Before you contact the practice.
General answers based on the practice's published information. Your own care plan is determined after clinical assessment.
How is a periodontist different from a general dentist?
A periodontist focuses on the gums and supporting structures of teeth and has specialist training in areas such as complex periodontal disease, gum grafting, regenerative procedures and implant placement.
When might I see a periodontist?
Reasons can include persistent gum inflammation or bleeding, gum recession, tooth mobility, advanced periodontal disease or assessment for dental implants.
Does the practice provide sedation options?
The official practice profile lists IV sedation and general anaesthesia facilities. Whether either option is appropriate depends on the procedure and individual patient assessment.
