      Periodontal Services at Our Wellington-Area Office

      We treat patients with every stage of gum disease and a wide range of periodontal and implant needs. Whether you have been referred by your general dentist or are scheduling on your own, we will evaluate your condition and walk you through your options.

      Gum Disease Treatment

      We provide the full range of gum disease treatment options at our Wellington-area office, from scaling and root planing for early-stage disease to LANAP laser therapy for more advanced cases. Our goal is to stop disease progression, protect the supporting bone, and preserve your teeth for the long term.

      LANAP Laser Gum Surgery

      LANAP is one of the most advanced treatments for periodontal disease available today. There is no cutting, no suturing, and most patients return to their routine the same day. It is not always easy to find close to home. We offer the LANAP protocol at our Wellington-area location, bringing this level of care to western Palm Beach County patients.

      Dental Implants

      If you have lost one or more teeth, we provide dental implant placement and restoration at our Wellington-area office. Implants bond to the jawbone, prevent bone loss, and restore both function and appearance. For patients who need full-arch replacement, we also offer All-on-4 implant-supported dentures.

      Gum Grafting

      Receding gums expose tooth roots, increase sensitivity, and accelerate bone loss over time. We perform gum grafting procedures to restore lost tissue, cover exposed roots, and protect your teeth from further recession and damage.

      LAPIP for Implants

      If you have a dental implant and have developed an infection around it — a condition called peri-implantitis — LAPIP laser implant therapy treats that infection without traditional surgery. Early intervention is critical to preserving the implant and the surrounding bone.

      Bone Grafting and Sinus Lift

      Patients who have experienced bone loss may not have the bone volume needed to support dental implants. We perform bone grafting and sinus lift procedures at our Wellington-area location to rebuild the foundation before implant placement can proceed.

      What Is a Periodontist?

      A periodontist is a dental specialist who completes three additional years of training after dental school, focused entirely on gum disease, the supporting bone structure, and dental implants. When your dentist refers you to a periodontist, it is because your condition requires that level of expertise. We can treat conditions that general dentistry does not have the training, tools, or surgical capabilities to address.

      We also work closely with referring dentists throughout Wellington and western Palm Beach County and keep them informed of your progress so your overall dental care stays coordinated.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Q. Do I need a referral to visit your Wellington-area office?

      No referral is required. Many of our patients are referred by their general dentist, but you are welcome to call us directly. We will review your situation and walk you through your options at your consultation.

      Q. What does a periodontist treat that a regular dentist cannot?

      We treat moderate to advanced gum disease, perform periodontal surgery, place dental implants, and manage conditions like bone loss, gum recession, and peri-implantitis. These require specialized training and technology that goes beyond general dentistry.

      Q. Do you offer LANAP at the Wellington-area office?

      Yes. LANAP laser gum surgery is available at our Wellington-area location. It is one of the most effective and least invasive treatments for gum disease available, and we are proud to offer it close to home for Wellington and western Palm Beach County patients.

      Q. Does your Wellington-area office accept dental insurance?

      Yes. We work with most major dental insurance plans. Our team will verify your coverage and walk you through costs and payment options before any treatment begins.

      Q. What are the signs I should see a periodontist?

      Bleeding gums, red or swollen gum tissue, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, or a referral from your general dentist are all reasons to schedule a consultation. Many patients with active gum disease have no obvious symptoms at all, which is why evaluations are important.

      Definition of Periodontal Terminology
      Periodontist
      A periodontist is a dental specialist who completes three additional years of training after dental school, focused entirely on gum disease, the supporting bone structure, and dental implants.
      Periodontal Disease
      Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection that damages the gum tissue and bone supporting the teeth. Without treatment, it progresses to bone loss and eventually tooth loss.
      Scaling and Root Planing
      Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths root surfaces to prevent bacteria from reattaching.
      LANAP
      LANAP, or Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is an FDA-cleared laser treatment for periodontal disease that removes infected tissue without cutting or suturing, allowing faster recovery.
      Gum Grafting
      Gum grafting is a surgical procedure in which donor tissue is placed to cover exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession, restoring protective tissue and reducing sensitivity.
      Dental Implant
      A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root, providing a stable, permanent foundation for a crown or prosthetic tooth.
      Peri-Implantitis
      Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory condition caused by bacterial infection around a dental implant. It affects the surrounding gum tissue and bone and requires early treatment to save the implant.
      Osseointegration
      Osseointegration is the process by which a dental implant fuses with the surrounding jawbone over time, creating a stable and lasting base for the prosthetic tooth.
      Bone Grafting
      Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild lost or damaged jawbone, often performed before dental implant placement when insufficient bone volume exists to support an implant.
      Sinus Lift
      A sinus lift is a procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw by raising the sinus floor, creating the space and bone volume needed for dental implant placement in the upper molar area.
