Questions
About a visit with a periodontist
What is a periodontist?
A dentist who completed an accredited residency in periodontics after dental school. Each of ours is listed, with training and board, on the About page.
Do you do crowns or fillings?
No. Your own dentist does those. We write to your office when we are done.
