Dr. Thousand completed a Pocket Reduction a year ago to remove a tiny portion of the root of a tooth that caused a bump at the gum line. He did a follow up check and leaning 2 weeks ago, and all if fine. My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Thousand for many years. He and his staff are wonderful - efficient, caring people. I highly recommend Dr. Thousand to anyone needing periodontal care.

Periodontal Associates is an outstanding periodontal practice that provides exemplary periodontal work. I have relied on Dr. Eric Beckman and dental hygienist Michelle B.’s superb, highly knowledgeable kind professional attention for many years. Periodontal Associates’ entire staff is always wonderful and very welcoming. I had a fantastic “state of the art” laser surgery experience for which I am very grateful. I give Eric Beckman and his very dedicated and exemplary periodontal practice my very highest recommendation.
