What is a periodontist?
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in preventing and treating periodontal disease and in placing dental implants. Dr. Rasmussen is a board-certified Diplomate with the American Board of Periodontology, which means that he has completed advanced training in these specialties and can competently help you get rid of the infection and replace your missing teeth if necessary. To learn more about Dr. Rasmussen, please visit his page on our website.
Do you really stay on time with your schedule?
Unlike many other dental offices, we adhere to our appointment times. We don’t leave our patients waiting—we create our schedule in such a way that every patient can get our undivided attention during their visit. To help us stay on track, please arrive on time. In fact, if you’re coming in for the first time, you can either fill out your new patient forms beforehand or you can arrive a little early in order to complete them here in our dental office. We look forward to being able to help you improve your smile!
I have lost all my teeth. Could I still be a good candidate for dental implants?
No matter how many teeth you’re missing, you may be a good candidate for dental implants. The minimum criteria consist of a healthy mouth and strong jaw bone. If you lack either one, Dr. Rasmussen can perform preliminary procedures that will help you qualify for this advanced treatment. And what’s more, he can replace your missing teeth with as few as four implants in a single arch! Schedule your consultation with us today to see if you can take advantage of this treatment.
My gums are red and swollen. Do I have gum disease?
You could. Swollen, red gums are a common sign of the early stage of gum disease called gingivitis. At this point, gum disease is relatively easy and simple to resolve. If you wait to get treatment, it could advance and cause gum recession, damage your jaw bone, and eventually lead to tooth loss. Regardless of the stage of your gum disease currently, you can seek treatment with Dr. Rasmussen, who has advanced training and the most innovative technology to help you overcome gum disease and regain your oral health.
