Periodontists specialize in procedures and techniques related to periodontology. Periodontology is the study of the structures that support the teeth such as the gums and maxilla. Periodontists work to treat and prevent disease and conditions that affect the periodontal structures. Common practices prevent tooth loss by treating gum diseases such as gingivitis and other disease that lead to the deterioration of periodontium tissue. Periodontists also work to maintain and surgically place dental implants.
