Wondering if a periodontist is the dental specialist you should be turning to?
Gum disease is one of the most common problems that people deal with. If you are dealing with gum issues, our Miami, FL, periodontists Dr. Angel Diaz-Norman and Dr. Marco Morales are the perfect team to turn to for care.
What is a periodontist?
A periodontist is a dental professional that specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating conditions and disorders that impact the gums. Many people turn to our Miami, FL, practice because our periodontists have the advanced knowledge and proper tools to be able to effectively treat any gum problems. Just as you’d turn to a cardiologist and not a primary care physician to properly treat a heart problem, you should also turn to a periodontist to treat disorders and infections of the gums.
How can a periodontist help me?
Your Miami, FL, periodontists offer a wide range of periodontal disease treatment options such as scaling and root planing to our patients. Some patients who have been dealing with severe or advanced gum disease are also dealing with loose teeth or missing teeth. In this case, not only can we provide the immediate treatment they need to restore their gums back to health but we also provide dental implants to replace missing teeth. Implants are amazing because they truly function just like real teeth, and your oral surgeon would be happy to sit down with you to discuss whether implants are the best way to treat your tooth loss.
Since we are fortunate enough to have both a periodontist and an oral surgeon on staff, we are also able to remove impacted or problematic wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth can often cause more harm than good. Our expert team can easily remove these molars so they don’t cause gum disease, infection, dental damage, and more.
If you are interested in getting dental implants, you want to find out if you need your wisdom teeth removed, or you need a gum disease diagnosis, our Miami, FL, periodontists Dr. Diaz-Norman and Dr. Morales are here to answer all of your questions and to provide you with the individualized care you’re looking for. To schedule a consultation, call us at (305) 227-4020.
