Company Description

While a general dentist provides oral care support that meets the needs of most patients, there are times when specialized treatment from a periodontist is necessary. Periodontists specialize in diagnosing, treating, and preventing periodontal disease. While general dentists can support the health of your gums through regular cleanings and/or scaling and root planning procedures, patients who have more advanced gum disease may need the support of a periodontist. Periodontists can provide a wide range of treatments, but specialize in diagnosing and treating gum disease, providing cosmetic support, and placing, maintaining, and repairing dental implants. We are proud to provide a state-of-the-art facility for the highest quality dental care available. It is one of our top priorities to protect the well-being of our valued patients. For this reason, our office meets and surpasses all OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and CDC (Center for Disease Control) standards. We are confident that you will feel right at home in our office as we welcome all patients as if they were family.
