Healthy Gums for a Lifetime of Strong Teeth

At Al Bahri Dental and Orthodontic Center, we provide comprehensive periodontal care to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease. Under the guidance of our Harvard-educated, double board-certified prosthodontist, we focus on maintaining healthy gums, preserving natural teeth, and improving overall oral health.

What is Periodontics?

Periodontics is the dental specialty dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) and conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums, bone, and connective tissue. Healthy gums are critical not only for a beautiful smile but also for overall systemic health, as gum disease has been linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other health conditions.
