Periodontics in San Francisco: What You Should Know
Periodontists specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease, as well as the placement of dental implants. They treat conditions ranging from mild gingivitis to advanced periodontitis and perform procedures like scaling and root planing, gum grafting, and bone regeneration. Their additional three years of training focuses on the supporting structures of the teeth.
San Francisco is home to 56 periodontics specialists listed in our directory. Each provider profile includes verified credentials, practice location, and contact details so you can make an informed choice about your care.
When to See a Periodontics Specialist
See a periodontist if you have bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, or if your dentist has diagnosed gum disease. Patients considering dental implants should also consult a periodontist, as they specialize in the bone and gum tissue that supports implants.
What to Look for in a Periodontics Specialist
Seek a periodontist who is board certified by the American Board of Periodontology. Ask about their experience with your specific condition and what non-surgical and surgical treatment options they offer. A thorough initial examination should include a full periodontal charting and possibly digital imaging.
