"What an amazing dental experience. Dianna, as well as the rest of the office staff, is efficient and kind and set the tone for a great experience. I was in for an extraction and had a bit of anxiety around the procedure. Alyssa, the surgical tech, was very knowledgeable and helped calm my nerves. Dr. Ghadri was personable and prompt and really, very skilled. This was the first time I felt no pain or anxiety during a dental procedure. 100% recommend this office. They have an amazing team and a beautiful location."

"I came to Premier Periodontics seeking help for a dental implant failure and I am SO GLAD I DID! The procedures I had to undergo for my treatment was getting a gum graft, bone graft and new implant placement. Now, usually I am intimidated by anything dental related but Dr. Ghadri and Sadie were so knowledgable and supportive I felt very comfortable in their care. I love that they were determined and dedicated to resolving my issue throrougly! The entire staff was also very friendly and helpful! Sandra made billing and scheduling appointments so uncomplicated. My confidence in my smile has been restored AND THEY DID THAT! ◡̈ ~~~grateful for Premier Periodontics"

"I'm grateful I found Dr. Ghadri and his team. Two other periodontists told me there was nothing they could do to help my situation. Dr. Ghadri did gum grafting on all my lower teeth a little over a week ago and I'm already amazed at how good it looks! I will refer anyone I know to this periodontist because he is highly skilled and kind."
