Gum disease causes 70 percent of tooth loss and also contributes to underlying health conditions such as heart disease, osteoporosis, and diabetes complications. Because gum disease has initially mild symptoms, people often don’t realize they have a problem. We care about protecting your oral health and smile, so Dr. Becker-Walker will monitor your mouth for any signs of trouble. If we find evidence of gum disease, our periodontist, Dr. Sarah Puzey, can halt the disease’s progression and re-establish your dental health. Our practice offers non-surgical periodontal therapies, as well as gum surgery.
What is a periodontist?
A periodontist deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases in the supporting tissues inside your mouth, including the gums and jawbone. Recognized as a dental specialty, periodontics requires an extra three years of training after dental school. Dr. Puzey can perform extractions, gum surgery, recontouring, frenectomies, crown lengthening, and implant placement. Our soft-tissue laser makes periodontal therapy comfortable and efficient.
