Why Choose a Periodontist?

The Specialist Advantage

Specialized Training for Complex Gum & Bone Conditions

Just as a cardiologist specializes in the heart, a periodontist is a dental specialist dedicated exclusively to the gums, alveolar bone, and supporting structures that hold your teeth and dental implants securely in place.

After finishing 4 years of dental school, our periodontists completed 3 additional years of formal university surgical residency training accredited by the American Dental Association (ADA). This intensive specialty education focuses on microsurgery, complex bone grafting, tissue regeneration, and dental implantology.
