How In-House Periodontics Makes Your Dental Routine Easier

Having an in-house periodontist come to your dental office can be a great way to reduce stress on your dental routine. Instead of driving between two offices, you get it all under one roof.

The less time spent on maintenance for your teeth, the more time you have to unwind and relax. Having an in-house periodontist at your local dentistry can offer a variety of treatments that regular dentists cannot provide.

What is a periodontist?

In short, a periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease, or gum disease. They can usually perform cosmetic procedures and can fix any symptoms of gum disease with regular periodontal examinations.

A successful periodontist will have years of accredited dental school under their belt as well as board certifications. Some basic and popular treatments they offer include dental implants and soft tissue grafting.

All in all, these dentists are here to provide comprehensive gum care. They can help you with anything from advanced gum disease to basic cosmetic procedures.

Typically, these dentists will work from their own practice. However, many general dental offices are partnering with periodontists to provide in-house periodontics.

Knowledge and abilities

One major plus with providing in-house periodontics is the ability to ensure patient comfort. These dentists can perform procedures with little to no incisions. Periodontists are also trained to work with special equipment that can improve patient recovery times.

When there is an in-house periodontist, you can knock out two procedures in one visit. This saves you time, money and hassle! Fewer visits means more time for leisure and relaxing.

Efficiency

Since general dentists perform general scaling and root planning to prevent early gum disease, a periodontist can help provide relief for more advanced issues. They are trained to handle more complex cases if the patient is in more dire need of help.

A regular dentist may not have the knowledge or tools available to help during these extreme cases. The in-house periodontist can takeover to lighten the dentist’s workload. Not only does this mean you get treatment quickly, but the dentist also spends less time with the patient. It improves the speed and efficiency of the entire office.

An in-house periodontist will be able to see and diagnose more than just your average dentist.

Should you choose in-house periodontics?

Are you suffering from advanced gum disease or missing teeth? Perhaps you are simply unhappy with the look of your gums or teeth. If so, consider seeing a specialist such as a periodontist.

Having somebody in the dental office in addition to your dentist is a great way to hear about more treatment methods. Also, you can spend less time driving between offices to make your appointments since everything happens in one place.
