When you lose a tooth, whether from decay, injury, or disease, the gap left behind affects more than just your smile. That empty space can impact how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. As your dentist at Bloomfield Dental, I've seen firsthand how dental implants can transform not just smiles, but lives.

When you think about dental professionals, your general dentist might be the first person who comes to mind. However, the world of dental care includes various specialists who focus on specific aspects of oral health. Among these specialists, periodontists play a crucial role that many patients aren't fully aware of until they experience gum-related issues.
