A periodontist is a dental specialist focused on the health of the gums and the supporting structures around teeth. The term is commonly used when patients are referred for gum disease (periodontal disease) evaluation and treatment. It is also used in implant dentistry, since gum and bone support affect implant stability and long-term maintenance. In dental education and clinics, periodontist refers to both the specialist and the periodontal specialty area.
