Dr. Csiszar, Dr. Kehler and their team provide the highest standards in periodontal diagnosis, treatment and patient care.
We provide comprehensive periodontal care to our patients. About half of the population is affected by some form of periodontal (gum) disease. Our goal is to provide you with thorough understanding of your dental issues and what can be done to help you achieve periodontal health.
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontists receive extensive training in these areas, including three additional years of education beyond dental school.
Gum disease is one of the most common dental problems adults face, but gum disease can begin at just about any age. Gum disease often develops slowly and without causing any pain. Sometimes you may not notice any signs until the disease is serious and you are in danger of losing teeth.
Gum grafts can be used to cover roots or develop gum tissue where absent due to excessive gingival recession. During gum graft surgery, your periodontist takes gum tissue from your palate or another donor source to cover the exposed root.
A dental implant is an artificial root made of titanium metal. It is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of the natural tooth. An artificial replacement tooth is attached to the implant. The implant acts as an anchor to hold the replacement tooth in place.
Dr. Csiszar and Dr. Kehler are both Board Certified Periodontists and offer expertise in a full scope of periodontal procedures. They are familiar with the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating periodontal disease, dental implant placement and gum grafting.
