A periodontist is a dentist with advanced training in treating and preventing periodontal (literally "around the teeth") conditions such as gingivitis (inflammation of the gums). Periodontists also place dental implants in the case of missing teeth.
A periodonitist performed surgery on my guns, grafting tissue over an area of my gums that was starting to recede. Could a dentist have done this? Possibly. However, a periodontist will have advanced training and knowledge of new procedures, treatments, equipment, and medication that a general dentist might not have.
Hopefully your periodontal treatment has been effective enough you will be able to discontinue your visits. Yes, there is a difference in what a periodontist and a dentist charge; a periodontist must have several extra years of training after he/she becomes a dentist.

If you are seeing a Periodontist that means your teeth are not doing so well. So you are there for treatment that a regular dentist cannot help you with.

Once you've been to the specialist, the maintenance care can be appropriately given by either one. The specialist will charge more for the maintenance visits.
