What is a Periodontist?
While everyone is familiar with their general dentist, a periodontist sometimes needs more explanation. Allow us to better explain exactly what a periodontist and implant surgeon is. “Perio” means around, and in the context of oral health, it refers to all structures surrounding the teeth: our gum tissue, supporting bone, and the intimate connection between the two. A periodontist is the dental specialist considered to be the authority on everything surrounding the tooth. They are often called on to determine if a tooth’s foundation is sound enough to support dentistry.
The journey to becoming a Periodontist and Implant Surgeon exceeds that of a general dentist with respect to the amount of training required. Following dental school three additional years of specialized training in a residency program. During the course of training periodontist treat a variety of cases under the close supervision of instructors. Beyond treating patients, residents are expected to thoroughly understand the literature from a scientific perspective and routinely present on this body of working knowledge. This level of rigorous and consistent training has prepared Dr. Delica to handle even the most complicated periodontal and implant surgical issues with confidence.
