Frequently Asked Questions – Answered!

Are you looking for a periodontist in the Louisville area? You likely have some unanswered questions, so we’re here to help. Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we receive at our practice. If you don’t see the information that you are looking for below, don’t worry. Give us a call and we’d be happy to address your questions and concerns.

What Is the Difference Between a Periodontist and a Dentist?

The main difference between dentists and periodontists is that they have different focuses. A periodontist specifically works on maintaining gum health and resolving issues related to the gum tissue and the underlying bone that supports the teeth. General dentists will refer their patients to periodontists for more complex issues. Just like dentists, periodontists need to attend dental school, but they also must complete three years of additional training.

How Can You Make Periodontal Treatment More Affordable?

Dental insurance is an excellent tool to help make essential dental care more affordable. Dental visits at our practice are usually reimbursed by your flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health reimbursement accounts (HRAs), and health savings accounts (HSAs). We are also happy to accept payments through CareCredit and Proceed Finance. These third-party financing companies can split the cost of your treatment into manageable monthly installments with little to no interest. If you have any questions or need help applying, let a friendly member of our team know so they can help.

What Is the Best Way to Find a Dentist Who Does Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth! However, it’s important to do your homework before you choose a dental professional for this procedure. There are three types of dentists who specialize in placing dental implants – including periodontists. They are required to undergo three years of additional training to get the knowledge and skills they need to safely perform more advanced treatments and procedures, including dental implant placement.

What Level of Education Is Required to Be a Periodontist?

All dentists in the United States must have received either a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) from one of the 67 Accredited dental schools in the country. Acceptance into dental school requires a bachelor's degree. Dental school is three years with a combination of classroom and hands-on learning. Periodontists then continue their education with an additional three years of training. In addition to all of this, all dentists are required to complete a certain number of continuing education hours to keep their license.
