Periodontics for Orthodontics
Tooth Uncovery: Sometimes teeth do not erupt through the gums for a variety of reasons. With the assistance of a Periodontist, a bracket can be applied to the un-erupted tooth then which the Orthodontist brings the tooth to its normal position.
Periodontal Disease: The presence of untreated periodontal disease can lead to advancing bone loss if orthodontic movement is applied. All patients needing braces should have healthy gums prior to starting orthodontic treatment. For more information on periodontal disease, please go to the periodontal disease link.
Gingival Recession: In certain cases, certain orthodontic movements can lead or enhance gum recession. A consultation by a Periodontist will provide the patient a clearer idea as to how to treat and when to treat the gum recession in respect to when the braces are put on. For more information on gum recession, please go to the gum recession link.

This is my second visit with Dr. Cho. The whole experience was top notch. During the oral surgery, I was somewhat nervous, but Dr. Cho made sure that I was feeling comfortable. Overall, a wonderful experience! I love his office staff as well. Everyone is very courteous and friendly. Thank you!

Have only met him once but I can tell he is very attentive and from his web site information, I am confident he's excellent in his field. Also my previous periodontist who has retired recommended Dr Cho.
