Why Choose a Periodontist?

Understanding the difference a specialist makes in your dental care.

While general dentists provide excellent comprehensive care, periodontists receive an additional three years of specialized training focused specifically on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease, as well as the placement of dental implants.

When to See a Periodontist

Your general dentist may refer you to a periodontist if:

  • You have signs of gum disease (bleeding, swelling, recession)
  • You need dental implants
  • You require complex bone or soft tissue grafting
  • You have systemic conditions that affect gum health

Dr. Liu's advanced training from the University of Pennsylvania ensures you receive expert care for even the most complex periodontal and implant cases.
