Should you seek out a dentist or a periodontist when you have a problem with your teeth and gums? It might seem like a strange question, but many people are confused about what makes seeing a periodontist in Bloomfield Hills, MI different than seeing another type of dental professional.
The term “periodontics” is an umbrella description for anything involving the teeth and surrounding structures like gum tissue and bone. All periodontists are dentists but not all dentists are periodontists. Periodontists like Dr. Lauren Anderson at Anderson Periodontal Wellness attend specialized graduate programs after dental school for further training in their specialty.
During these additional years of literature review, research, and surgical mastery, Dr. Anderson became an expert in periodontal disease, implants, gingival grafting, crown lengthening, among other presentations. Much of her practice has grown to help patients with tooth loss recover to normal function and appearance through the placement of dental implants.
If you need gum disease treatment, are experiencing gum recession, require bone grafting, or want to explore dental implants, make an appointment with Dr. Anderson, our periodontist in Bloomfield Hills. If you have a different dental healthcare provider, you can still collaborate with a periodontist. In fact, many patients are referred to trusted periodontists by their family dentists.
