Dental Implants & Periodontics in Pittsburgh

Experience the Best in Patient Care

Greater Pittsburgh Dental Implants & Periodontics has been a leading provider of expert dental implant and gum treatment since 1982. We use the latest digital technologies to ensure accurate diagnoses and precise, comfortable periodontal and implant treatment.

Our doctors and staff prioritize your comfort in everything we do, whether you are here for a periodontal maintenance cleaning or need a full set of implant-supported teeth with our TeethToday® procedure.

State-of-the-art Treatment

Our office was one of the first to provide dental implant services in the Greater Pittsburgh area, and we have been at the forefront of the latest implant technologies ever since.

We are also one of the only practices in the area that provides non-surgical gum disease treatment with the Perioscope. This state-of-the-art periodontal device is an effective alternative to traditional treatment of moderate and severe periodontitis.

We offer advanced treatments to support healing and better oral health, including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), and Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT). PRP and PRF use your blood’s natural growth factors to speed healing and improve surgical results. GBT is a modern, gentle cleaning method that effectively highlights and removes plaque and bacteria. These treatments help promote faster healing, cleaner teeth, and better oral health.

Why You Need a Periodontist for your dental implants or gum treatment

Periodontists specialize in gum health and bone support, which are crucial for successful implant placement. Due to their advanced training, they treat gum disease, manage bone loss and perform cosmetic gum procedures with the utmost precision and efficiency. Periodontists offer minimally invasive techniques, ensuring better outcomes and faster recovery. They are also experts at handling complications and complex cases. By creating customized treatment plans and working with other specialists, periodontists ensure comprehensive care for both implants and gum health, increasing the chances of long-term success.
