Services
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement solutions that integrate with jawbone for stable prosthetic support. Ideal for patients with missing teeth seeking natural-looking, functional results. Our implant dentistry services include All-on-4, mini implants, and implant-supported dentures using advanced 3D imaging for precise placement.
LANAP Laser Therapy
FDA-cleared laser protocol for treating gum disease without cutting or stitching. This minimally invasive procedure removes infected tissue while preserving healthy structures. Patients benefit from faster healing, reduced discomfort, and tissue regeneration through the body's natural healing processes.
Gum Recession Repair
Specialized treatments addressing exposed tooth roots from gum recession. We offer traditional grafting and the innovative Pinhole Surgical Technique, both restoring gum aesthetics and protecting tooth integrity through collagen preservation and tissue repositioning.
Periodontal Maintenance
Comprehensive programs for managing and preventing progression of periodontal infections. Combines deep cleaning (scaling/root planing), antimicrobial treatments, and personalized home care education to control bacterial growth and maintain oral-systemic health connections.
Sedation Dentistry
Customized sedation options including NuCalm technology for patients with dental anxiety. Our protocols ensure comfortable treatment experiences through gentle relaxation methods that maintain patient safety while reducing procedural stress and discomfort.

We offer NuCalm technology and traditional sedation methods to ensure comfortable experiences for patients with dental anxiety.
How often should periodontal maintenance occur?
Typically every 3-4 months for patients with periodontal disease history, combined with personalized home care routines for optimal oral health.
What post-treatment follow-up do you provide?
We conduct post-operative phone check-ins and schedule regular maintenance visits to monitor healing and ensure long-term treatment success.

My experience with the Perio Dental group was outstanding? Everyone was on point with their part of this Dental implant process. From office manager to Dr. Brown himself including the Dental hygienist, desk employees, and all his assistants. I had 3 estimates. Dr. Brown was my 3rd estimate. The 2 others were cheaper BUT they never once mentioned my moderate gun disease. Dr. Brown picked up on it and I had to take care of this issue 1st before getting involved with the implant process. He showed me under the microscope all the different types of bacteria. Implants won't take or last with this issue

Ive had an amazing experience at the Perio Group.
Ive struggled with my periodontal health for years due to being underinsured and lack of consistent dental care in my twenties. I was told by my primary dentist that I may have to have my front teeth removed because of the increasing mobility. I was referred to another periodontist that accepted my insurance but they only did gum flap surgery and planned to remove at least 2 teeth. I wanted to see if there was a way to save my teeth so I started doing research online. I even looked into traveling to Mexico or Columbia for treatment.

Assistants at front desk very efficient and friendly. Excellent service by Dr, Brown and fellow dentists. The hygienist cleaning is one of the best! Recommend this office for periodontal work.
