10/4/2021 “I am so happy that I finally made the decision to get dental implants. For years I battled with periodontal disease and when I came to Dr. H my mouth was in bad shape. I was in pain every day which was having an impact on what and how I ate as well as my self-confidence. I hated to smile anymore. I am glad I choose Dr. H to help me with my teeth. I felt welcomed by him and his staff. Dani is the best! She is very patient and is so nice! I never felt judged by them, only felt the want and desire to help me get a new, better smile and a healthier mouth. I am pain-free now and have a brand new smile. Thank you Portland Perio Implant Center for bringing back my self-confidence and making me want to smile again!”

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.
