What Is A Periodontist?
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease and in the placement and maintenance of dental implants. Periodontists are experts in the treatment of all forms of periodontal disease, including gingivitis, periodontitis, and gingival recession.
What is a Periodontist
The American Dental Association recognizes periodontics as one of the nine specialties of dentistry. Periodontists receive extensive training, including three years of additional education beyond dental school. Our doctors are all Board Certified as Diplomates of the American Board of Periodontology. For more information about periodontal diseases, and periodontal treatment, in addition to our website, please visit ADA, American Academy of Perio., or the Academy of Osseointegration.
By choosing a specialist you will benefit from the latest procedures for treating periodontal disease and placing dental implants tailored to your needs. In addition, Dr. Pollack and Dr. Sarmiento can perform cosmetic periodontal procedures to help you achieve the smile you desire.
Your right to choose a dentist is an important freedom
We work closely with your dentist, but a referral by a dentist is not required to visit our office. We also welcome referrals from patients and friends of the practice.
We are extraordinarily proud of our staff, which is comprised of caring and dedicated professionals. They strive to ensure that each patient’s treatment and administrative needs are met as efficiently and smoothly as possible.
Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. We are here to listen to your questions and concerns and to help provide solutions leading to your better health. Please don’t hesitate to e-mail us (frontdesk@ppa-nyc.com) if you have any questions regarding your care, or call us at 212.838.0940. Our fax number is 212.355.4784.
