West Michigan Periodontics

West Michigan Periodontics is a specialized dental clinic dedicated to periodontology, the branch of dentistry focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease, and the placement of dental implants. The practice is led by Dr. Brian Cilla, DDS, MS, who is a native of West Michigan and completed his Master's degree in Periodontology in 1987 from the University of Michigan. The clinic operates with a patient-centered philosophy, emphasizing conservative treatment approaches to achieve the best possible functional and aesthetic results. They prioritize patient comfort, education, and comprehensive care, working closely with each individual to develop tailored treatment plans. West Michigan Periodontics also collaborates with general dentists in the area to provide integrated and thorough oral healthcare. Services offered at West Michigan Periodontics include a wide array of surgical and non-surgical periodontal treatments. Non-surgical methods primarily involve scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure to remove plaque and calculus and smooth tooth root surfaces. For more advanced cases, surgical options are available, such as osseous surgery to eliminate gum pockets, gingival (gum) grafting procedures to address gum recession, and crown lengthening to expose more tooth structure for restorative work. The clinic also specializes in bone grafting to restore lost bone tissue and is highly proficient in dental implant placement and repair, offering a permanent solution for missing teeth. Additionally, they conduct comprehensive periodontal evaluations and oral cancer screenings. West Michigan Periodontics has two convenient locations, one in Norton Shores (Muskegon) and another in Grand Rapids, Michigan, making their specialized services accessible to a broader community. The team is committed to providing exceptional care, as reflected in patient testimonials that highlight their professionalism, kindness, and ability to alleviate dental anxiety. They prioritize infection control and stay updated with the latest guidelines to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all patients.
