8-12-21 “Never having an implant before, I was very nervous. My dentist sent me to a local oral surgeon, I just didn’t feel comfortable with his plan of doing 2 implants. I looked on the web and found Portland Perio Implant Center, Dr H. Good reviews and he has done a lot of implants. I am very happy I went to him. We are just finishing the process. It was a difficult 2 implants, (but) he was confident they would be ok and I am so happy I went to him. I would definitely recommend him.”

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.
