FAQ

Do I need a referral to see a periodontist in Wilmington?

Cook Periodontics and Dental Implants states that it accepts new patients without a referral. Referral requirements can differ by practice and insurance plan, so confirm when scheduling.

What should I compare when choosing a periodontist for implants?

Ask whether the practice handles the specific procedure needed, such as bone grafting, peri-implantitis treatment, or full-arch implants, and whether it offers imaging and sedation appropriate for your case.

How much does periodontal treatment cost in New Hanover County?

The cost depends on the procedure, number of sites, imaging, sedation, insurance coverage, and whether grafting or implants are required. Request a written treatment estimate and ask what your insurance plan covers before treatment.

How long does dental implant treatment usually take?

The timeline depends on bone levels, grafting, healing, and the type of implant restoration. Wilmington Periodontics & Implant Center lists immediate implant loading and provisionalization, but not every patient is a candidate.

When is a gum problem an emergency?

Severe swelling, fever, facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or difficulty breathing or swallowing requires urgent dental or medical evaluation. Routine bleeding, gum recession, or loose teeth should be scheduled for a periodontal assessment.
