What does LPID mean in DENTAL

A periodontist is a specialist in treating diseases and conditions that affect the gums. They are sometimes called gum specialists, as they are highly trained in surgical techniques to treat gum disease, even advanced stages of it. General dentists focus on preventive care and overall health of your teeth.

Seeking treatment from a periodontist can help preserve and restore your oral health. Periodontists specialize in diagnosing, preventing, and treating diseases or conditions that affect the gums, ligaments and bones that support teeth. With advanced training, they offer more specialized treatments than what is typically offered by general dentists.

If you experience any issues with your gums such as bleeding during brushing or flossing, redness, swelling or pain when eating hot or cold foods then you should consider visiting a periodontist for an evaluation.

No, with appropriately designed implants there will be no damage to your surrounding natural teeth. London Periodontics and Implant Dentistry specializes in providing professional implant treatments that are tailored specifically to each patient’s dental needs while preserving their existing teeth structures wherever possible.

Most people don’t experience discomfort after receiving an implant procedure at London Periodontic and Implant Dentistry; however slight soreness may occur which responds well to over-the-counter medications like Ibuprofen or Tylenol if necessary. We will provide you with guidance on how much medication to take after each appointment based on your individual needs.

The entire process can take several months depending on the complexity of the case; however most patients complete their treatment series within one year. Each phase of the process must be given adequate time until the final procedure can be placed which requires the implant site have completely healed before placing the restoration prosthetic.

Signs that indicate an implant may be failing include pain around the implant site or sensitivity to heat/cold, increased swelling, visible changes in tissue coloration close to where the implant was inserted (redness), persistently bad breath or taste near where you had surgery done and visible gaps between your restoration prosthetic(s) and your gums/teeth structures. If any of these symptoms occur we recommend seeking professional attention immediately.

In addition offering multiple types of both implant solutions (including full jaw reconstructive surgeries) our practice also provides patients with services related to crown lengthening surgery (gum tissue recessions), non-surgical periodontal therapy (planing & scaling) soft tissue grafting (for root coverage), bone grafting (to add density lost due aging) dental laser therapy (to reduce bacterial load/inflammation), frenectomy procedures (for lip ties & tongue ties).

At London Periodontics & Implant Dentistry we make sure our patients receive only high-quality care regardless of whether it’s their first visit our follow up visits for post-procedure healing checks; proper sterilization protocols are followed alongside thorough examination of post-operative sites helping us limit any chances of infection making its way into patient healing sites. That said infection still remains possible but rare under these conditions which is why regular checkups should always be scheduled even after completing treatment planning sessions.
