What is Periodontology?
Periodontology is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the supporting structures of teeth, along with the periodontal diseases that affect those structures. Periodontists concern themselves mainly with the gums, jaws, tooth roots, and the connective tissues that attach teeth to jaw bones.
When periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis, damage these different oral structures, the result can be bone loss and tooth loss. In fact, periodontal diseases are currently the primary cause of tooth loss for adults.

The Difference between a Dentist and a Periodontist
Dr. Bijan Afar, North Hollywood Periodontist, is an excellent general dentist, but his specialty is periodontal procedures. Patients seek Dr. Afar out not for a simple tooth cleaning, but for his reputation as one of southern California's premiere periodontists.
After graduating from the UCLA School of Dentistry, Dr. Afar, North Hollywood Implant Dentist, went on to receive the Dentist-Scientist Fellowship from the National Institute of Health because he was among the top 5% of graduating dental students in the United States. With his fellowship, Dr. Afar continued his dental education at the University of Washington in Seattle, focusing on Periodontics and Implant Dentistry.
As a North Hollywood implant dentist, Dr. Afar solves the problems associated with tooth loss every day. Dental implants are the superior choice for replacing lost teeth, because they are attached to the jaw bone and provide the most stable and secure alternative for restorations. Unlike dentures, dental implants are the closest substitute to real tooth roots available today, and they do not require damaging healthy adjacent teeth for placement.
Dr. Afar is a North Hollywood implant dentist and periodontist who understands how important a healthy, confident smile can be to the quality of his patients' lives. If you're looking for a North Hollywood periodontist, call his North Hollywood office or his Los Angeles office to receive top-rate care from one of Southern California’s best periodontists.
