12-21-19 (Click for case study) “Portland Perio Implant Center not only gave my son a new smile but literally saved his life after finding a large mass in his gums that was making Bob very sick. Dr. Kamran Haghighat found a mass that started from his nasal cavity and went all the way to his ear. Finding this mass prevented Bob from getting his upper implants on that day. Days after the removal, Bob started to feel better. His lesions cleared up and his infections went away. Dr. Haghighat found this when no other dentist could find it. He had this mass for many years…. Another surgery in June to install the uppers and on December 20th…we received the final installation and you now can see the results. I have learned a lot about this procedure and I want to express on how important it is to find the right person to install implants. We went to three different places and did not feel comfortable until we met with Dr. Highighat. He comes fully qualified and very professional. I never felt concerned or my son never felt neglected. He has a tremendous support staff. It was a long journey but as you can see….the results are out of this world! Thank you so much again for changing (and saving) my son’s life.”

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.
