"Hi praise for my first visit to Premier Periodontics. Staff were efficient and attentive - especially Ms. Thanh. Dr. Toloue was thorough and took the time to explain next steps. All told as pleasant as a trip to the dentist can be……"

"Dr. Wattimena and his team were more than stellar, and exceeded my expectations with my recent dental implant work. We teamed up on a project with a neighboring Ortho (Kirkland Ortho) to perform teeth spacing and eventual implant. Throughout the entire experience, Dr. Wattimena and team ensured that my gum health was at its absolute best health during the 3 year stretch of my tooth project. From regular checks/cleanings to the actual implant day, I received a very high level of care. Dr. Wattimena approach to his work was highly recommended, coupled with great pre-op/post-op instructions, resulted in a very minimal post-op discomfort. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Wattimena and his team to those who are seeking Perio/Gum specialist!"

"I have had my cleanings and periodontia care here for 14 years. Dr Agnos was excellent, as is the care I receive from Allen Wattimena. The most important reason that I continue my care at Premier Periodontics is because of Lori. She has worked with me for the entire time, and provided me with excellent care and sage advice."

"Dr. Toloue and her assistant Ms Thanh installed an implant for a broken 🦷 molar, which she also extracted. Three visits for initial evaluation and follow up. An hour-long pull, drill and plug. As a boomer I had the typical trauma from the old pulley drills. And it’s been 70 years of anxiety and a couple of panic attacks. Until this. The only discomfort was holding my jaw open. Felt so little that I was surprised when it was finished. Two recommendations: avoid the necessity if you can, go here when it’s time to trade in your tooth for a new model."
