Gainesville Periodontist - Dr. Richard W. Oliver, Jr., DMD - Gum Disease and Dental Implant Therapy
First and foremost, We Save Teeth! Periodontal disease (periodontitis) is an oral infection that involves loss of the bone and gum tissue around the teeth. It is the most common infection found in humans as well as the primary cause of tooth loss in adults. It is estimated that 95% of the population will have some type of attachment loss by the age of 65 and that 50% of the adult population has untreated moderate to advanced periodontal disease. As a periodontal surgeon, Dr. Oliver is extensively trained and uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat periodontal disease as well as the reconstruction and rehabilitation of missing gum, jawbone and teeth. If teeth are missing or lost, Dr. Oliver has expert experience with jawbone regeneration and dental implant rehabilitation having placed several thousand dental implants over the last 25+ years.
