Dr. Sade has joined Dr. Kotack at his office to provide his expertise in the area or periodontics to patients who demonstrate the need for more advanced periodontal therapy.
Dr. Kotack will be referring his patients directly to Dr. Sade who will diagnose and treat those patients in the comfort of Dr. Kotack's practice with follow-up treatment by our hygienist.
Periodontics is the specialty in dentistry that deals with gums and supporting tissues of the teeth. When problems arise within these tissues that are not easily managed by the more general techniques typically used in dentistry, special treatments and techniques are used by periodontists to bring about a healthier and more manageable gum and bone condition. These specialized techniques are used to prolong the life of the teeth so as to minimize the need for dentures and bridgework.
This specialty also includes the area of implantology. Missing teeth can be replaced or loose fitting dentures can utilize titanium metal “roots” which are implanted into the jawbone. Subsequent bridgework or dentures allow for “teeth” to be affixed to the implant restoring function and cosmetics.
