North Shore Periodontics

North Shore Periodontics, located at 5000 Skyview Court in Traverse City, MI, is a dental clinic specializing in periodontics and dental implants. The practice is primarily led by Dr. Joseph Amalfitano, a board-certified periodontist with over 20 years of experience in the Traverse City area. The clinic is also associated with the "Amalfitano Center for Dental Implants and Periodontics" and is recognized for its expertise in fixed full-mouth dental implants and LANAP® laser treatment, a minimally invasive option for periodontal disease. North Shore Periodontics offers a wide range of services focused on the health of gums and the supporting structures of teeth. These services include the diagnosis and treatment of various gum conditions, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, through procedures like scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), osseous surgery, and laser therapy. They also specialize in gum grafts for gum recession and bone grafts to regenerate bone lost due to infection. A significant aspect of their practice is dental implant placement, including complex cases and full-arch rehabilitations like "Teeth in a Day" or "All-on-4" procedures, which can often eliminate the need for bone grafting and reduce treatment time. The clinic emphasizes a patient-centric approach, aiming to provide a comfortable and welcoming environment. They are equipped with modern diagnostic tools and treatment facilities, including 3D imaging and laser equipment. Patients frequently commend Dr. Amalfitano and his staff for their professionalism, thorough explanations of procedures, and compassionate care. The practice works closely with referring general dentists but also welcomes patients without referrals, offering flexible scheduling and convenient online booking.
