Periodontics is a dental speciality that focuses on the health of the gums and surrounding tissue. A periodontist is a dental specialist who first graduates from dental school to become a dentist and then does a three-year residency to specialise in the field of periodontics. This offers a periodontist the experience as well as the knowledge to treat all sorts of gum ailments, carry out periodontal surgical procedures and place dental implants efficiently.
The principal causative agent for gum diseases is bacteria-laden plaque. Dental plaque accumulates on the surface of your teeth and gums and metabolise sugars to release toxic by-products, which causes gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis. Swollen, painful and bleeding gums can be an indication of gum diseases. These gum diseases can lead to teeth loss, which compromises oral as well as overall health. At Wilmington Periodontics and Implants, our services and treatment help you fight against gum diseases and improve your oral health.
Are you tired of living with missing teeth and seek a permanent teeth replacement solution? At Wilmington Periodontics and Implants, we offer you the best solution for teeth replacement – Dental Implants. Dental implants placed by our Delaware periodontist are medical-grade titanium pieces that are placed inside your jawbone with the help of a small incision in your gums. Once the dental implants heal, they are used as a foundation to place dental prosthesis. Dental Implants in Wilmington provide you with a permanent and fixed solution to replace lost teeth.
