Feeling fine doesn’t always tell the whole story.

Some periodontal changes can be identified during a dental exam before they cause noticeable discomfort. That’s one reason your dentist may recommend having a specialist take a closer look.

A periodontal evaluation can provide more information about the health of your gums and the structures supporting your teeth—so you can better understand what’s happening and what your next steps may be.

What should I expect at my first periodontal appointment?

Your first visit is mainly about getting answers. The team will review your medical and dental history, listen to your concerns, evaluate your gums and teeth, and review any needed imaging or referral information.

They may measure gum pockets, assess recession, check bone support, and explain what they find in plain language.

Toothy’s takeaway: The first visit is about answers, not pressure.

Yes — periodontists can help with dental implants.

Because periodontists specialize in the gums and bone that support your teeth, they play an important role in evaluating, placing, and maintaining dental implants. The first step is making sure your gums and bone are healthy enough to support long-term success.

Dental implants start with a strong foundation.

Gum recession can happen for several reasons, including gum disease, brushing too hard, genetics, or bite-related issues. A periodontist can help determine the cause and talk through treatment options to protect your teeth and gum health.

Treatment options are often more successful when gum recession is caught early, before more tissue or bone support is lost.

If your gums are receding, they usually do not grow back on their own.

At Gaston Perio, we specialize in treating gum recession and helping patients protect the foundation of their smile.
