We see a lot of smiles around here but the ones that happen in moments like this are some of our favorites. 💙

A good conversation, a few laughs, and feeling comfortable with the person taking care of you can make all the difference.

We’ll admit it. We get pretty excited about technology around here. 😄

We do not invest in advanced technology just because it is new. We invest in it because of what it allows us to do for our patients.

Better imaging helps us see more. Digital planning helps us be incredibly precise. Laser technology can provide less invasive treatment options. Modern techniques can make an experience that once sounded intimidating feel much more manageable.

If there is a tool or technique that can help us provide better, more precise, more comfortable periodontal and implant care, we want to know about it. That is one investment we will always be proud to make.

Around 85% of adults have some form of gum disease, yet it’s a topic that is often overlooked or ignored.

Warning signs can include swollen gums, loose teeth, and chronic bad breath, but in some cases, there may be no symptoms at all. That’s why it can go unnoticed for so long.

The good news? You can take control of your oral and overall health today. Call our practice at 813-723-2719 and let us help.

One of the things we love about having Dr. Johnson and Dr. Sausha together is the depth of knowledge they bring to our practice.

Dr. Johnson brings decades of experience serving the Tampa Bay community and is known for his precise, thoughtful approach to patient care. Dr. Sausha, on the other hand, brings a passion for education, teaching, and staying closely connected to advancements in the field.

Different experiences, shared standards, and two periodontists who genuinely care about doing what is right for their patients. We feel pretty lucky to have them both.👏
