A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the soft tissues of the mouth and the underlying jawbone which supports the teeth. A dentist must first graduate from an accredited dental school before undertaking an additional three years of study within a periodontology residency training program, in order to qualify as a periodontist.
Periodontal disease is diagnosed by your dentist or dental hygienist during a periodontal examination. This type of exam should always be part of your regular dental check-up. A periodontal probe (small dental instrument) is gently used to measure the sulcus (pocket or space) between the tooth and the gums.

Took my teenage Son for a procedure with Dr. Wetzel in December 2021 & are happy to say that he had zero complications with very little discomfort! From the moment we stepped in, Tracy did a great job at making him feel at ease about his procedure and the assistants took great care of him in the back. Thank you Dr. Wetzel for being gentle, I’m sure that had a lot to do with his fast recovery.

First, a shoutout to Dr Wetzel's entire team, from the front to the back. They're all friendly and professional.
I've had two extractions and two implants done here over the course of 2 years. Practically pain-free, and one day of pain meds was all I personally needed to recover each time. Very impressive work.
I enthusiastically recommend this office to anyone who needs perio work done.

After a little more than a decade of brushing my teeth over aggressively I needed two surgical grafts, and was referred to Dr. Wetzel. Before my consultation I was a little apprehensive; my main worry was that I would be in so much pain I wouldn’t be able to go to work. After my first surgery I was totally impressed at the lack of pain; Ibuprofen and Tylenol were all I needed. The second graft was equally tolerable, but in a slightly more sensitive area, making the acetaminophen and ibuprofen necessary but still adequate. I’d rate both surgeries a 2.5 on a 1-10 pain scale. All the staff were

So there is a think called dental anxiety, its REAL. That said, its not possible to be more comfortable in a dental office than here at Dr. Wetzel's practice. They really fo have a calm and caring demeanor from the moment you walk through the door. His dental assistants and his receptionist were clealry chosen for a reason, they enhoy their jobs and thats evident throughout the experience . I mean this guy pulled out one of my front teeth and i took the time to make sure i gave him a review. If you have to go to the denstist, and you hate dentists, if you have to have something done you dont want
