WHAT IS A PERIODONTIST ?

	Periodontists Periodontists are dentists who have taken three or four years of advanced training beyond their dental school education. Like medical specialists, periodontists concentrate and gain expertise in one specific area. In this case, periodontists treat periodontal diseases, perform cosmetic dental surgeries and place dental implants. Learn more about our team. Schedule an appointment.
Periodontist Mission and Goal: Saving Teeth In a sentence, periodontists are charged with saving teeth. That's the mission and goal of Kramer Periodontal for all patients. There are a variety of ways we do this. Specific types of treatment depends on the type and severity of disease. When teeth can no longer be treated and need to be removed, they are often replaced with titanium dental implant fixtures. These dental implants are as strong (actually they're stronger) than natural teeth, and allow the patient to keep an intact set of teeth (dentition) without the need for removable bridges or dentures.
