Looking for a dental specialist to help you replace failing or missing teeth, tackle gum disease or simply improve your smile cosmetically? Our doctors can help you. And they’re especially able to do so as board-certified periodontists.

What’s a Periodontist?

Periodontists are all doctors of dental surgery (DDS) or doctors of dental medicine (DMD), just like regular dentists. However, periodontists then complete an additional three years of specialized training focusing on gum health and dental implant surgery.

Some periodontists, like our director Dr. Philip L. Fava, as well as our Doctors Eric Schoenebeck and Dmitriy Klass, then commit to additional education and testing after this training which allows them to take a special test to qualify as board-certified periodontists.

What Does This Qualification Signify?

When you select a board-certified periodontist for treatment of periodontal disease and/or dental implant placement, you’re in the hands of a specialist who is recognized as a preferred provider for your periodontal needs, one who will work closely with your restorative dentist and other dental specialists as needed to provide you with the best and most comprehensive oral health care.

Board certification in periodontology requires education and the taking of written and oral examinations. Practitioners must continue their education to maintain certification.
