Dental implant surgery is one of the best ways to replace missing teeth, whether for cosmetic or functional reasons. Done by an experienced cosmetic dentist-periodontist team, the results of dental implants, abutments, and crowns are hard to match with other methods.<\/p>\n
If a dental office has a periodontist on staff, like our dental office in DC, that’s a good sign. A periodontist specializes in the gums and tissue that the teeth are anchored in, giving them more experience and knowledge than a general dentist that happens to place implants. A periodontist such as Dental Town DC’s Dr. Dong Park has placed many dental implants over the years and has specialized knowledge and experience.<\/p>\n
While a periodontist may do the best job of placing a dental implant, a cosmetic dentist is more knowledgeable about the aesthetics of the dental restoration. Together, working and collaborating under the same roof, a periodontist and cosmetic dentist can help patients achieve an optimal result.<\/p>\n
