Why You Need a Houston Periodontist

Experts in Dentistry Providing Specialized Service

You might count on your general dentist to perform a routine teeth cleaning or to fill a cavity, but for help with more specific periodontal concerns, you may want to see a specialized periodontist, who is an expert in the structures of your teeth and gums and the diseases that could potentially affect them.

If you’re searching for a Houston periodontist who specializes in dental implants, look no further than Bellaire Periodontics. Dr. Sharon Minott-Warren is committed to educating patients on the importance of their treatment, and maintains open and clear communication with the referring general dentist.

Specialization that Benefits You

Some patients’ periodontal needs can be managed by a general dentist. However, with periodontal disease on the rise and research showing a relationship between periodontal disease and other chronic systemic diseases, periodontal treatment now requires a greater understanding and an increased level of expertise by a trained periodontist.

A periodontist’s unique skills can significantly benefit you and your health. They are better equipped to notice, diagnose, and treat serious diseases in your gums. They can also perform deep cleaning treatments like scaling, to scrape away tartar and plaque, and planing, to smooth over rough patches on the roots of your teeth to remove bacteria. These non-surgical procedures can reduce your risk of gum disease and keep your smile healthy. You can count on our skilled Houston periodontist to provide these services and more, always keeping your comfort in mind.
