I recently had my stitches removed from a gum surgery. Kimberly did a great job of removing the stitches - painless and quick. I appreciate her experience and she made me feel comfortable throughout this process. thank you

Thank you, Tar Heel Periodontics – Raleigh, for the outstanding service, care and understanding when doing my tooth extraction and implant. What was extreme anxiety on my part was met with reassurance. My moment of panic was met with concern and quiet patience. Dr.

Stella, Assistants Saran and Aylin are absolutely top notch. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence with compassion made a notable difference, and I truly appreciate it. I would not hesitate to recommend this group. Five stars!

GET A SECOND OPINION. On a dentist’s referral, I visited Tar Heel Periodontics for a non-healing lesion on my son’s gum. The doctor initially raised concerns about cancer but quickly stated a 99. 99% certainty it was not cancerous, which was unsettling. After discussing the proposed treatment—a biopsy followed by a gum graft, antibiotics, and pain medication, with a cost exceeding $3,000—I felt a second opinion was necessary.

When I mentioned this, the doctor appeared displeased, which made me uncomfortable. Seeking an alternative, I consulted Dr. Perez at NuImage, and I’m grateful I did. Dr. Perez was professional, transparent, and answered all my questions thoroughly, putting both my son and me at ease.

He performed the biopsy using only local anesthesia, and no gum graft was needed, as he explained the gum tissue would heal naturally. My son required neither antibiotics nor pain medication and recovered quickly, resuming normal activities. The total cost was less than one-third of the initial estimate. I highly recommend NuImage for their excellent care and transparency, while my experience at Tar Heel Periodontics left me seeking a more reassuring and cost-effective option.
