Benefits of Working with a Periodontist
Any problems linked to gum health must be treated by a doctor that specializes in periodontics. Dr. Park and (retired) Dr. Lamb are experienced periodontists with more than 16 years of experience in the field. They not only treat gum disease but also perform several gum reshaping and grafting procedures that can improve the overall health and appearance of your smile.

Visiting a periodontist is even more important if you are at risk for gum disease or have been treated for gum disease in the past. Many patients do not realize that periodontal disease can become a recurring condition if plaque and tartar start to develop again around the gum line. This is why it is so important for patients to stick with a periodontal maintenance schedule of treatments. Regular deep cleanings and checkups by a periodontics specialist can help to keep the gums free of any infection that may be developing deep below the gum line.
Periodontists are specially trained in the following treatments and procedures:
- Gum disease treatment
- Dental implants
- Gingivectomy
- Gum grafting
- Crown lengthening
- Osseous surgery
- Bone grafting
Choose an Experienced Periodontist
Dr. Park and (retired) Dr. Lamb have completed advanced training in several periodontal procedures so patients can expect consistently great results with treatment. Seeing a skilled periodontist for procedures such as gum grafting, crown lengthening, and bone grafting ensures patients get the results they want and reduce the risk of gum tissue damage. Even though Dr. Park and (retired) Dr. Lamb specialize in periodontal care, they also perform several procedures that can help to rebuild and protect the teeth. We focus on saving as much of the tooth structure as possible at our practice. Dr. Park and (retired) Dr. Lamb will only perform tooth extraction when absolutely necessary and if a tooth has to be removed, we offer dental implant placement services to complete the restoration process.
