A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease and in the placement and maintenance of dental implants. Periodontists are experts in the treatment of all forms of periodontal disease, including gingivitis, periodontitis, and gingival recession.

The American Dental Association recognizes periodontics as one of the nine specialties of dentistry. Periodontists receive extensive training, including three years of additional education beyond dental school.

By choosing a specialist you will benefit from the latest procedures for treating periodontal disease and placing dental implants tailored to your needs. In addition, Dr. Laudenbach can perform cosmetic periodontal procedures to help you achieve the smile you desire.

Dr. Jay Laudenbach is a member of the American Academy of Periodontology and is board certified by the American Board of Periodontology. Please click here for more information about the field of periodontics.
