What is a Periodontist?
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease and in the placement and maintenance of dental implants. Periodontists receive extensive training in these areas, including three additional years of education beyond dental school. Dr. Rubino specializes in conservative non-surgical and surgical treatment of gum disease including cosmetic procedures to aesthetically enhance your smile, as well as dental implants that can replace single or multiple missing teeth.
Periodontal Disease
Periodontal Diseases are ongoing infections of the gums that gradually destroy the support of your natural teeth. Bacteria found in plaque produce toxins that irritate the gums. They may turn red, swell, and bleed easily. If this irritation is prolonged, the gums separate from the teeth causing pockets (spaces) to form. The supporting gum tissue and bone that holds teeth in place deteriorate. If left untreated, this Gum Disease leads to tooth loss.
Dental Implants
Dental Implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The implants are titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence.
