Gum disease does not always announce itself with obvious pain, and by the time most people notice something is wrong, the condition may have already advanced beyond what routine dental cleanings can address. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 4 in 10 U.S. adults 30 years or older have some level of periodontitis, making access to a qualified dental specialist one of the most important decisions a person can make for their long-term oral health.

Rockland Dental Specialists is proud to serve patients throughout Rockland County, including those living and working in the Spring Valley area. Our periodontics team is led by Dr. Shalom Mintz, who is board-certified in periodontics and implantology, and Dr. David Peto, a periodontist committed to providing thorough, patient-centered care. With over 24 years of combined experience in periodontics, implants, and endodontics, we offer the advanced care Spring Valley patients deserve close to home.

Periodontal Care for Spring Valley Patients

Periodontics is the foundation of everything we do at Rockland Dental Specialists. The gums and the bone that support your teeth determine whether those teeth stay healthy and stable for the long term, and problems in these structures rarely resolve on their own. Gum disease, in particular, is far more common than most patients realize — the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research notes that periodontal disease is one of the most widespread chronic conditions affecting American adults.

Our periodontal services address the full spectrum of disease severity and tissue needs. The options available to Spring Valley patients include:

Dental Implants Near Spring Valley

For patients who have lost one or more teeth, dental implants offer the most durable and natural-feeling tooth replacement available. Because implants replace a tooth at the root level, they preserve jawbone density, maintain the integrity of neighboring teeth, and allow patients to eat and speak without the limitations of removable prosthetics.

As a board-certified implantologist, Dr. Mintz brings a level of credential and focus to implant placement that goes beyond what is available at a general dental practice. Every implant case begins with advanced 3D imaging to assess bone volume and tissue quality before a single incision is made. For patients who require preparatory work — such as bone grafting, socket preservation, or gum disease treatment — all of that care is managed within our practice before placement proceeds.

Spring Valley patients who have experienced significant tooth loss may also be candidates for All-on-4 implants, a full-arch restoration approach that replaces an entire upper or lower arch using four strategically positioned implant posts.

Endodontic Services

Our practice also provides endodontic care for patients dealing with tooth pain, infection, or damage that affects the inner pulp of a tooth. Root canal therapy, endodontic retreatment for previously treated teeth, and root amputation are among the services available to Spring Valley patients who need this level of care. Having endodontic services available within the same practice as periodontics and implants means patients with complex or overlapping dental needs can receive coordinated treatment from providers who communicate directly with one another.

What Sets Rockland Dental Specialists Apart

Spring Valley residents have options when it comes to dental care, but few practices in the region offer the combination of board certification, multi-specialty depth, and patient-centered amenities that define Rockland Dental Specialists. Dr. Mintz’s credentials, approach, and clinical philosophy are detailed on his provider profile, and reflect a standard of training that extends well beyond general dentistry.

The following highlights what Spring Valley patients can expect when they choose our practice:

• Board-certified periodontics and implantology under one roof
• A dedicated periodontal team including Dr. Mintz and Dr. David Peto
• Advanced 3D imaging technology for precise diagnosis and treatment planning
