Periodontist in Austin
A periodontist is the dental specialist for the gums, the bone that supports your teeth, and dental implants. If you’ve been referred for specialist care — or you’re dealing with bleeding gums, gum recession, loose teeth, or missing teeth — our Austin practice is led by Dr. Jane Smith, a specialist-trained periodontist and oral plastic reconstructive surgeon with many years of experience.
The focus is straightforward: protect your natural teeth wherever possible, rebuild what has been lost, and restore a healthy, comfortable smile — using minimally invasive, patient-centered techniques and working in step with your general dentist.
What a periodontist treats
These are the most common reasons patients in Austin are referred to or seek out a periodontist. Each links to a plain-language guide.
Gum disease
From early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis — scaling and root planing through to surgical and regenerative treatment.

Single-tooth, multiple-tooth, and full-arch implant placement, including complex cases.
Learn more →Bone loss & grafting
Bone grafting, ridge augmentation, and sinus elevation to rebuild a foundation for treatment.
Learn more →Gum recession & grafting
Soft-tissue grafting and periodontal plastic surgery to cover exposed roots and restore the gumline.
Learn more →Why choose Dr. Smith
Dr. Smith brings advanced specialty training in Periodontics, and many years teaching and lecturing on periodontal surgery, implant reconstruction, and bone grafting. That depth matters most in difficult cases — severe periodontal disease, significant bone loss, failing teeth, and patients who may have been told their situation was hopeless elsewhere.
For patients, that translates into careful diagnosis, honest options explained in plain language, and a calm, conservative approach that prioritizes long-term health and natural-looking results. Meet Dr. Smith →
