What should you look for when choosing a Periodontist?
Is your periodontist Board Certified?
When choosing a peridontist be sure that your peridontist is board certified.
Always ask because fewer than half of all periodontists are board certified. Hospitals require board certification for staffing. You should demand the same standards! Dr. Francis is board certified Diplomate of Periodontology, an exceptional status that only about 2000 peridontists have achieved since 1939. The highest recognitiong of acheivement afforded by the specialty, so you know your in good hands.
Can they help you avoid Surgery with Extended Non Surgical Treatment?
With extended Non Surgical Therapy, Dr. Francis is often able to eliminate the need for surgery and decrease the overall cost of care. Dr. Francis is not one to "jump" straight into surgery and put you, your body, or your pocketbook through anything more than necessary. He is great at helping patients go over all of their options and work out the best therapy avaliable.
Do they use the best technology avaliable in the industry such as:
A piezotome? This instrument is irreplacable in saving critical bone durning the extraction process and keeping your fragile sinus from rupturing during surgery. It is safer, gentler, and bone friendly. Make sure your specialist uses this instrument, as it may save you from a lot of pain and costly bone grafts in the future.
Membranes? Membranes can be used in a number of procedures to cover grafted sites and keep you in the best shape for osseointigration and natural healing of the body.
Hoya Con Bio Laser? Laser work is extreamly safe and sterile. The laser allows the tissue to cauterize as an inscision is made, minimizing bleeding and optimizing healing. It can create the most asthetic smile lines in gum surgery avaliable because of its precision and small diameter.
