Benefits of a Periodontist in Sarasota, FL

Your smile is our specialty.

When it comes to dental care, we often think about our pearly whites, but there's a whole world beneath the surface that plays a crucial role in our oral health. The supporting structures of our teeth, including the gums, bone, and connective tissues, require specialized care, and that's where periodontics comes into play.

At Tindal Prosthodontics in beautiful Sarasota, FL, you'll find a team of dental specialists led by the highly skilled prosthodontist Dr. Ben Tindal . With a commitment to providing top-notch periodontal care, we offer a wide range of treatments and procedures to ensure your oral health is in tip-top shape. Let's discuss some of the specialized services we offer with our in-house Periodontist.

Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth. Our team excel in this area, offering services such as immediate placement when appropriate, immediate provisionalization, single-unit through full arch placement, and ridge augmentation for improved aesthetics and function. We're also experts in treating peri-implantitis, a condition that affects dental implants, and can perform both hard and soft tissue regeneration around diseased implants. If needed, we can handle the extraction of failed implants, followed by hard and soft tissue regeneration and replacement.

Surgical Exposure for Orthodontic Treatment

When orthodontic treatment requires surgical exposure of unerupted canines, our periodontal expertise comes into play, aiding in the successful completion of orthodontic care.

Periodontal Assisted Osteogenic Orthodontics

Combining the fields of periodontics and orthodontics, this specialized approach can achieve remarkable results in complex cases.

Extraction & Socket Grafting

Tooth extraction is sometimes necessary, and when it is, we can perform socket grafting to preserve the bone and prepare for future dental work.

Biopsy with Oral Pathology

In cases where oral pathology is suspected, we offer biopsy services. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are essential for effective treatment.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants offer patients a natural-looking and fully functional tooth replacement. If you are considering dental implants to replace missing teeth, a periodontist is a specialist who can perform the surgical placement of the implant into the jawbone.

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a procedure that can be performed to expose more of the tooth's surface. It's often done to support restorative or cosmetic treatments. We have the expertise to provide this service with precision and care.

Treatment of Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, requires specialized care. Our offerings include traditional osseous surgery, regeneration of periodontal defects, laser therapy, and collaborative work with our hygiene team to optimize diagnostic and treatment protocols. We're dedicated to helping you regain and maintain healthy gums.

Gingival Grafting

Sometimes, gum tissue needs a little extra care. Our services include various gingival grafting techniques, such as subepithelial connective tissue grafting, free gingival grafts, and the use of autogenous palatal tissue or donor tissue when appropriate. These procedures can help improve gum aesthetics and function.

What is the difference between a General Dentist and a Periodontist?

The distinction between a general dentist and a periodontist is rooted in their specialized expertise and the scope of dental care they offer. General dentists serve as the primary providers of routine dental care, focusing on preventive measures, check-ups, and addressing common dental issues. In contrast, periodontists are specialized dentists with advanced training in managing diseases affecting the supporting structures of teeth, especially the gums and bone.

Their expertise encompasses treating gum diseases, conducting surgical procedures for gum and bone health, and placing dental implants. Periodontists handle complex cases, including advanced gum diseases, gum recession, and bone loss, often collaborating with general dentists for referrals and specialized treatments.

General dentists provide comprehensive dental care, while periodontists focus on advanced gum and bone-related issues, making them specialists for periodontal treatments and dental implant procedures.
