Dr. Thousand was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly, making me feel comfortable and confident in my care. Melody is by far the best hygienist in the game! Very attentive, kind, and gentle. The entire front desk staff is friendly, efficient and always respond to any questions I have in a very timely manner. They were able to get me in quickly, which I appreciated. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for exceptional periodontal care!

Dr. Thousand is an excellent periodintis. I do feel however he could communicate the process better. Maybe in writing. I expected that the replacement teeth would be placed by him, only to find out it required a trip to my dentist to get those. A bill I did not expect because I thought it was included in my implant charges. 5 rating on his expertise, 1 rating on his communication.

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.

Every person with whom I came in contact was warm, welcoming, and proficient at their job. Upon first meeting Dr Thousand, I felt that I was in good hands. He emanated confidence and knowledge. He worked with his associate so very smoothly and I could clearly see by their interactions that he is the kind of doctor everyone wants to work with.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I see a periodontist instead of a general dentist?

A general dentist can manage many routine dental concerns, but a periodontist has additional specialty training in conditions affecting the gums and bone that support your teeth. You may be referred to a periodontist for advanced gum disease, significant gum recession or bone loss, loose teeth, dental implants, or more complex periodontal treatment.

Should I see a periodontist for bleeding or receding gums?

Bleeding or receding gums can be signs of an underlying periodontal problem. A periodontist can evaluate your gums and supporting bone, determine what is causing the changes, and recommend treatment to help protect your teeth and prevent further tissue loss.

Can I go directly to a periodontist without seeing my dentist first?

Yes. You can contact Periodontal Associates directly to schedule an evaluation, even if you have not been referred by a general dentist. We also welcome patients seeking a second opinion about gum disease, gum recession, dental implants, or whether a tooth can be saved.
