Periodontal disease (gum disease) is one of the most common dangers to your periodontal health, and a periodontist will often be recommended to treat moderate to severe instances of the disease. Besides restoring good health to your gums, periodontal care can also include rebuilding damaged tissues and jawbone structure that may have suffered from periodontal disease. Dr. Everett can also perform complex tooth extractions that your general dentist may not be able to perform, help prepare your dental ridges for dental implant placement, and perform minimally-invasive soft- and hard-tissue grafts.
