Periodontics
Periodontists are highly-trained dentists who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of the tissues around your teeth, also known as the periodontium.
Our compassionate and thorough periodontist, Dr. Nitya Reddy, has extensive training to become experts in gums, cheeks, teeth, and bone. Periodontists complete an extra three years of education beyond dental school–including in-depth surgical training–and are certified to place dental implants, treat periodontal disease and more.

WHY To See a Periodontist
Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums that can advance into a more severe form of the infection called periodontitis. You may experience red, swollen gums, discomfort or pain, loose teeth, and more. The symptoms can be troubling, which is why you need a trusted periodontist who can thoroughly address your dental needs. If you’re suffering from gingivitis or periodontal disease, we can help.
When you’re navigating periodontal disease, it’s important to remember you’re not alone. More than half of adults in the US are living with some form of periodontal disease. Being referred to a periodontist might be concerning, but it’s actually a positive step toward dental health.
Here’s what the consulting process entails:
- First, our periodontist carefully reviews your complete medical and dental history before your visit to develop a comprehensive understanding of your needs.
- Next, you’ll visit one of our serene dental offices to meet with your periodontist. It’s important to let them know if you’re taking any medications or dealing with new conditions like diabetes, pregnancy, or heart disease that might affect your care.
- Finally, your periodontist will complete an examination to assess the condition of your teeth and gums before developing a treatment plan.
