Welcome to Russo Periodontics

Our Sarasota practice is limited to periodontics and dental implantology. A very highly regarded periodontist, Dr. Russo is trained in the most sophisticated periodontal and dental implant techniques. At our practice, it is our priority to deliver the highest quality periodontal care to our patients.

We incorporate the latest technological advances in periodontics to treat all phases of periodontal disease. Utilizing both non-surgical and surgical procedures, it is our goal to maintain the health of your existing teeth for a lifetime. In cases where tooth loss is inevitable, Dr. Russo is highly trained in the placement of dental implants. We view it as our responsibility to educate our patients on the latest development in periodontal and implant care in order to help them make more informed decisions regarding their oral health. We pride ourselves on the personal care and compassion that we show to each of our patients.

We hope that you will find this website to be a useful and interesting resource for all of your periodontal concerns. If you would like more information about any of the procedures that we offer or to request an appointment, please call our office at the number listed above.
