HIGHLY SKILLED PERIODONTIST
Erica Kleinbaum, DMD
As a Periodontist, my goal is to achieve a strong oral health foundation - or create one for you - with the latest technologies, techniques, and collaboration. Your gum and bone health are the foundation of a healthy smile, and it is the stability of this foundation that can carry us through all of life’s memories - meals, emotions and overall health. When periodontal diseases and conditions compromise our teeth, it is imperative that we explore solutions for restoring bone, gum and teeth for optimal function, esthetics and comfort.
As a Periodontist, one of my favorite aspects of my career is building a relationship with patients and educating them about tooth and bone loss. I am eager to be alongside my patients for the journey. My approach is to start gradually, get patients out of pain and discomfort, and develop a long-term plan that involves collaboration and input from the entire dental team. Teamwork and communication are the backbone to successful treatment in dentistry.
My work as a faculty member in the Periodontics Department at Tufts School of Dental Medicine allows me to stay abreast of the latest techniques and research in Periodontics, while also passing along my passions about soft tissue management, soft and hard tissue grafting, dental implants, and all things oral health!
