Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step toward better periodontal health. My staff and I are enthusiastic about providing you with top quality care. We also want to make your visit to our practice as pleasant and as comfortable as possible. Please feel free to use this website as a resource to answer any questions you may have about our practice, periodontal disease or dental implants.
A periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses exclusively on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, as well as the placement of dental implants.
While all dentists receive foundational training in dental health, periodontists complete an additional three years of specialized university education beyond their initial dental degree. This advanced training equips them with deep expertise in managing complex gum tissues, bone structure, and surgical implant procedures.
Dr. Ken Crasta is a registered specialist periodontist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
Advanced Expertise in Complex Cases: From aggressive periodontitis to intricate bone grafting and tissue regeneration, periodontists manage complex conditions that go beyond general dental care.
Precision Dental Implant Placement: Because implants rely heavily on healthy surrounding bone and gum architecture, having a specialist handle placement ensures long-term functional stability and aesthetic success.
Comprehensive Treatment Modalities: Beyond surgery, periodontists utilise specialised non-surgical therapies, cosmetic gum procedures (such as crown lengthening and gum grafting), and microsurgical techniques tailored to each patient.
