Transform Your Smile with Expert Dental Implants at Baton Rouge Periodontics & Implants

If you're living with missing teeth, you know how much it impacts your daily life, from chewing your favorite foods to smiling with confidence. At Baton Rouge Periodontics & Implants, we believe everyone deserves a healthy, beautiful smile. Led by board-certified periodontist  Jenny Herman, DDS, MSD, our practice in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, provides personalized care to restore your oral health. 

We specialize in advanced tooth replacement options, with a primary focus on dental implants. These durable, natural-looking restorations do more than just fill the gaps in your smile; they actually fuse with your jawbone to provide unmatched stability.

Why are dental implants the gold standard for tooth replacement?

Dental implants are the premier solution for missing teeth because they mimic the natural structure of your tooth roots. Through a biological process called osseointegration, the titanium implant post fuses directly with your jawbone, preventing bone loss and keeping your replacement teeth securely in place.

According to a massive clinical analysis published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH, 2024), dental implants have an outstanding overall baseline survival rate of 97.79%. This high success rate makes them one of the most predictable and reliable procedures in modern dentistry. 

To ensure your implant has a strong foundation, we also offer specialized preparatory procedures. If you have experienced bone loss in your jaw, we can perform bone grafting or a sinus lift to rebuild the necessary support before your implant placement.

How do we protect your dental implants from gum disease?

Protecting your dental implants from gum disease requires a combination of precise surgical placement and diligent, ongoing professional maintenance. While implants cannot get cavities, they are still vulnerable to a form of gum disease called peri-implantitis, which can cause inflammation and bone loss around the implant if left untreated. 

To safeguard your investment, we emphasize customized periodontal maintenance plans. During your regular oral examination at our Baton Rouge, LA office, we carefully monitor your gums and use gentle, specialized cleaning techniques to remove harmful bacteria without scratching your implants.

Your Path to a Restored Smile

Your journey to a healthier, more confident smile starts with an expert evaluation. Whether you need to replace a single tooth or require comprehensive care for gum recession, Dr. Herman and our dedicated team are here to guide you every step of the way.
