William J. Cho, DDS, MS - Periodontist

Specialized periodontal care often gets overshadowed by general dentistry, but dental implants and gum health require a different level of precision. Periodontists focus on diagnosing and treating gum disease, performing gum grafts, and placing implants—procedures that demand both surgical skill and long-term maintenance planning. Unlike routine cleanings, these treatments address structural issues, from bone loss to receding gums. Many patients arrive after a general dentist refers them for complex cases involving guided tissue regeneration or implant-supported dentures. The distinction matters: while a dentist might handle fillings or crowns, a periodontist’s work often determines whether teeth—or their replacements—stay stable for decades.
