Care during procedures is gentle and friendly. The follow-up routine is thorough; in addition to post-operative appointments, the first cleaning and oral hygiene instructions are done by the periodontist. Patients are sent back to the referring Doctor's office for maintenance and general dental care, and maintenance cleaning appointments are alternated between their office and ours. Our Doctor is easily accessible; office, cell and residence telephone numbers are given to all patients. Most insurance plans are accepted. Treatment plans are customized according to treatment priorities, and are sensitive to financial considerations.
