Pumphrey Periodontics & Dental Implant Therapy is a distinguished dental practice in Atlanta, Georgia, renowned for its specialization in periodontics and dental implant solutions. The practice operates with a strong commitment to providing comprehensive and compassionate care, focusing on both the health and aesthetics of a patient's smile. The practice is primarily led by Dr. David Pumphrey, who has been in private practice specializing in periodontics and dental implants since 1987. Dr. David Pumphrey is a highly respected figure in the field, having earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Emory University and completing specialized training in periodontics at Emory's Department of Periodontics. He also serves as a Clinical Professor of Periodontics at the Augusta School of Dentistry, where he lectures and publishes on implantology and tissue regeneration. More recently, Dr. Brock Pumphrey, a native Atlantan, has joined and expanded the practice, bringing his expertise and being board-certified in Periodontology and Dental Implant Surgery. Pumphrey Periodontics offers a wide array of services designed to address various periodontal needs and restore oral function. Key services include: Periodontal Disease Treatment: They provide comprehensive treatment for gum disease, ranging from non-surgical therapies like scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to advanced surgical procedures such as pocket reduction surgery, guided tissue regeneration to regrow lost bone and tissue, and laser therapy (including LANAP and LAPIP protocols) for minimally invasive treatment and tissue regeneration. Dental Implants: As a core specialty, the practice offers state-of-the-art dental implant solutions for replacing missing teeth. This includes titanium and ceramic implants, immediate implant placement, and full-arch solutions like All-on-4 or All-on-6, ensuring optimal aesthetics, function, and comfort. Cosmetic Periodontal Care: Services like aesthetic crown lengthening (gum lift) are offered to correct "gummy smiles" and expose more of the natural tooth structure, enhancing smile aesthetics. They also perform gum grafting procedures to address gum recession, using either the patient's own tissue or donor tissue, including minimally invasive techniques like the Pinhole Surgical Technique™. Extractions: While their priority is to preserve natural teeth, they provide swift, simple, and comfortable extractions when necessary, often offering sedation dentistry options to manage pain and anxiety. Other Specialized Procedures: This includes functional crown lengthening to prepare teeth for restorative work (like crowns), frenectomy, and osseous surgery. The practice prides itself on utilizing cutting-edge technology and evidence-based procedures to ensure precise diagnoses and effective, minimally invasive treatments. Their philosophy revolves around personalized care, with a strong emphasis on understanding each patient's unique needs and developing tailored treatment plans. They prioritize long-term oral health and work collaboratively with general dentists and other specialists to achieve optimal results. With multiple locations in Atlanta, including Midtown and Sandy Springs, Pumphrey Periodontics & Dental Implant Therapy is dedicated to providing accessible and high-quality periodontal and implant care to the community.
