Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium posts fused with jawbone. This service restores chewing function and prevents bone loss. Our specialists use guided surgery and 3D imaging for precise placement.

Efficient and professional. My hygienist made me feel very comfortable. I got through my deep cleaning with just a topical numbing agent. Would give a five for the nitros gas though.

Needless to say, one does not go to a periodontist without some apprehensions. For DC Perio & Implants. those apprehensions are quickly dissipated. I was treated straightforwardly from the initial setting of my appointment for a tooth extraction (and start of the process to a tooth implant) to the day of the appointment. The front office was efficient and polite in getting me ready for the procedure.
When I was taken in, the equipment appeared to be state of the art and clean. There were two assistants who prepped me for the procedure; were personable and clearly concerned about my comfort. They explained the process of the procedure and clearly explained the requirements and steps following the procedure. Dr Abron came in; was friendly and clearly responsive to my request for a description of the process. The anesthetic and following process were performed expeditously and with explanation to me. I look forward to the rest of the process culminating in the tooth implant.

Dr. Abron is very knowledgeable and very thorough! I was referred to have a separate consultation for my condition through my general Dentist. His staff made a smooth, efficient visit (including taking great Covid precautions). I wish more medical providers would take the time to explain the options in such great detail and present the financial breakdown in a simple way.

I would recommend DC Perio & Implants to anyone. I have seven implants, and they were all done well. I also see Melissa for tooth cleaning, and she is excellent.

If anything positive can be said about having a tooth molar pulled; unexpectedly it can be said about Dr. Abron, DDS, MD. I was his last appointment on December 30th -- he took extra time to complete what was not scheduled, did so painlessly for me. I was able to walk home afterward and healed smoothly, according to the printout I went home with. He even took time to call day after to check on me. Thought he was great, as was his staff.

I found DC Perio & Implants through the recommendation of my dentist, and had gum graft surgery here in June 2021. Dr. Abron did an amazing job! He even answered my text over the weekend when I was concerned about one of the surgery sites. The staff is kind and friendly, and importantly, they make sure you know how much you'll owe out of pocket before your procedure. Would recommend!

The staff and doctors at DC Perio were polite, professional, and attentive. I've never loved going to the dentist and I was particularly stressed about having a tooth extracted, but the assistant that stayed with me the whole time and the doctor that did the procedure treated me with care and attention. The "laughing gas" was administered effectively and the procedure went without issue. I even received a follow-up call from the doctor later in the evening making sure I was OK and if I had any questions. While I hope to not need to have more dental work done, I can say enthusiastically say I received great care at DC Perio.
