If you live in a city, you could have many periodontists to choose from. DenScore will help you find the best periodontist so you can get the most appropriate and affordable care.

What is a periodontist and when should I see one?

Periodontists specialize in treating gum disease, performing gum surgeries and placing dental implants. When the gums become inflamed, develop abscesses or when bone loss occurs around the teeth, periodontal treatment is often necessary. Also, most periodontists are highly skilled and experienced in performing dental implant surgeries to replace missing teeth.

How does DenScore determine who the best periodontists are?

DenScore rates periodontists based on clinical qualifications, patient satisfaction, scheduling flexibility, and other criteria. While periodontists may request inclusion in our directories, they are thoroughly vetted and must meet our strict quality control standards to be listed. Some of the periodontists listed below may pay for a sponsored listing or agree to put a DenScore badge on their website in order to be recognized, but they are held to the same strict quality control guidelines as every other provider on this list. Whether you choose a periodontist from this list or not, we always recommend doing your own research beforehand. For more information, please refer to our Terms of Service.

Will dental insurance help me save money on periodontal procedures?

Most dental insurance plans cover about 50% of the cost of periodontal procedures if you see an in-network provider. For families with Medicaid, periodontal treatment is typically covered for children. However, in some states, Medicaid does not cover these procedures for adults. For elderly patients, regular Medicare does not include dental care, but many Medicare Advantage plans cover periodontal procedures, helping seniors save on dental expenses. If you’re looking for a dental insurance plan to help you save the most on dental care, we created this checklist for you!

What are other ways to spend less money on dental care?

The best way to save money on dental care is to prevent problems from starting in the first place. Maintaining good oral hygiene, limiting sugar intake, and avoiding tobacco products will keep your teeth and gums healthy over time. If you don’t have dental insurance, some dentists offer membership plans that make dental care more affordable. Additionally, dental prices can vary widely, so we recommend calling a few dental offices to compare costs for the same procedure when paying with cash.

What else do I need to know about periodontal treatment?

There are often several treatment options for replacing missing teeth and managing periodontal disease. While some general dentists can perform procedures like placing dental implants, it’s often beneficial to see a periodontist. Periodontists receive advanced training and typically have more experience in these specialized treatments compared to general dentists.
