I had an extraction, bone graft, tissue regeneration and implant placed by Dr. Haghighat. I am so pleased with the work and the staff. I was extremely nervous about the procedure as I’ve had much trauma with my teeth including a long ago car accident. Melissa, the dental tech, and Dani, office manager, were so compassionate. They really put me at ease and made the whole process much easier. They were very accepting of my fear (and tears). Dr. Haghighat is excellent, clearly proficient and professional. He takes pride in his good work. I am so thankful I had this team to guide me through a rough process. They are a great team. Love them!! –Robin H. 5-9-2018

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.
