Periodontist Business Cards for Gum Disease and Implant Dentistry

Periodontists are the dental specialists who have completed three additional years of post-doctoral training beyond dental school to specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease — and in the placement and maintenance of dental implants. They are among the most surgically active dental specialists, performing procedures from scaling and root planing to full-mouth reconstruction.
