Periodontology

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.

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.
