Alameda Perio + Implant Center

Welcome to our periodontal office. The goal of our office is to provide the best periodontal and dental implant care available anywhere in a caring environment. We strive to treat our patients individually with innovative, yet conservative care. We appreciate your interest in our office.

Some of the periodontal services we offer include preventive periodontics, regenerative periodontics, periodontal medicine, and esthetic periodontics. Our primary goal is to help you keep your healthy teeth for a lifetime. But if you are missing teeth and require implant(s), we have the finest implant systems available to replace from a single tooth up to replacing all teeth.

Because of the linkage between periodontal health and your general health, there are now more reasons than ever to attain and maintain oral health. The mission statement of our office is to help our patients achieve and maintain the highest level of health and well being.

I am proud of the outstanding team of dental professionals that I have assembled. Each one has important and unique talents they bring to our office. I hope your experience with my office is positive and rewarding.

Finances

Our goal is to help our patients. We understand that some treatment, particularly in advanced cases, can be a significant expense. If your treatment involves multiple procedures, they can usually be spaced out over time to accommodate your schedule and personal finances.

We are preferred providers with Delta Dental PPO Premier. If you’re a member of another PPO (for instance, Aetna, BlueCross, Cigna, Delta Dental, Guardian, Metlife), it’s likely that your insurance will still cover a good portion of your treatment. We will submit all necessary paperwork on your behalf.

If your insurance plan is an HMO or DPO, it will exclusively cover services by providers under that plan. Call the number on your insurance card for providers. We do not accept Denti-Cal or Medi-Cal. If you are seeking a Denti-Cal provider, please click here.
