained the procedure to me in great detail and assured me I would feel nothing! I’ve had an implant in the past (about 10 years ago) and it wasn’t a great experience, so I was a bit hesitant to go through the process again. He assured me the technology and technique had been improved immensely and that it would be a much smoother process this time. He was spot on! The day of my procedure Melissa, his assistant, went over the procedure and post-op instructions with me again and made sure all of my questions were answered. She then tucked me in and made sure I was comfortable before they started my surgery. I was pleasantly surprised that my extraction, bone graft, and implant only took about an hour! Dr. Haghighat was so efficient and precise that it really was painless! My recovery was exactly as they had prepared me for and I was back to normal in 2 days. I have since had my post-op appointments and have had no problems at all and am healing up well. I would whole-heartily recommend this office to anyone needing implants or any type of grafting done. Thank you Dr. Haghighat and staff for being so amazing and making this process seamless! 1-24-19 (also posted on Yelp)

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.

It is important to follow through with the recommendation to prevent further complications and maintain good oral health.
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.
