Common Question from Ft. Lauderdale Patients – What Are Periodontists?

We’re asked a lot of questions here in the office!

One very typical question we’re asked from our Ft. Lauderdale patients is, “What Are Periodontists?” 

Very simply, periodontists are dentists who specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal gum disease and provide treatment options including Laser Gum Surgery, cosmetic periodontal surgery and options for dental implants.

Periodontists, like Dr. Nick DeTure, receive extensive training in these areas, including three additional years of education beyond dental school.

Meet Dr. DeTure here and learn more about North Broward Perio here.
