Welcome As a periodontist, I work to keep you smiling, speaking, and chewing with your own teeth. Periodontics-State of New Jersey Specialty Permit #2827 Most people have some form of periodontal disease, known by many as gum disease. If undetected or left untreated - and these diseases are usually painless at first - the support for the teeth in the jaw bone is destroyed. At later stages this causes the teeth to become loose or painful. In addition, gum disease can cause bad breath and change the appearance of your smile. Periodontists specialize in preventing and treating these diseases, so that you do not lose your teeth. If you have already lost a tooth or teeth, you can have realistic replacements. I can help plan, place, and maintain dental implant replacements.
