Why see a periodontist

Gums are the foundation of a healthy smile.

Specialty training

Periodontists complete years of specialty training beyond dental school in diagnosing and treating gum disease and gum recession, and in placing dental implants.

Advanced gum & implant care

From deep cleanings and scaling to gum grafting, crown lengthening, and implant placement — our periodontists handle the treatments a general dentist typically refers out.

Close to home

Our periodontists work across Ideal Dental offices throughout Dallas–Fort Worth, so specialist gum and implant care is available at the practice you already know.

In-network specialists

Specialist care that stays in your network.

Many periodontists in private practice are out-of-network, which can mean a referral to a stranger and a bigger bill. Our periodontists are in-network with many major PPO dental plans and practice in the Ideal Dental offices you already know.

In-network with major PPO plans

Put your existing dental benefits toward specialist gum and implant care, instead of paying out-of-network rates.

No referral to a stranger

Your care stays within the practice, records, and team you already trust. No starting over somewhere new.

Trusted by other dentists

Independent dentists across the area refer their patients to our periodontists for advanced gum and implant care.

Coverage varies by plan and location — we'll verify your benefits before any treatment begins.

Excellent communicators and very attentive, making sure I was very comfortable every step of the way during my deep cleaning and implementing my perio-chips.

I needed perio work done today. I’ve never had this done before and was nervous. The staff was quite accommodating, informative and friendly.

I often visit this office for services like perio care and previously for my braces, and every experience has been positive. The doctors, including those who come in monthly, are absolutely phenomenal.

Common questions

Questions patients ask us

What does a periodontist do?

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease, and in placing dental implants. They handle deeper gum problems and surgical care that go beyond a routine cleaning — including scaling and root planing, gum grafting, crown lengthening, and implant placement.

When should I see a periodontist instead of my regular dentist?

Your general dentist may refer you to a periodontist if you have bleeding or receding gums, loose teeth, persistent bad breath, or if you're considering dental implants. At Ideal Dental, that referral often stays in-house — one of our periodontists can see you at an office you already know.

Do I need a referral to see one of your periodontists?

No referral is required. You can request a consultation directly, and our team will help match you to the nearest DFW office where one of our periodontists practices.

Where do your periodontists practice?

Our periodontists see patients at Ideal Dental offices across the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Share your details and a specialist will help match you to the closest location for gum or implant care.

Do you take insurance, and what if we don't have any?

Ideal Dental accepts most major insurance plans, and no insurance is required to be seen. New guests can receive a $39 comprehensive exam and full digital x-rays (regularly $289), and our team can walk you through membership and financing options during your callback.

What happens after I submit the form?

A periodontal specialist from our team calls you back, usually the same day, to answer your questions, find a time that works, and match you to the closest DFW office. There's no online scheduler to navigate and no obligation.

Expert gum and implant care, close to home.

Request a callback from our periodontal team and we'll take care of the rest — the time, the location, and a clear plan for your care.
