Periodontology
Postle Hall, 2nd Floor
Park in 12th Ave. Garage
Overview
The periodontal residents offer a full range of periodontal procedures which include scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), soft tissue grafting (gum grafts), bone grafting (to treat periodontal disease), implant surgery (for the replacement of teeth) and a wide variety of other periodontal procedures, such as treatment of gummy smiles.
Scheduling
Patients will need a referral from their general dentist explaining the reason that periodontal treatment is needed. The referral form to Periodontology must be completed and emailed by your general dentist’s office.
Email: PeriodonticsClinic@osu.edu
Once our office has received your referral, we will add you to our list to be scheduled. Your scheduling will be dictated by appointment availability. Due to large patient population we serve, there may be a significant wait for your scheduled appointment.
In all cases, your first appointment with us will be for a consultation. This enables our practitioners to meet you, perform an examination, discuss treatment and anesthetic options with you, and present you with a comprehensive treatment plan including an estimate of your financial liability.
Cancellation Policy
Appointments cancelled with less than 48 business hours' notice are considered broken appointments.
For consultations, a patient may be dismissed from care after two broken appointments. For surgery appointments, a patient may be dismissed from care after one broken appointment. Should you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please contact us as early as possible.

At your first appointment, we will review your medical history and perform a comprehensive periodontal examination. We will also take x-rays, unless your dentist has sent acceptable x-rays to us or you bring them to the appointment with you. The examination will allow us to develop a treatment plan including an estimate of your financial liability. Future appointments will be scheduled to resolve any problems and maintain your oral health. Your first appointment with us will not be for treatment or surgical services.
