Detailed Introduction
Commonwealth Periodontics & Implant Center is a dedicated dental clinic with locations in London, KY, and Somerset, KY, specializing in periodontics and dental implantology. Founded in July 1991 by Dr. Susan Ballou Gibson, the practice is committed to providing high-quality, specialized care for gum health and tooth replacement.
The clinic offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to address various periodontal and restorative needs. Their core offerings include dental implants, ranging from single tooth replacements to full arch and All-on-X solutions, which provide stable and natural-looking alternatives to dentures. To support successful implant placement, they perform bone and sinus grafts, crucial for patients with insufficient jawbone density.
Commonwealth Periodontics & Implant Center also excels in advanced periodontal treatments, such as Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP), a minimally invasive laser therapy for gum disease that promotes faster healing and preserves natural tissue. Other periodontal services include scaling and root planing, gum and tissue grafts, gingival contouring, and ongoing periodontal maintenance programs to prevent disease recurrence.
The clinic emphasizes the use of state-of-the-art technology, including digital X-rays and Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scans, for precise diagnostics and treatment planning. They prioritize patient comfort by offering various sedation options, including intravenous sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide. The team, including highly experienced periodontists like Dr. Susan Ballou Gibson, Dr. Carroll, and Dr. Lucy Belcher, focuses on personalized treatment plans, ensuring each patient receives care tailored to their unique oral health goals. They are committed to continuous learning and utilize the latest techniques in the field.
