Changing Lives with a Smile
Periodontist Quincy and Norwell
Have you been suffering from inflamed gums, deep pockets, bad breath or lose teeth? Have your dentist or dental hygienist suggested booking an appointment with a periodontist? You can rely on our experienced and highly trained periodontist at Advanced Dental Arts in Quincy and Norwell to help you restore a healthy smile.
A periodontist specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, as well as dental implant placement. Periodontal disease affects structures supporting the teeth, including gums, that become inflamed due to poor oral hygiene and plaque buildup. If not treated by a periodontist, the disease can result in painful and bleeding gums, problems when chewing and subsequently, tooth loss. The priority for our Advanced Dental Team at the Quincy and Norwell offices is to make sure that our patients have healthy smiles. Therefore we offer comprehensive periodontal care, including in-office visits, as well as advice on how to improve oral hygiene to prevent further progress or recurrence of the inflammation.

Before deciding on the treatment, the periodontist will review your medical record, examine the gums, check the depth between your teeth and gums, check the bite and look for any loose teeth. He will also asses the x-rays to asses the health of your bone below the gums. All gathered information will allow him to create a personalized treatment plan. Apart from regular visits with the periodontist, you will receive instructions on how to improve your daily home oral care routine to aid the treatment and later prevent the reoccurrence of periodontal disease.
