A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease and in the placement and maintenance of dental implants. Periodontists are experts in the treatment of all forms of periodontal disease, including gingivitis, periodontitis, and gingival recession.

The American Dental Association recognizes periodontics as one of the nine specialties of dentistry. Periodontists receive extensive training, including three years of additional education beyond dental school.

By choosing a specialist you will benefit from the latest procedures for treating periodontal disease and placing dental implants tailored to your needs. In addition, Drs. Neary, Lanzetta, Chondrogiannis and Elhein can perform cosmetic periodontal procedures to help you achieve the smile you desire.

Pinhole: very small pinholes made in gum, special instruments then placed in the pinholes to separate & loosen the tissue. Tissue is them moved to cover exposed roots & collagen strips are placed under the tissue to help stabilize it so sutures are not required. We no longer use tissue from roof or mouth or cadaver tissue. Since this technique is less invasive, it allows the doctor to take care of multiple teeth at one time, which reduces the visits you will need. Healing time & swelling is also minimized

LANAP (laser assisted new attachment procedure): Only laser protocol that is FDA approved for soft tissue & bone regeneration. The laser is used to gently remove harmful bacteria & diseased tissue from gums. The precision of the laser allows only the diseased tissue to be removed, maintaining the height of the tissue around the tooth. LANAP controls perio disease, making it possible to save & restore healthy teeth that otherwise may have to be extracted. Also, because it’s a laser the level of discomfort is reduced. There’s no need for a scalpel to cut the tissue, which means no stitches & minimal bleeding, all leading to a quicker & easier recovery

Osseous Surgery: recommended for advanced infections. Removes bacteria from root surfaces, removes diseased tissue from teeth & bone for a total periodontal health makeover (laser is used).

LAPIP (laser peri-implantitis procedure): laser is used to deep clean & reshape the affected areas. The procedure effectively stops progressive bone loss, gum inflammation, decay & more

*Peri-Implantitis-affects the hard & soft tissue surrounding an implant. It can lead to serious deterioration of teeth, gums, & bone adjacent to the implant
