Losing your four front teeth is not a pleasant experience, I can tell you this from first hand experience (I don’t recommend doing this). Fortunately, I was referred to Portland Implant Center by my general dentist following a bad accident. I was in a very fragile state during my first consult with Dr. Haghighat. I was still in shock from my accident, I didn’t know what the next step in my treatment would be, and I had no idea if I would ever smile again. I walked out of his office after my initial consult a little less fragile and confident that he would restore my smile. During the consult his staff was friendly and empathetic, he showed care and concern when asking me about my accident, he asked me about how I wanted my smile to look, he was very thorough in the description and timing of my treatment plan, and he asked me if I had any questions. After this visit, I knew it would take time to restore my smile, I knew there were going to be some uncomfortable days ahead, and I was certain Dr. Haghighat was the best periodontist to perform my treatment. Dr. Haghighat is a perfectionist. I quickly realized this after my first surgery with him… my smile was in good hands. I spent a lot of time in the office over the course of a year and a half. Dr. Haghighat and his staff always made me feel at home and comfortable throughout my treatment. If you find yourself missing a few teeth, like myself, and you are looking for true professionals who provide exceptional care, I would highly recommend Portland Implant Center. The best of the best. Dr. Haghighat made a horrible experience a little less painful (a lot less painful, actually) and restored my smile. 6/12/18

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 specializes in the treatment of gum diseases and can provide more specialized care and treatment options. 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.
