Periodontics

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to maintaining and rebuilding the supporting structures which anchor teeth into the jaws. Without healthy supporting structures for our teeth, long term success is impossible. Previous generations considered tooth loss to be a common feature of aging. Modern techniques allow retention of our teeth for a lifetime. Tooth loss through breakdown of the periodontium is one of the most common afflictions suffered by humans. Dr Patel will pay close attention to your periodontal health and guide you through needed preventive and therapeutic steps.
