What does a periodontist do?
Periodontists treat the gums and the bone supporting your teeth — gum disease, gum recession, and dental implant placement. See one if you have bleeding gums that don't improve, loose teeth, or you've been told you need gum surgery or an implant.

Do I need a referral?
Usually no — you can book directly with most specialists, though many patients arrive by referral from their general dentist, and some insurance plans reimburse better with one. If you're not sure this is the right specialist, start with a general dentist near you or check asymptom guide.
