Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a periodontist?
While many patients are referred by their general dentist, a referral is not required. You are welcome to contact our office directly to schedule a consultation.
How long will my appointment take?
Initial consultations typically last 60 to 90 minutes. Follow-up appointments and procedures vary in length depending on the type of treatment.
Will my procedure be painful?
We prioritize your comfort at every step. Local anesthesia is used for all procedures, and sedation options are available for patients who experience anxiety. Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after treatment.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring a photo ID, your insurance card, completed patient forms (available for download on our New Patients page), a list of current medications, and any X-rays or referral notes from your dentist.
